I am very happy to see this post and the subsequent dialogue. I’ve been talking with some people at Giving What We Can about volunteering (beginning in June) to do statistical work for them in trying to find effective ways to quantify and assess the impact of charitable giving specifically to organizations that work on mitigating existential risks. I hope to incorporate a lot of what is discussed here into my future work.
