How Marcus got involved with the effective altruism movement

"High Impact Athletes is the vehicle that I've created to try to be the best advocate for EA ideas as possible"

The significance of GiveWell

Confidence in GiveWell's process including their transparency about making mistakes, and the openness to criticism & new evidence in the EA community generally.

"If I can donate these amounts of money and it doesn't affect my quality of life or my happiness, then I'm not losing anything really, but that amount of money can be life-saving or life-changing for so many people or animals in the world"

Peter Singer's "Shallow Pond" thought experiment had Evie feeling pretty bad for a while there. Delighted with the recent focus on giving as an amazing opportunity, rather than a moral obligation (even if it is really a moral obligation)

The problem of relying on empathy to tell us how to do good. An example might be that vastly more money is donated to pet shelters than to organisations working to improve the lives of factory farm animals.
