Karma: 843

I’m living in France. Learned about EA in 2018, found that great, digged a lot into the topic. The idea of “what in the world improves well-being or causes suffering the most, and what can we do” really influenced me a whole lot—especially when mixed with meditation that allowed me to be more active in my life.

One of the most reliable thing I have found so far is helping animal charities : farmed animals are much more numerous than humans (and have much worse living conditions), and there absolutely is evidence that animal charities are getting some improvements (especially from The Humane League). I tried to donate a lot there.

Long-termism could also be important, but I think that we’ll hit energy limits before getting to an extinction event—I wrote an EA forum post for that here: https://​​forum.effectivealtruism.org/​​posts/​​wXzc75txE5hbHqYug/​​the-great-energy-descent-short-version-an-important-thing-ea

[Question] Do you know some promis­ing French char­i­ties (which may or may not work globally) ?
