- yesenadam 4y agoI liked it too. It's the argument from Australian philosopher of ethics Peter Singer's The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty (2009). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_You_Can_Save https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_You_Can_Save Singer started a charity of the same name, designed to make your charity dollar do the most good. The site also has info on the best charities to give to. https://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/ https://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/ He followed that book with The Most Good You Can Do: How Effective Altruism Is Changing Ideas About Living Ethically (2015) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Good_You_Can_Do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Good_You_Can_Do Slightly off-topic: I'm (genuinely) curious what other essays you had in mind when you wrote that second sentence! I'd like to read them.
