I like the convergences article, saw it before. But why wouldn’t EA be a good substitute? In one world, we’re paying money to the consumer industry for candy and liquor. In the other world, we’re paying money to help people have better lives. I certainly like the second world better, and so does my wife :-)
This seems to fall under http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/n7w/beware_surprising_and_suspicious_convergence/ . Isn’t it a little unusual that EA just happens to be a good Valentine’s Day substitute?
