Effective policy is more resilient than effective individual giving
the term “altruism” attracts people who believe government cannot operate effectively
the term “policy” attracts people who believe government fundamentally can solve problems
it is more important that people from the latter group are working to think in an outcome-oriented, data-driven way
this way of thinking is the best element of effective altruism, the diligence to avoid bias and consider only the solutions that produce the best outcomes
we should be more focused on effective policy than on effective altruism
