  Helpful to see what may put people off EA. I think it does tend to be too futuristic. There is some pride in thinking you are working on the most important problems. Be an atheist points 6/7 dont resonate for me. But for people who want to make some difference surely picking a problem that is more important and where your time/money makes more difference is better? It does not mean you cannot support a favoured, less 'important' cause just because you like it. In fact Peter Singer suggests just that in "The Life You Can Save".

  I spent 15 years coming up with various schemes to help people in Central America. After the first 5 it was obvious that cash to individuals with whom I’m in personal contact is the most efficient way to give. All others involve intermediaries with incentives to not solve problems.

  I am grateful for Effective Altruism. After working with humanitarian service, it is changing the landscape. Data matters. That is why I like Effective Altruism.

  Effective Altruism isn't the problem. What people consider as Effective Altruism is the problem. People need to distinguish between the two. Effective Altruism is necessary. Humanitarian service needs to be backed up by data, which is Effective Altruism is needed. It is also important to analyze what people consider Effective Altruism. You have to carefully study, and understand what you are trying to help with. Effective Altruism is complex. A lot of the things necessary for Effective Altruism, are not always as presentable as smiling children, building wells, vaccines, and so on, even though those are good.

  One reason why God loves a cheerful giver, is because you are given out of your heart. You're not giving because it's an obligation. You are doing it out of your own free will, even though you don't have to. It is a big test. The people are voluntarily given to something because they want to, then the person that exudes the characteristics of Christ

  If you know what you're doing works better, then you're more confident about it. In a sense that would help you to be more cheerful about giving One of the reason why people don't want to give, is because they feel like it is a waste of money, doesn't work, or it doesn't make a difference when they give

  timestamps and my notes (please watch video Rory's exact wording): 7:33 Too many charities (e.g. 15,000 charities alone working on prisons in England & Wales) ... Everyone has good intentions, but problem is implementation (in particular the extraordinary LACK OF IMPACT large sums of money can have) 9:45 visited hundreds and hundreds of developmental projects in 45 countries in 30 years 11:08 #1 of 5 = capacity building model 12:24 #2 of 5 = problem of vanity of the wealthy 16:59 #3 of 5 = vested interest of the charities 17:42 #4 of 5 = tax payers and voters have expectations 18:59 #5 of 5 = psychological barrier to cash we carry 21:00 extreme poverty improvements in China since 1980, but opposite in Africa 24:40 170 billion spent on extreme poverty by governments and UN, but don't have recipe for doing it 28:51 why not more outspoken about being Christian, because developing 30:48 impressions of EA is revolutionary ... Compare to current standards (e.g. 130 million dollar program MAY HAVE improved economic conditions of only 52 women) 33:09 dangerous to rely only on spreadsheets because can conceal things 37:18 EA is incredible discipline to subject international development to (compared to current standards, have seen multiple 3 million dollar programs with 0 impact) 38:11 what Christian EAs can do to be helpful 40:28 more skeptical of direct cash solving homelessness in UK/US 43:53 how to balance ambition with biblical view of human fragility? 45:52 thoughts on factory farming

  I found this conversation to be deeply moving and honest. I believe it to be very hard indeed to help the poor. I have always believed that other cultures deserved to respected but helped in a manner that left their culture in tact. I would never impose my views on others…as the best in the world. I would learn what is helpful to that particular culture and try and use modern and up to date measure if I could…but never force something! I am an atheist.

  I'm sorry. Rory is a nice chap who seems to be genuinely caring, unlike 90% of the rest of his former party of brigands, racists and cultists, but he's still depressingly naive, probably because of his ridiculously privileged life. Oh, and he's pro-fox hunting and thinks anyone who talks with an urban accent while not wearing a suit is a "minor gangster," so he can probably jog on back to his daddy's country pile and stay there.

  It is impossible to listen to this without profound respect and hopeful understanding! Even with the ray of sun across Rory's face... Maybe that was a spiritual light!

  I think Rory may swing too far in the other direction. How do we know the autonomy and dignity of cash work? The research on micro-loans is mixed. It may be one tool in the toolkit. I think he inclines a bit too far towards seeing it as a panacea because of his ideological commitments. We should trust it as a method insofar as it works. No further. The results are mixed so my trust in the method is mixed.

•

  You are correct, the impact of micro-loans is mixed. However, regarding unconditional cash transfers, there are over 72 randomised controlled trials studies. The results are overwhelmingly positive.
