It is possible to rationally prioritise between causes without engaging deeply on philosophical issues
At least on the margin, sometimes. I don’t think “children dying is bad” requires deeply engaging philosophical issues, and once you have the simple goal “fewer children die” you can do some cause prioritization.
(In contrast, I think a straightforward strategy of figure out the nature of goodness and then pick the causes requires ~solving philosophy.)
