Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg

NOTE

Balancing between reducing suffering and increasing happiness

Different people have varying levels of motivation towards reducing suffering and increasing happiness. Some find it charitable to alleviate pain and suffering for those in need, while others are inspired to bring joy to those who are already doing okay.

They believe that both aspects are equally important, acknowledging the significance of addressing human flourishing not only for those in extreme need but also for individuals who are not fully thriving.
