eep! I deeply apologize that my remarks have caused you pain. I am skeptical of EA, and especially the more … tenuous causal and ethical calculations that are sometimes used to justify non-obvious charities. But I deeply respect and appreciate everyone who is thinking and acting with the intent to make the world better rather than worse, and my disbelief in the granularity of calculation is tiny and unimportant compared to my belief that individuals who want to make a difference can do so.
Also, I cry at the drop of a hat, so if you start I’m definitely joining you out of both shame and sympathy.
Ok, thank you, this helps a lot and I feel better after reading this, and if I do start crying in a minute it’ll be because you’re being very nice and not because I’m sad. So, um, thanks. :)
