In order to be able to communicate about malaria from a fundraising perspective, it would be amazing if there would be a documentary about malaria. Personal compelling stories that anyone can relate to. Not about the science behind the disease, as that wouldn't work probably.
Just like "An inconvenient truth", but then around Malaria.
I am truly baffled I can't find anything close to what I was hoping would exist already.
Anyone knows why this is? Or am I googling wrong?
Thank you for writing and doing this. It moved me to read how putting cold calculations next to your warm personal connection with them is inhumanly strange and absurd.
To me it means that I discovered a new priviledge of living in a rich country. Where we can abstract donating behaviour from the decision process of who gets the help.
I kind of look at the EA-principles as a good way of sharpening my intuitions of impact in a far away country. But for you its different: as a medical professional, your intuition of where the most good can be done will be spot on, in comparison to me atleast.
While it's interesting to see the calculations, I would think it's more healthy in your context to stick to your medical intuition in combination to how likely is it that this person will die if you don't help financially.
I don't know who DeBoer is, but I enjoyed reading about why being weird is practically inevitable even from a historical perspective if you really want to do good. Thanks!
