Effective altruists consider all causes and actions, and then act in the way that brings about the greatest positive impact. It is this broad evidence-based approach that distinguishes effective altruism from traditional altruism or charity. Effective altruism sometimes involves taking actions that are less intuitive or emotionally salient. The philosopher Peter Singer is a notable supporter of effective altruism. centreforeffectivealtruism.org/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer Subscribe to this Channel: youtube/subscription_center?add_user=TheRationalFuture Science, Technology & the Future: scifuture.org Humanity+: humanityplus.org
