I am a Canadian-Chilean designer/illustrator, lecturer, and computer technician who has lived and worked in three different countries on three different continents (in two point five languages!)
Dedicated to supporting and promoting the betterment of humanity; traditionally have done so through volunteerism/political action, lending my creative and communication problem solving skills to advocacy, and now as a member of the Effective Altruism community!
(I also knows a concerning amount of weird facts about pop culture, music, and bizarre history, making me an ideal pub quiz teammate!)
This is incredibly interesting and enlightening; thank you!
Particularly love to see the way that these different organizations are looking at each others’ work and ideas and fit-testing them for their own approach and priorities. I’m especially interested in the question of how to measure good better by taking the effectiveness of the implementation into account, since this is where I can foresee a lot of great in-theory approaches diminishing in effectiveness when hit with real-world obstacles like convoluted systems/miscommunication or shifting context, etc.
As such, I even wonder how granular this approach could get; could additional work looking at systems, obstacles, or contexts objectively reveal ways that some interventions with potentially high impact traditionally considered too high-cost might suddenly become more accessible/effective?
