i think both questions have to deal with the same thing
both have to do with little effort/money you have to spend to do something at a small cost to yourself that makes a big difference in someonee elses life

It’s still cope though

HE LITERALLY WRITES IN THE ESSAY ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULD DONATE ALL YOUR MONEY UNTIL THE MARGINAL UTILITY LOST FROM DONATING WOULD BE MORE THAN THE MARGINAL UTILITY THEY WOULD GAIN FROM YOUR MONEY. AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT LIKE WAR REFUGEES SO. YOU’D HAVE TO MAKE YOURSELF VERY DESTITUTE TO HIT THAT POINT. HE’S NOT DESTITUTE. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH BOZO

do you think you could follow your logic but, like, partially? like instead of donating all your money to charity (obviously very impractical), you could donate 10% of your income to charity? (or if you don’t make enough to donate 10%, pick some other smaller number that you could actually do)
