“[O]ur moral obligation is not to live out a set of values that we like to see — it’s to improve life for others as much as we possibly can. This is what Effective Altruism has to offer — a rigorous, tough minded approach to doing good that isn’t content with aspiration.”

— Scott T. Weathers, Effective Altruism: The Biggest Impact We Can Make (Medium, December 22, 2015)
