The Deaths of Effective Altruism

The author is Leif Wenar, Professor of Philosophy (as well as Humanities, Political Science, and Law) at Stanford.

He’s the author of the book Blood Oil: Tyrants, Violence, and the Rules that Run the World (about which Peter Singer wrote: “Philosophers rarely write big books that could change the world, but Blood Oil is such a book.”)

Wenar studied philosophy at Harvard with John Rawls and Robert Nozick, and was Karl Popper’s research assistant.

I think the author's criticism of EA would be more, uh, effective, if they summarized their main arguments in a few short paragraphs. The article is way too long.
