I really dislike EA and utilitarianism in general. I agree wholeheartedly with this.

However, the atmosphere around effectiveness has been encouraged by the donor organisations – your gift does good! This is understandable I think. People want to know they aren’t just wasting their time or money. I do want to know that fewer people are starving (or whatever).

I would love to see money channeled through international friendships – i think there are two places where this already exists – churches and sports.
