William MacAskill is a moral philosopher and the cofounder of the Effective Altruism Movement, a school of thought that tries to answer the question: How can we do as much good as possible? Chris and Will talk about how to use evidence to figure out how to help solve the world’s most pressing problems efficiently. Then, they discuss why focusing our efforts on some issues over others is both a compelling philosophical question — and a complex project to scale up.

I really enjoyed this series, it is uplifting and kind, and helps getting rid of the paralysis I feel when thinking on the overwhelming scale of the problems our generation and future generations face and need to solve. I love how you give me rational, believable arguments and thoughts on how I can make a difference that is meaningful, impactful difference. I am sharing this post as I feel it is what the world needs more of. Thank you Chris Anderson!
