Question: Effective altruists, on average, donate significantly more money than is accepted in society. Some of them feel they have a moral duty to alleviate the suffering of others through donations unless those donations would bring a comparable level of suffering to themselves. This is their formula.

How much do you think a person should donate? Is there any criterion?

Answer: No, there are no criteria. I think some reasonable limit is necessary so that a person does not suddenly begin to get carried away by absurd ideas and sacrifice for such things that will show their inconsistency, if not today, then tomorrow.

Question: Should we give everything that comes to us so that we simply level ourselves out?

Answer: No, not in any case! If we begin to give away what we have earned and deserve, we will turn into the same beggars with an outstretched hand as those who expect alms from us. Therefore, I think this approach is wrong.
