You may already be doing this.
Make all the money you can with your skills and knowledge.
Find a worthwhile charity. Give worthy charities money, to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, provide housing to the homeless, work to end drug addiction. There is so much need in the world.
- passion__desire 3y agoSo sam bankman fried strategy?
- passion__desire 3y agoI just realized the problem isn't as much about resource constraints but the political will and structural issues and perverse incentives. If OP is really interested in solving problems, he shouldn't be another cog in the wheel in the Charity Industry but attack the problem from first principles, read some literature.
- tpwtpw 3y agoThanks for your comment. I would say the high level causes you have delineated need to be addressed. There certainly are political & structural issues that can be worked on. I am not sure how I would solve these issues. What specific actions would you suggest to solve the political, structural issues and to resolve the perverse incentives? That being said, I think the need of a hungry person is food, a cold person warm clothing and a homeless person shelter. These are immediate every day needs that an individual can help with now. A good charity is a vehicle that can help. A direct approach is to go to a mall or shelter or food bank and directly help people in need. Again, thanks for the feedback.
- passion__desire 3y agoOne way to correct structural problems would be to do data analysis and why allocated money is being wasted or not enough or whatever the case be. That would be your high impact role since you are already proficient in software engineering. Get some publicly available data and do analysis. I am a big believer in transparency being a key driver for change and innovation. [basically open source philosophy]
