There is significant overlap between the EA and Lesswrongy groups, also parallel psychopathic (oh sorry, I mean "utilitarian navel gazing psychopathy") policy perspectives.

E.g. there is (or was) some EA subgroup that wanted the development of a biological agent that would genocide all the wild animals, because-- in their view-- wild animals lived a life of net suffering and so exterminating all of them would be a kindness.

... just in case you wanted an answer to the question "what would be even less ethical than the Ziz-group intention to murder meat-eaters"...



Wow. Didn't they learn about ecosystems at school. And who says they are suffering?
