Re: thinking about negative effects, controversy and caveats—people’s memories usually aren’t true, so, I remember from your ice bucket article that bednets etc. were more effective, and that people have moral capital which means we need to account for fundraising with heavy discounting, and that this means that ice bucket style fundraising is particularly low value. I don’t remember you putting in any caveats about raising awareness of ALS, the empathy that it helps generate, the improved social standing of people with ALS or self esteem after the mass action—I’m sure you did put some in because I know you’re not like that. I think this kind of fuzzy trace memory probably is how most people take impressions away from articles? Just something to bear in mind—caveats are unlikely to be remembered?
EA brand is an interesting debate, but very hard to organise the discussion effectively. I agree that this probably had a turning off and a turning on effect. Like Lombourg had in pushing cost effectiveness by tearing down climate change efforts.
