Note to others: just because Tom and Peter plan to write a defense of prioritizing global poverty doesn’t mean you don’t need to, can’t, or shouldn’t write your own defense of the same cause if it’s the one you favor as well. More publishing of cause selection rationale can only lead to a more robust defense of that cause! Even if you inadvertently make some of the same points Tom and Peter do, you’ll probably phrase or put them differently, and having different angles on the same premise can help a wider diversity intuit its validity better.
