Merriam-Webster defines “effective” Tools to answer the question as “producing a decided, decisive or desired effect.” Altruism is defined as “unselfish regard for or devotion to “The cause that you choose to work on is a big factor the welfare of others.” It might seem silly to put the word in how much good you can do. If you choose a cause“effective” in front of “altruism” and call it something new – but thisphilosophy and social movement is new, and it is necessary.

Its introduction – EffectiveAltruism.orgpage states: “Effective altruism is a research field which uses high-qualityevidence and careful reasoning to work out how to help othersas much as possible. It is also a community of people takingthese answers seriously, focusing their efforts on the mostpromising solutions to the world's most pressing problems.” There are two lines of thought here – first, not all forms ofdoing good are equally effective – and second, it’s important tochoose the problems we devote our personal time and energyto not just based on personal preference or experience but onwhich are most pressing, least addressed and have the greatestchance of being solved. Based on these parameters, the EffectiveAltruism.org staffcurrently focuses on the following three areas: Fighting extremepoverty, fighting animal suffering and improving the long-termfuture, specifically in regard to monitoring the safe developmentof artificial intelligence.
