This essay had a large effect on me when I read it early on in my EA Journey. Itâs hard to assign credit, but around the time I read it, I significantly raised my âaltruistic ambitionâ, and went from âI should give 10%â to âdoing good should be the central organizing principle of my life.â
I know many smart people who disagree with me, but I think this argument is basically sound. And it has had, for me anyway, formed a healthy voice in my head pushing me towards strong conviction.
