Thank you, I have read the Global Health and Wellbeing portfolio and listened to Alexander Berger’s podcast, but I am still left with the question, are they doing enough? Are their causes sufficiently broad? Have they left stones unturned? What innovative cause has been missed? I can’t help but think this is a too-easy dismissal of the circumstance, and risks missing opportunities to save lives in very effective cause areas
~50% of Open Phil spending is on global health, animal welfare, criminal justice reform, and other “shortermist” and egalitarian causes.
