I also really disliked this section. “Let’s say only one other person in your network hears that you took the pledge and is inspired to do the same.”
I don’t care if other people take the pledge! I only care if other people give, and give effectively.
If they’d be influenced to “take the pledge” because me taking the pledge, why wouldn’t they be influenced donate a proportion of their income effectively by seeing me donate?
You can make the argument for why the pledge is more effective than just donating, but you haven’t done it here.
