They thought it wasn’t going to paying me $180K. Correctly. +1 epistemic point to everyone who expressed surprise at this nonfact, −1 point for hindsight bias to anyone who claimed not to be shocked by it.
Fair enough. I assumed that most of the money would be going on salary, so if an organisation with a small staff had a large income, it’d be paying high salaries. It’s one reason (of many) I’ve never donated.
So I’ve just made a $10 donation, partly to punish myself for my own biases, and partly to make some restitution for acting on those biases in a way which might have seemed insulting.
Where did you think the money was going?!
