I don’t mean to imply that, and I agree it probably doesn’t make sense to think longtermist causes are top and then not donate to them. I was just using 10x GiveDirectly as an example of where the bar is within near termism. For longtermists, the equivalent is donating to the EA Long-term or Infrastructure Funds. Personally I’d donate to those over GiveWell-recommended charities. I’ve edited the post to clarify.
