You don't need to apologize! People like GP are just liars. It's incredible the consistency with which you can go from [negative opinion about EA] to [revealed extreme ignorance of EA]. Just let the person talk for another sentence or two and they'll out themselves as having literally zero familiarity whatsoever with EA. "EA sucks because it pursues flashy, exciting projects" is an insane position that, truly, only a liar could write.

  Step 1. Go to https://www.centreforeffectivealtruism.org/ https://www.centreforeffectivealtruism.org/ Step 2. Click "Find a charity to donate to", which links you here: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/best-charities-to-donate-to-2026 https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/best-charities-to-donate-to-... Step 3. Read the list of cause areas Here's a preview since apparently there are hordes of overconfident people too "busy" to follow simple steps like these: 3 cause areas: Global health & Wellbeing, Animal Welfare, Global Catastrophic Risk Global Health: * Malaria * Malaria * Vitamin A for children * Vaccines for children * GiveWell, an aggregator for charities similar to the prior 4 Animal Welfare: * Fund aggregators to increase animal wellbeing by the dozens, hundreds, or thousands, or millions of living creatures' suffering Global Catastrophic Risk: * Research on AI risk, bioengineering risk, and nuclear risk – all of which AI is not only listed last, but doesn't even have its own dedicated page. It's lumped in with a set of other things that many people believe are long-term risks rather than immediate term massive problems, like childhood vaccinations, malaria, or industrial animal abuse. Hope that helps!
