Thanks for your input. Please note that I’ve written this article for a specific kind of very emotionally empathetic person of which I’ve met maybe five or so (when I count myself). It’s terrible advice for all the people The Life You Can Save is written for. A bit in the spirit of All Debates are Bravery Debates, there are very different sorts of people out there, and some have to correct in the opposite direction as others.
These people don’t have a terribly distorted view of their locational privilege, but still of course they will typically know little about the countries where they’re helping people. In order not to be scammed, they can rely on GiveWell, ACE, or invest into movement building.
