If anyone is ever at a point where they are significantly discouraged by thoughts along these lines (as I’ve been at times), there’s an Effective Altruist self-help group where you can find other EAs to talk to about how you’re feeling (and it really does help!). The group is hidden, but if you message me, I can point you in the right direction (or you can find information about it on the sidebar of the Effective Altruist facebook group).
