Here’s what I wish the low-resolution version was:
”Effective altruists believe that if you actually try to do as much good as you can with your money or time, you’ll do thousands of times more good than if you donate in the usual ways. They also think that you should do this.”
I’m sympathetic to the idea of trying to make spread of impact the key idea. I think the problem in practice is “do thousands of times more good” is too abstract to be sticky and easily understood, so it gets simplified to something more concrete.
“Effective altruists believe you’ll 1000x more good if you prioritize impact” “Effective altruists believe you’ll 1000x more good if you actually try to do the most good you can.” ”Effective altruists believe you’ll do 1000x more good if you shut up and calculate”
“Effective altruists believe you’ll do 1000x more good if you take cost-effectiveness calculations seriously”
I think the third one is my favorite, haha, but the second one is what I think would actually be best.

Nice! Could you do a version which is 70% lower resolution? 😁
Thanks! How about these:
“Effective altruists believe you’ll 1000x more good if you prioritize impact”
“Effective altruists believe you’ll 1000x more good if you actually try to do the most good you can.”
”Effective altruists believe you’ll do 1000x more good if you shut up and calculate”
“Effective altruists believe you’ll do 1000x more good if you take cost-effectiveness calculations seriously”

I’d add “Most” to the beginning of all of those and then I think it’s more accurate but still low-res :P
Sounds good.
