Importance of Thoughtful Decision-Making

When it comes to doing good in the world, people often don't apply the same level of careful decision-making that they would when choosing a laptop. The effectiveness of our actions in improving the world can vary significantly, and it is crucial to think deeply about the best ways to make a positive impact. Unlike buying a laptop, there is no ceiling on how much good we can do, and choosing the right actions can have a much bigger difference. With the effective altruism movement, individuals are encouraged to carefully consider their actions and prioritize opportunities that can achieve the most good.
