This is an engaging intro to effective altruism. The statement "The goal is finding the best way to help, rather than just working to make any difference at all" really grabbed my attention.

"But there should be great shame in letting more people suffer and die than you need to because you can’t look past your own feelings. This is the kind of narrow empathy that Paul Bloom is against". This statement has got me thinking... I really need an effective mindset. 

Thank you, EA, this introduction has really grabbed my attention and set the stage for what is to come! I am looking forward to finding best ways to do good and put them into practice.
