*sigh*

This comment is pretty disheartening to see. A lot of this is inaccurate, but I'll only reply to a few key things as I'm not sure this will be the healthiest or best use of my time:

1. I'm not sure why you think Social Change Lab is "just a website". We're an org with 3 employees (2 of which started today hence not on the website yet) but we're also a registered non-profit in the UK via Companies house.
2. The point about me not being an EA is particularly bizarre, given that I literally just wrote a piece on my personal blog defending EA. 
3. Producing extremely long articles...yes that is culmination of various research projects! We also have short pieces, and pretty clear summaries. Would you rather we take donations and not do any work? Other orgs produce long reports, so not sure why ours are so much worse!
4. The other claims are mainly ad-hominems about my supposed bad intentions, so I'll leave those be. For those that know me, or have interacted with me in various ways, I'm sure it's pretty clear that "earning great status and power" etc is not my main goal.

FWIW there's a reason I left doing social movement organising - it's because I was sceptical of it's effectiveness! If I was so sold it was the right thing to do, I would be trying to get funding for that, rather than funding for research to figure out if it's actually overall helpful or harmful.

I think you need to provide a lot more substance behind the claims you've made here.

If you think the problem is the quality of research, my suggestion is to give James some feedback, or to publish some substantive pushbacks of his work.

If you think his intentions are in question, then I'd appreciate documentation of this or at least some indication of the strength of evidence you have but can't share so third parties know this isn't just some vibe you're getting.

I didn't downvote, but if someone thought your claims were far too strong for the evidence provided and thought it represented a degradation of epistemic norms on the forum, or was unnecessarily unkind, it could be a good enough reason for a downvote. (At time of writing it has -4 karma over 4 votes, but +1 agreement vote over 3 votes)

Social Change Lab (the non-profit I run) has a matched-funding opportunity where the next $50,000 we receive will be matched by an anonymous donor. It's looking very likely we won't meet this in the allotted time period (until January) so this will likely be a counterfactual donating opportunity. You can donate via Giving What We Can if you're interested! 

Partial Identification, rest assured I downvoted because your comment is low quality

Update: the Double Up Drive donation matching is no longer available. 

Donations to Animal Charity Evalutators, Hellen Keller International, and StrongMinds are still being matched. 

For Canadian donors, donations to GiveDirectly are being matched to at least 50%.

Thank you for arranging this list!
