Is "morewrong" a typo (maybe an intentional one), a parody I could find, or a real thing I haven't heard of? (Your other examples and your comment in general is just factual in its complaints and isn't using "Micro$erf" level of discourse so I am learning against it being an intentional typo.)

It's intentional, it's a modification of the name, but I wouldn't call it a typo. I try not to to name check the leader of this movement (who like "Ron" is a literary critic, polymath and who knows what else) every time annoyingly like every article on that "wrong" blog, in addition to the obligatory "trigger warning". (Both of those violate my and よしのん's style guide)

but gee it makes me wish an ".ng" domain was cheaper...

My guess is it's a reference to a blog. Replace "more" with "less".

I have seen claims that it's a cult, and also that "effective altruism" is a spin-off from this cult.
