Question

Rationality is good but charity is better. describe

Answer 1

From the standpoint of effective altruism, the problem behind a lot of charitable giving is that individuals often make donations without doing much analysis. They simply think the best of charities that interest them and accept at face value that these charities are doing a terrific job. Accountability is never considered.

To address this problem, GiveWell, a nonprofit organization dedicated to effective altruism, has been evaluating whether charities are solving important problems in a cost-effective manner.
