Ineffective Altruism?


Critics have been stumbling over themselves to undermine the Effective Altruism movement, which endeavors to make charitable giving more effective.

Richard Yetter Chappell offers a convincing rebuttal to a recent critique of Effective Altruism by Judith Lichtenberg (published in The Atlantic).

The critics have the winds of Status Quo Bias blowing strongly from behind, and that alone might be enough to win the day. Sigh.
