I think you and I are psychologically different in that way. So maybe this gives you a comparative advantage in direct work, and me a comparative advantage in EtG?
Let’s see if the Less Wrong poll code works on the EAF… Which option would you find easier psychologically?
Are you considering the greatly reduced financial security? With etg, if you run into a problem you can just cut back your donations. That’s not true if your income is 4-times less.
It’s true that donations provide a cushion which should reduce insecurity, but I think the insecurity would be low anyway so reducing it has little value.
I for one would find it much psychologically easier to live on 25% of my current comp than to donate 50% of it.
