Just noting that there’s a huge literature on this exact question, eg
Phil Trammell, “Philanthropy timing and the hinge of history,” Feb 2020
Will MacAskill,”When should an effective altruist donate?,” Sept 2019
Holden Karnofsky, “Good Ventures and Giving Now vs. Later,” Dec 2016
Julia Wise, “Giving now vs. later: a summary,” Jul 2013
I’m skimming but so far I’m surprised how qualitative the arguments are and how they seem to look at it at an individual level vs a population of altruists. Thanks!
Thank you. I was hoping there was!
