Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement that seeks to maximize the positive impact of one’s actions in order to improve the well-being of others, particularly those who are suffering the most. It involves using evidence-based methods to identify the most effective ways to help people, animals, and the environment, and then directing resources and efforts toward these causes. Effective altruists focus on global issues such as poverty, disease, and climate change, as well as existential risks that could threaten the survival of humanity. They seek to make a significant difference in the world by donating to effective charities, volunteering their time and skills, advocating for policy changes, and pursuing careers in high-impact fields. Effective altruism encourages individuals to think critically about their charitable giving and to consider the long-term consequences of their actions. By promoting a more rational and strategic approach to doing good, effective altruism has the potential to make a significant difference in the world.
