my point is that % of caring is not a coherent concept, or at least not the one that maps onto the intuitive notion of what % of your wealth you should donate.
specifically, suppose instead of there being 1e10 people, there were 1e100 people. i claim the % of your money you should donate should basically not change at all, even though the % of caring assigned to yourself has plummeted by a huge amount
