Our resources are limited, so we have to use them wisely.

Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement focused on answering one question: How can we best help others?

In this Part 1 of 2 episodes Sandy Forbes Taylor and I explore what effective altruism is. And consider two principles of altruism:

1. Using evidence and reason to find the most promising causes to work on.
2. Taking action, by using our time and money to do the most good we can.
