lostboyevsky - effective altruism lyrics

[intro: lostboyevsky & robotic female voice & vinay gupta]
i do declare that what follows is the ultimate display of virtue signaling

lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lost

my vision of this world is that everybody gets to live the full length of their natural life. a world in which everybody gets to live the fullest part of their natural life. nobody dies from poverty

[chorus: lostboyevsky]
man, 20 million people per year die from poverty
let’s get all humans past this first level of maslow’s hierarchy
effective altruism; let’s meet everyone’s basic needs
and avoid existential risks that threaten entire species

[verse 1: lostboyevsky]
applying rationality to help world as much as possible
because preserving earth-originating life is far from optional
80,000 hours to do as much good as we can
yeah, i follow robert wiblin on facebook, he’s the man
i’m also way down with the global priorities project
helping us determine which pressing issues to select
i read peter singer’s, ‘the most good you can do’
and i find animal charity evaluators to be d-mn cool
you know i only donate based on givewell’s recommendations
sending mosquito nets to places where they’re needed greatly
i’d rather use my wealth to help earth than buy a rolex
and i value empirical evidence, word to slate star codex

[chorus]
20 million people per year die from poverty
man let’s get all humans past that first level of maslow’s hierarchy
effective altruism; meet everyone’s basic needs
and avoid existential risks that threaten our entire species

man existential risks are too real, are you hearing me?
humanity might commit species suicide, seriously
effective altruism, let’s find the greatest charities
and help save the lives of trillions of future beings

[verse 2: lostboyevsky]
i’m eager to see the results of givedirectly’s basic income pilot
and i see that addressing poverty can also decrease violence
i understand the importance of an expanding sphere of comp-ssion
and i listened to sam harris’ interview with will macask!ll
i volunteer as a digital strategist for the life you can save
and like the future of life institute, i help avoid m-ss graves
nuclear close calls make me shudder profoundly
and i’ve read a few things by eliezer yudkowsky
i like how tyler alterman shares things that are not filler
and yes i’m well-aware that politics is the mind-k!ller

[chorus]
man, 20 million human per year die from poverty
can we get everyone past this first level of maslow’s hierarchy
effective altruism; let’s meet everyone’s basic needs
and avoid existential risks that threaten our entire species

[verse 3: lostboyevsky]
thanks to elon musk we might soon be multi-planetary
that would increase our species’ resilience substantially
i tend to listen to endless interviews with vinay gupta
he’s a kind of bucky fuller 2.0, look him up
he says we should move hyper-dangerous research off orbit
nano and biotech r&d on the moon, that’d be majestic
please read nick bostrom’s existential risk paper
plus, wait but why’s series on super-intelligent ai, hater
i dig the center for the study of existential risk
and if i didn’t mention the global catastrophic risk institute, i’d be remiss
oh, and let’s not forget the future of humanity institute
cheers to making our chance of extinction more minuscule

[interlude: vinay gupta]
if we have a replicator accident it could wipe us out in a weekend. so we can’t do it on earth safely. and we need a business model for space. let’s put these two things together and force all replicator engineering at least as far as lunar orbit. it can’t be in earth orbit because if something goes wrong, it might fall back down again

[chorus]
man existential risks are too real, are you hearing me?
humanity might commit species suicide, seriously
effective altruism, let’s find the greatest charities
and help save the lives of trillions of future beings

[verse 4: lostboyevsky]
shout out worldwatch institute, cool earth, solarcity
regenvillages, tesla, and open source ecology
one acre fund, evidence action, and good ventures
against malaria foundation, spacex, and the future thinkers
highexistence, radically enlightened, refine the mind
innovations for poverty action and the sublime
i think giving what we can is extraordinary too
bill and melinda gates also seem to make an altruistically effective duo
i appreciate the machine intelligence research institute
ensuring ai doesn’t optimize for non-human-friendly values
here’s to getting less wrong, navigating this millennium’s insanity
and building a more cooperative, harmonious, sustainable humanity

[chorus]
man, 20 million people per year die from poverty
can we get all humans past that second level of maslow’s hierarchy
effective altruism; let’s meet everyone’s basic needs
and avoid existential risks that threaten our entire species

man, existential risks are too real, are you hearing me?
humanity might commit species suicide, seriously
effective altruism, let’s find the greatest charities
and help save the lives of trillions of future beings

man, 20 million people per year die from poverty
let’s get all humans past that second level of maslow’s hierarchy
effective altruism; meet everyone’s basic needs
and avoid existential risks that threaten our entire species
