For what it’s worth, I’m on the 1 year “try giving” pledge atm. Even though I currently donate to “EA approved” orgs, I would never make the life-long commitment if I thought it meant giving up the right to use my own discretion when deciding which causes/organisations to give to.
Love it nice one Xavier! I completely agree with you, and I don’t see the pledge as even having to have a direct relationship to EA. I think anyone could legitimately sign the pledge outside of any direct EA framework, giving money to whatever was in your opinion was an effective organsation.
