Very good introduction to effective altruism. However, I was thinking about the example of the spending on counter terrorism and pandemics prevention. The low number of deaths by terrorism could be due to the large spending on counter terrorism so if we allocate such spending in pandemic prevention the number of terrorism victims could increase. How to know how much resources to re-allocate for optimal distribution?
