I precommit to upvoting and saying positive things about anyone who comments saying they’ve donated. Hopefully tha will move at least some people to the positive side of the akrasia/altruism balance.
Three months ago, I set up a recurring unrestricted donation to GiveWell for one-twelfth of a dead child per month. Using the previous GiveWell cost estimate for the Against Malaria Foundation ($1600 per child life saved), this turned out to be ~$150 per month. Following the appreciation of the dead child to the US dollar (GiveWell’s new estimate for AMF is $2300 per life saved), I will now donate $200 per month.
I also set up a recurring unrestricted donation to GiveWell for the first time, for what turns out to be ~13% of my net income. This is posted in agreement with FiftyTwo’s rationale, not as a signal.
