My sister was a vegetarian for 15 years before I became one. She normalised it for me. I think I’ve normalised it for other people. This sort of ripple effect is impossible to measure but it gives us more reason to uphold admirable behaviour.
Yeah I agree that me being a vegetarian probably normalises it. But is it really impossible to estimate the impact of that? My EA intuition tells me that if it was measured somewhat accurately, it’d still be magnitudes lower impact than giving to effective charities.
