To what extent do you believe Investing to Give is better than Direct Work because we’re not working on exactly the right problems/solutions vs “you just have more money”
Because if the argument relies on the latter, on producing 9x more money than regular Earning To Give, surely the question is “At what level of income is it better to ETG, than work on direct cause areas”. I think this is especially relevant because of how scalable and fungible cold hard cash is. I.e. If one donates 14 billion USD, they are donating the equivalent of 1.4 million regular people (Whom donate 10,000 USD a year). Considering this has already happened, and we don’t (yet) have 1.4 million ETG, it provides strong practical evidence for this mechanism of scale. However labour is likely harder to scale. Hence the funding overhang.
I appreciate I am not saying anything new here, but I don’t see any important distinction between being a high Earning to giver (and donating in the short term), and being a median income Investing to giver.
