Why do I get to ask for 10k with a good chance of success, while friends of mine struggling with money who aren’t EA aligned can’t? I don’t feel any more special or deserving than them in a way. I feel unfairly privileged somehow.
I appreciate that you’re not trying to make logical arguments, but rather share your feelings. But in any event, my view is that this isn’t an important consideration.
If they’re doing something that’s high-impact, then there might be such a case—but I assume you mean that they are not. And I think it’s better to look at a global scale—and on such a scale, most people in the West are doing relatively well. So I don’t think that’s the group we should be worried about neglecting.
