https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/mBTvWNj9EXxyMM9TS/eas-should-donate-2-to-warm-fuzzy-causes-and-8-to-ea-causes https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/mBTvWNj9EXxyMM9TS/... The stated goals put it (warm fuzzies donation) at less important than being effective (but still required so you don't burn out). So to the first order, your comment is incorrect. However, perhaps you meant something more like "Ea trains you to be happy with making donations which which are more 'effective'", which would be true. And maybe a touch of pride/smugness for having figured it out.
