Why You Should Care More About Your Children Than About Others, Allah Peter Singer
I'm a moral constructivist. I think it's okay to put more effort into caring about your children than to caring about people elsewhere in the world or in other times that you don't know and have never met. This is where effective altruism sort of gets into trouble. There are people who take it so seriously that they become miserable. We can all work to make everyone better off. That's not a zero-sum game. And we should try to do both as well as we can.
