Zachary Robinson, CEO of the Centre for Effective Altruism, challenges the common belief that effective altruism is devoid of feelings. He emphasizes that personal emotions, like anger and sadness, drive individuals to take impactful action. Through relatable stories, he illustrates how frustrations can spark community initiatives—like addressing potholes in Omaha. Robinson argues that rational analysis and compassion should coexist, portraying analytical tools as manifestations of deep emotional commitment to alleviating suffering.
