EA Thinking

OFTW and the effective giving movement are part of a larger school of thought known as "Effective Altruism." Effective altruism seeks to answer the question, "how can I do the most good?" Within EA, global health and development is just one of several primary "cause areas," or areas in which research and resources should be allocated in order to maximize the good that can be achieved by its members. Other cause areas include animal welfare and long-term existential risk. The videos below are a good introduction to some of the key ideas in EA, as well as some of the key thought leaders.
