Debating Effective Altruism
This chapter features a vigorous debate on the effectiveness of the effective altruism movement in addressing global challenges. One speaker advocates for the movement's evidence-based approach to philanthropy, while the other critiques its oversimplification of complex human issues and potential reinforcement of systemic problems. The discussion further explores the movement's influence on charitable giving, particularly in the realms of animal welfare and the prioritization of metrics over meaningful change.
