You need to frame this in terms of quantifiable material loss to them in order for there to be a chance that they'd care.

- lbrito 1y agoThat won't help much because the quantifiable material loss in that scenario wouldn't be much.

- magicalist 1y ago> And if he is right the gain will far outweigh the loss So is your suggestion that medical policy based on balancing humours is actually effective altruism?
- normalaccess 1y agoBalancing humors? Odd way to phrase that. I am saying that if you save 1 kid in an extreme situation but injured 1000 to do it you are causing more harm than good. Our current policies favor fearmongering and cherry-picking to influence people to seek medical treatment that they don't need and come with side effects. The fact that Doctors get paid a kickback for high child VAX percentages alone is enough to make me toss out the whole idea.
