If they couldn’t afford more, then they already made a mistake in donating their maximum to the first arbitrary opportunity presented.
if I understand you correctly, your position is: unless a person is able to donate more money to save more birds, it is a mistake to donate anything at all.
so a little old lady who has $60 to spare gives it to a wildlife charity, but according to you that is a human brain error because she doesn’t have another sixty bucks to spare. interesting, if true.
I think the problem is that you are trying to say too much and have ended up with a post that says nothing of any value. your first and third paragraphs are demonstrably false, which is why I ignored them. in the second paragraph you literally said: “If they couldn’t afford more, then they already made a mistake.” I don’t see that as being susceptible to nuance.
I… don’t think that’s the way discourse works here on LessWrong. Take this as your first moderator warning, if you continue posting and commenting at this level of quality, you will be banned.

thank you.
No, that’s not my position. Read it again and see if there’s a nuanced view that better fits my words.
I have already replied once but my post seems to have been deleted so I will try again.
I am unable to detect any nuance in your post. perhaps it would be simpler if you were to explicitly say exactly what you mean.
thank you.
