Thanks for making this!
FYI, almost all of GiveDirectly’s income comes from Good Ventures or non-EAs. Its funding sources break down as follows:
Total: 17.4 million Good Ventures: 7 million Other Givewell: ~3.4 million Other non-EA: 7 million (presumably)
I think this sort of comparison is very valuable overall!
Another response to this is Nick Bostrom’s astronomical waste argument.
tl;dr: The resources in our light cone will decrease even if we don’t make use of them. It’s quite plausible that even a few months of a massive, highly advanced civilization could have more moral worth than the total moral worth of the next 500 years of human civilization. So accelerating development by even a small amount, allowing an eventual advanced civilization to be slightly larger and last slightly longer, is still massively important relative to other non x-risk causes.
