The effective altruist comment just got me interested in effective altruism. I’ve seen the term thrown about, but I never bothered to look it up. Extrapolating from just the joke, I may be an effective altruist. Thanks for getting me interested in something I should have checked ages ago and for reminding me to look things up as I don’t know them instead of just assuming I got the “gist of the passage.”

Awesome. PM me if you want to talk more about effective altruism. (I’m currently staffing the EA Summit, so I may not reply swiftly.)
Yet another instance of comedy saving the world.
