If effective altruists actually cared, they’d follow this advice.
Billions of people alive today (the majority of whom are women) are in the same situation today, with their potential unrealised through lack of access to education and resources to express themselves. Rather than adding to their numbers, or diverting yet more resources away from them, we ought to be focusing on making a world where everyone has a chance to be a great poet or inventor.
I still maintain that the most effective response to 9/11 should’ve been to engineer universal suffrage in the Middle East…
