Agree. I kind of regret mentioning QALY in my argument, but do notice that I was trying to be healthy skeptical when I mentioned “I still don’t think that donating for this cause would result, in the margin, in more QALY than donating to GD, in general”. I never said I was confident that GD would result in more QALYs than supporting psychedelics.
Got it, thanks.
As far as I know, GiveWell considers cost-effectiveness estimates as informative for efficacy differences that are orders of magnitude apart.
For two interventions that are on the same order of magnitude, the analyses aren’t granular enough to believably inform which is more effective.

Okay. I’m not sure if there’s a crux here, in that case.
