Peter Singer, invited by the Grífols Foundation, has come to Barcelona to talk to us about the Effective Altruism Movement. A philosophy and social movement which applies evidence and reason to working out the most effective ways to improve the world. Not only helping, but helping others in the most effective way.
Henry Spira defines it best when he says: “I guess basically one wants to feel that one’s life has amounted to more than just consuming products and generating garbage. One likes to look back and think that one’s done the best one can to make this a better place for others. It’s not a sense of duty, but rather tis is what I want to do. I feel best when I am doing it well.
