"Psychological barriers to effective altruism: An evolutionary perspective" ... reading, discussion, perusing some of the cited work
I read "Psychological barriers to effective altruism: An evolutionary perspective" by Bastian Jaeger and Mark van Vugt
This is relevant to my own related synthesis project "Increasing effective charitable giving: The puzzle, what we know, what we need to know next", a web-book in progress.
The paper an interesting perspective and a good take. I'm a bit skeptical of the strength of some of the empirical evidence and the way results are stated in Psych papers and syntheses.
I read some of the cited evidence, and go off on copious tangents.
If you read the paper at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352250X21001779 and install the https://hypothes.is/ plugin, you can interact with my comments within the paper itself.
