I agree that diminishing returns are hit very quickly when the focus is on effective “donating.” I am interested in skills training, and I have proposed a group therapy-like format, where EAs discuss their own experiences with altruism and effectiveness—including complications/issues, success stories, and even promoting altruistic qualities in other aspects of life.
For example, I think we could learn a lot from the officer in the video below—to see through all the divisive boundaries of the current system and do the best you can in the current situation. These traits take practice, and community support is vital. Open-mindedness, empathy, willingness, and resolve.
