i think more, more weird things should be thought of as charity causes. And the expansion of the notion of charity within the e a movement to incorporate things like that is good in general. i agree withs for example, whe mascal has an interesting point where he says, you know, we should probably leave some coal in the ground. But but by treating as a charity cause, we can actually raise a bunch of money for it, and we can distribute it. I think that's very quol dtarian.
Neuroscientist Erik Hoel talks about why he is not an "effective altruist" with EconTalk host, Russ Roberts.
