Another thing I would like to add is, that even in my framework farm animals are in the second circle, that is, right next to humans. They are not the same category as insects or soil nematodes. And they indeed live in horrendous conditions. I think every effective altruist should allocate some money to them.
My intention was to try to keep those 10% to humans sacred, to prevent value drift, and trains to crazy town. I made a case for it. Am I right? I don’t know.
I am quite confident about the priorities thing. But perhaps there shouldn’t be such a harsh cutoff.
Perhaps we can do it like this donate 1 unit to the first circle, 1⁄2 to the second circle, and 1⁄4 to the third circle.
Translated into percentages it would be roughly 57% of donation money to the 1st circle (including X-risks), 29% to the second circle (farm animals) and 14% to the third circle (wild animals).
