I agree with this, so essentially “Diversify your portfolio” where the “your portfolio”=the portfolio of EA as a whole
For example, let’s say you think Strong Mind’s is neglected by the community, then you, as an individual, would be of sound mind to donate all of your donations to strong minds.
Yeah, there’s a strong portfolio argument, but I do worry that it potentially makes it too easy to donate only to less effective things for personal giving, on the grounds that other EAs neglect them. To combat this, I think it makes sense for individual EAs to give in proportion to where they think the community overall should give, unless there is a specific non-scalable neglected opportunity that they are pursuing funding.
