Thanks!
I adapted that framing from Will MacAskill (example of this starting 12:45 in the podcast with Sam Harris here: https://www.samharris.org/podcast/item/being-good-and-doing-good). MacAskill refers to the framing as “Excited Altruism” It might come across as better when he tells it than in a web survey. But I think it’s pretty similar. I grouped this in with “opportunity”, which I’ve also seen called “exciting opportunity” in the ea community (http://lukemuehlhauser.com/effective-altruism-as-opportunity-or-obligation/).
But, regardless of what it’s called, I agree with you on the takeaway.
Thanks!
