Great post, and definitely agree we should focus on this more.
Another thing I personally find exciting about effective altruism is that the question “How do I do the most good?” (with my career, money etc.) is a really motivating, intellectually challenging question to spend my time thinking about. So for those who enjoy spending their time thinking about interesting questions, effective altruism offers an environment in which to discuss one of the most important and stimulating questions out there—that’s pretty exciting to me. I would imagine at least some others feel similarly.
