Very interesting. It seems we can split the giving decision into two components:
Empirical things about the world
Value judgements, which the average citizen is as well-equipped to make as anyone else
Are you aiming for the average citizens whom you engage with to only provide input on the second, but not on the first?
In case it’s helpful, we at SoGive have been thinking about this quite a bit.
I run SoGive which does research on charity impact and supports major donors.
We ran a moral weights exercise 2 years ago which involved survey of 500 members of the public and number of qualitative surveys with donors. We’re currently in the process of revisiting this work. If you would like to have a chat, feel free to ping me via the EA Forum or on sanjay@sogive.org
