There are always heartbreaking problems & conflicts in the world. Most of them are none of our business, and we're not positioned to do more good than harm. Only a few problems represent the highest and best use of our limited resources, and we should do those things. #ethics

Is it really that common to not be able to do more good than harm? That seems like a very low bar for someone with an evidence-based approach. Like surely you could at least pull off a 51% chance of doing net good.
IMHO it's a lot easier to do good when we're not intervening in existing conflicts between highly polarized opponents. Reducing factory farming seems more likely to result in a low-cost win than trying to nation-build in regions torn by conflict.
