Yes, but they’re less available. Maybe I triggered the wrong intuition with the word “resources.” I had in mind resources like the time and energy of intelligent people, not resources like money. I think it’s plausible to guess that time and energy spent on one altruistic cause really does funge directly against time and energy spent on others, e.g. because of good-deed-for-the-day effects.
