Strong upvote for this post! While I’d caution against linking this sequence to the Effective Altruism forum and movement in general—because I don’t think placing explicit and extremely strong moral *obligations* about action makes for a healthy, self-confident or outward looking mass movement—I would definitely encourage Firinn to write more LessWrong posts in this vein.
The LessWrong community should be very enthusiastic about more articulate narratives and discussions on exemplary actions motivated toward saving the whole entire world! Posts digging into the notion of habitually taking such extraordinary actions are personally some of my favorite type of content on the site and are very inspiring. Props to OP for articulating very well a sense of staunch dedication, and also for using lots of handy hyperlinks.
