Episode description
Our resources are limited, so we have to use them wisely.
Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement focused on answering one question: How can we best help others?
In this Part 1 of 2 episodes Sandy Forbes Taylor and I explore what effective altruism is. And consider two principles of altruism:
- Using evidence and reason to find the most promising causes to work on.
- Taking action, by using our time and money to do the most good we can.
