My own experience is the opposite of this. I feel like I would have been a significantly worse person without the influence of EA ideology.

Did you not want to make the world a better place before being exposed to EA ideology?

I did, but the whole "you can literally save a human life for the same price as a business class flight ticket" thing was mindblowing and raised its importance in my mind by a lot

Totally but that’s not a big ideological shift. That’s just realizing the level of impact you can have. If you never knew that then it doesn’t make you a worse person.

If I did not realize my potential level of impact on others, I would have invested more into myself instead. In turn, given how human psychology works, I would have acquired much less of an identity around helping others.
