Thanks so much for the fast and detailed response!
Sorry I should be clearer. Ben Wilder probably shouldn’t donate all of his money this year. EA is a marathon, not a sprint, and it’s good to take advantage of (eg) learning more and worldview shifts. I just don’t think optimal philanthropic timing is the main consideration here.
PS A third approach would be more bottom up: do a search for the best thing you can donate to right now, then compare it to your best investment, and try to think about which is better.
Agreed, I think there’s a lot to recommend for this approach, including but not limited to if this search works out well, relevant information can be passed along to the rest of this community.
