Thanks for the post, we may be using this for a discussion group I’m running! Have you accidentally duplicated this section? ”Update: Some people argued that it doesn’t make sense to hedge your bets for donations and I disagree. Especially donations towards long-termist causes have huge uncertainty attached to them and thus the expected value of one option is included within one standard deviation from another option. Thus I would say it does make sense to diversify, especially if one option includes high-impact, low-probability scenarios.” It appears in the Insurances section but I don’t see its relevance.
I was also a little confused what a Daylight lamp was; does its spectra reflect what is outside at the time? e.g. warm red light at night, cool light in the day?

Thanks for the hint. Fixed it!
Re daylight lamp: exactly right. They aren’t even much more expensive than a normal lamp.
