About Event

To what degree is preferential treatment of beings in our immediate surrounding justifiable morally? How much should we care for future beings? Do we have moral obligations towards animals or even artificial systems?

These questions are directly relevant for doing good, since charities in such areas can be as much as 100x more effective than the default.

Sound interesting? Join our reading group this Tuesday, the reading list is just below!

  1. The Drowning Child and the Expanding Circle — EA Forum 

  2. Radical empathy

  3. The importance of future generations 

(Be sure to read the comments at the bottom of the articles if you want to see discussion and disagreements!)
