‪if when you suggest an order O2 good, people push back and say it’s not good, it’s probably order O1‬

‪if when you suggest an order O3 good, ‬people point out systemic incentives leading it to be hard to do, it’s probably order O2

‪if when you suggest an order O4 good, someone comes up with a ridiculous unrealistic contrived example in which it could be “okay” not to do, it’s probably order O3

order 1 obvious good: you recognise it as good

order 2 obvious good: above + your friends recognise it as good

order 3 obvious good: above + many other people are doing it

order 4 obvious good: above + you have no possible reason not to do it

The four core reasons I’m summarising as:
- it’s too unconventional (/I don’t trust it/I’ll look uncool)
- other donors are too misaligned (/my money will be wasted/they’ll think I’m wasting their money)
- there are better giving opportunities elsewhere
- one wouldn’t give to the donor lottery anyway (/not an EA/haven’t heard of donor lotteries)
