EA and Longtermist Wins and Losses - Footnote 10
1 evidence check
Last checked: 4/3/2026
The claim that *What We Owe the Future* achieved bestseller status is not directly supported by the source. The source only mentions the book's existence and its arguments. The source states that the FTX Future Fund committed more than $130 million in grants within four months of launching in February 2022, but it does not explicitly state that these grants were 'mostly to longtermist causes.' While the article mentions the fund's connection to longtermism, it doesn't specify the exact proportion of grants allocated to such causes.
