Given you have known all this time about EA, why did you never think of getting involved?
In my case, it is because I am not much concerned about the problems of the world. I care about my own life, which requires that the rest of the world flourish to some extent, but I can do more for myself by cultivating my own garden than by enslaving myself to a cause that I do not actually feel. My donations to charities have been few, and only to those whose goals have in some way touched my own life.
The only fire for me in the VNM theorem, in the writings of Peter Singer, or in the EA movement, is a conflagration to flee from, a theme I have elaborated upon in this satire.
