“Wow, we need to help current people, current animals, and future people and future animals, all with a subset of present-day resources. What a tremendous task.”
Surely you mean we have a tremendous OPPORTUNITY! 😋
In all seriousness, this is a great post. In recent months with everybody talking about how wealthy EA is as a movement, we risk alienating individual donors—but it’s still important for folks to donate. There is SOO much good we can do as individuals.
Yeah, and one thing that often gets lost in the ‘EA now has loads of money’ claim is the fact that it only has a relatively large amount of money compared to a few years.
Compared to total global resources, this new money going to EA causes is really rather tiny. There is huge scope to grow and improve allocation of resources.
We should be encouraging projects that could bring even more money into the influence of EA thinking.
