Will Aldred comments on Open Phil Should Allocate Most Neartermist Funding to Animal Welfare

[Will Aldred]

The “EA movement”, however you define it, doesn’t get to control the money and there are good reasons for this.

I disagree, for the same reasons as those given in the critique to the post you cite. Tl;dr: Trades have happened, in EA, where many people have cast aside careers with high earning potential in order to pursue direct work. I think these people should get a say over where EA money goes.
