Effective altruism and the scientific approach
Effective altruism is about making altruism as effective as possible through evidence-based decision-making and continuous learning, similar to the scientific approach of using experiments and formal reasoning to uncover the truth. It is not about following a set of prescribed charities or career paths but rather asking how one can maximize their impact with the resources they are willing to dedicate towards doing good.
