Matt🔸 @spacedoutmatt.bsky.social · 09/01/2026My review of Death in a Shallow Pond: A Philosopher, A Drowning Child, and Strangers in Need by @davidedmonds100.bsky.social. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent history of Effective Altruism within, but had mixed feelings about the philosophy-focused second half of the book! 160

Matt🔸 @spacedoutmatt.bsky.social · 13/04/2025Anyone have takes on Alice is Missing? We played for the first time last night and found it to be a pretty interesting/unique experience, but also found it harder than we expected to tie up the story in a coherent way 030
Matt🔸 @spacedoutmatt.bsky.social · 23/03/2025My review of An Introduction to Utilitarianism: From Theory to Practice by Richard Chappell, Darius Meissner, and Will MacAskill. I thought it was fantastic! 3120
Matt🔸 @spacedoutmatt.bsky.social · 25/01/2025What should I do with the ~2 dozen SWP fliers I have left over from the shrimp mall video? 120
Matt🔸 @spacedoutmatt.bsky.social · 04/01/2025Thank you so much to everyone who donated! In the end we raised $32.8k, or about 1% of AWF's total donations for 2024. Based on the historical cost-effectiveness of AWF's grants, I expect the money will greatly benefit the lives of hundreds of thousands of farmed animals! 071

Matt🔸 @spacedoutmatt.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I've finally taken the @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social 10% pledge, backdated to when I first started giving in 2019! I'm a huge believer in the power of effective giving to improve the world, and I think the pledge is a great tool for both committing and spreading the word! 3171

Matt🔸 @spacedoutmatt.bsky.social · 23/11/2024I really loved the 80k podcast episode with Sarah Eustis-Guthrie on the Maternal Health Initiative! Here are three examples from it that show why I think that EA isn't just common sense/business as usual: 1113
