Thanks for putting this together! A few other considerations I didn't see in the article (correct me if I missed it):

Any organization [or system] is perfectly designed to get the results that it gets. 
—Arthur W. Jones, organizational design expert

So if you want different results, you must change the system. Expecting players to "be better" is not a viable path to lasting change.

Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.
—Clay Shirky

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
—Upton Sinclair

The fortunate man is seldom satisfied with the fact of being fortunate. Beyond this, he needs to know that he has a right to his good fortune. He wants to be convinced that he deserves it and—above all—that he deserves it in comparison with others. Good fortune thus wants to be legitimate fortune. [a.k.a. system justification theory]
—Max Weber

Veil of Ignorance (a.k.a. Original Position) — a philosophical concept by John Rawls, which suggests that individuals should design the principles of society without knowing their own personal circumstances, such as their gender, race, or social status. This thought experiment aims to promote fairness and impartiality in decision-making, encouraging the creation of just and equitable societal structures.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. [a.k.a. Social dominance orientation]
—Frank Wilhoit (composer from Ohio)

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

It’s easy to focus on or overweigh the negative things in the world. It could be argued that our bias towards “loss aversion” primes humans to be this way. So, effort and training are required to look at data in an unbiased way. Just because we see more reports of something doesn't mean those things are increasing. It could be a reporting bias.

If I could add one requirement to the education system, it would be critical thinking skills—especially the ability to learn and spot logical fallacies. I think this is a foundational reason why democracies are slipping back towards fascism.

The only part of the Beast empire that is 100% charitable is his Beast Philanthropy channel. I do recommend people subscribe and watch those videos. He started with local food banks and has quickly moved to (what looks to me like) fairly effective humanitarian aid in LMICs. Some of his main channel videos cover his humanitarian efforts. But I think they are essentially marketing for his Philanthropy.

I subscribe to Hank & John’s newsletter and replied with the info on the P4G conference. Probably was read by an intern, but at least someone in the org is aware.

I put 2 comments on that video that unfortunately haven't gotten many upvotes…

𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘃 𝗗𝗮𝘆—the day in which nuclear war didn't break out in 1983—is celebrated by some people (mostly nerds 🤓)

...

In the spirit of this video, all of these people should be known and celebrated: 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴, 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘇 𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗿 & 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗵, 𝗘𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗝𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿, 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗸, 𝗠𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗧𝘂 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿, 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻, 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗦𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝗔𝗯𝗲𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗹𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗵 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘃 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘃, 𝗩𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝗸𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗼𝘃

I think YouTube might be shadowbanning me for using UNICODE bold ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Of course they're going for the easy jokes. It's a comedy show. I'm glad EA is getting more widespread, mainstream exposure.

I think about it as 2 mechanisms for income: my effort or my investment's effort. I'm at the point now where my investments do 100% of the work for earning my income, leaving me 100% of my time to spend how I see fit. 

You can give more to effective causes sooner, at the cost of investing more effort for longer to keep the money coming in. Ultimately, how you want to give back, at what stage of life, and how much are all unique, personal choices.

Absolutely, make adjustments based on any personal values or beliefs. I consider this to be like many art forms. You need to learn and know the foundational basics before you can make good judgments on which parts to change or ignore.

In most instances, people invest with a portion of each paycheck; there is no lump sum available. If you do have a lump sum and want to invest it, go for it. I stand by it for withdrawals, though. You need to have a prudent cash reserve, and liquidating on a regular schedule is a good way to do this. Or just stop reinvesting interest and dividends.
