Although "effective altruism" sounds reasonable and should always be considered, it does neglect the human side of things. How many years do we add to the life of a lonely elderly couple by visiting them?
- bonniemuffin 10y agoI think the point is that people with a surplus of money can be most effective by well-targeted monetary donations, while people with extra time should be spending it with the elderly. We can be collectively more effective with some specialization.
