What is EA?

"Doing the most good possible, guided by reason, science, and compassion."

Effective altruism is a field of inquiry and a social movement that explores the best ways to help others.

Its aim is to identify which of the world's problems are most pressing, to develop the most effective solutions to those priority problems, and to encourage individuals to take responsibility for putting those solutions into action.

To determine which problems are the largest, most neglected, and most solvable, it draws on scientific evidence and rational reasoning.

This way, we can direct our limited resources toward creating the greatest possible positive impact.

EA Principles

Evidence and reason

We draw on scientific thinking and data to understand which solutions actually work.

Scale and neglectedness

We focus on problems that are large, solvable, and still under-addressed.

Scout mindset

We aim to find the truth, not to defend our current views. Updating beliefs in light of new evidence is a sign of intellectual honesty, not weakness.

Measurability

We care that the actions we take are measurable and can be evaluated with concrete data.
