Welcome to support as

Bit late to the party, but: One issue with a lot of these principles is that it assumes things will just continue as they are. Even if you can currently easily give away 10% of your income, something might happen that makes you wish you had saved that amount. That is probably preventing a lot of people from diving in. The percentages don't sound like much, but it sure feels like it when seeing the actual sum!

Best explanation video on donation and thank you for giving us hope for better world😊🌎 #GivingWhatWeCan

The GiveWell exercise on comparing like to like charities is useful and important for donors to consider. However, comparing a cash transfer program that aims to solve for intergenerational poverty vs distributing malaria nets is an unnecessary comparison. Both problems need to be solved and given the complexity of issues we face today it can never be either or, but this and that. Research like this can lead to concentration of funds to a small list of causes/ charities and that is something this video does not call out

There are many different ways to donate. I for example revealed my inventions for free and took nothing. Everybody shall give something. No need to pay if you prefer another way to donate.

How would I go about searching for an ethical/trustworthy charity?

Thanks! We need more videos like this!

Superb video! Can't wait to start my first "proper" job next year and start saving some lives!

This is a wonderful video!

I like this interviews! Just some quick feedback, I think it would be better if you film them from the front (or "diagonally front") instead of sideways.

Such a great video! Well done GWWC team!! In the first half where you have the surprised reactions from people learning they are in the top 1% it is understandable for them to react like this and I agree even after being a member for a long time it still is just hard to get your head around. Maybe an idea for a future video where you could maybe show some kind of illustration of a typical life of someone in the top 25%, top 50% and top 75% just to help everyone visualise it all.

Sam Harris did a podcast on this and brought up a really good point; the impact of charity is disproportionally greater when we use logic (the information gathered in studies) over emotion (the feeling we get when we see the person we're helping in front of us)

Moving, engaging, fun, insightful video. Outstanding interviewing; outstanding editing. A work of art! Thank you.

Awesome video, really inspiring and eye-opening!

Great video overall. And a really great idea to include the statistical value of life in developed nations!

Great video! I feel like this video does a great job of boiling down some of the most important arguments/ideas around effective giving in a very approachable way. However, since we are talking about a 15 minute youtube video it is obviously taking out some of the nuances behind these very complicated topics. In conversation with others (non-EAs) I realized that these simplifications are strongly triggering some internal defense mechanisms against the position advertised. I do not really have a solution to this. You cannot really react to possible counterarguments like "Well, you are not solving the underlying problems of poverty and missing (medical) infrastructure therefore not really eliminating the root of the problem" while keeping it at a quite snappy 15 minute video. The best solution I could come up with was utilizing this video as an opener to follow up with additional material and discussions once an initial interest was sparked.

Quite moving

Amazing video!

excellent content 10/10

Makes me proud to be 10% pledger :)

this is really inspiring!

Commenting for the algorithm ❤

Fantastic video!

This is the best video I’ve seen about effective giving ever! Good job!

I love this! ❤ it’s all the things that motivated me to pledge summarised up together :)

Hell ya! People helping people!

“We should burn up a star in order to save someone's life." I love this quote. It really hits home the difference between the cost to save a life and the VALUE of a life. So inspiring.

I like to think of donating as whether I would switch to a job where I have a 10% smaller salary but I save a life every year - a no-brainer in my opinion! Amazing video, great work!

This really seems directed more at middle class people who already have all of their needs met instead of "everyone" I'm in the top ~20% globally with my ~$10k yearly income bur if I start giving to charity, I won't be able to afford my own cost of living. So who does that really help? Just seems strange to put the onus of charity on to school teachers and old people in wheelchairs when billionaires still exist.

Cool video.

Absolutely loved this video! 😍 It's so well done and truly inspiring. Great job!

Fantastic video, well done.

This video made me tear up. Thank you Giving What We Can!

Awesome, thanks for making this. Glad to see you go through all of the steps of reasoning here. There's a lot to explain here and it can be really tough to get through all of this if I'm talking to some random person at a party for example.

Extremely well done! Excited to see what you make next

You can't just go by just how much a person makes per year, but need to include the cost of living for that person. For those that live in rich countries, their day to day necessities can be very expensive compared to those that live in poor countries. For example a person in a rich country sees his automobile (which costs on average $50k) as a transport necessity, while for a person in a poor country it is a $50 bike or $500 moped or a 50 cents bus ticket. That automobile weighs 4000 lbs (just to move 200 lbs) and sits unused 23 hours per day - quite an inefficient use of resources. Given more money, the rich find inefficient ways to spend it and don't feel so rich. Housing in the rich world can be very expensive too. For example a typical home where I live costs $1M. Those is not because we live in mansions, but because the automobile enabled urban sprawl and when we ran out of space to build, but demand surpassed supply, home price skyrocketed. this is our inefficient use of land. I live in a rich country but am very frugal and efficient, so I actually feel richer than many people who earn more, but use it all up and don't have savings. By the way, my intention is not to spend my savings on myself, but to give it away to environmental causes.

this is fantastic, thanks so much for doing this

What an awesome, educational video! As said in the video, it's surprising how comparatively rich many of us in the western world are and just how far our money can go

Wow great job. It is sometimes hard to remember how strange this all seems to someone encountering it for the first time when many of us have been steeped in these ideas and social circles for a while now. A good reminder how powerful and transmissible these ideas are.

Amazing video!! So well made
