I love the idea behind effective altruism, and it definitely has some merit. But unfortunately many of it's proponents are hopelessly naive about what is actually effective, often falling prey to the trap of believing only what is measurable has value, and that is possible to measure the effect of actions taken in complex situations via mere statistical analysis. This does gradually seem to be improving over time so I have hope for the future, but for now it's a movement worth engaging with, but with a massive pinch of salt rather than swallowing their claims wholesale.
