Introduction to effective altruism
Effective Altruism, June 22, 2016
Abstract
Effective altruism is a research field that uses high-quality evidence and careful reasoning to work out how to help others as much as possible, while also being a community of people taking these answers seriously. Because most interventions seem to have low impact, effective altruism suggests choosing a cause with great prospects and tested solutions, such as reducing poverty, animal suffering or improving the long-term future. – AI-generated abstract.
