Lifetime Impact Pledge
1/15/25 Update: I made this pledge around 1998 in honor of my mother. We lost her to cancer the following year. This was a tragedy that could have and should have been avoided.
I pledge my entire life to doing as much good as possible. In practice, this means I will work in the field of social or environmental change until there is no more need to do so or I become unable to do so. This means I will dedicate as much of my discretionary time into doing as much good as possible without burning myself out while still retaining >10% of my time for myself only.
I pledge >90% of my total lifetime financial assets to doing as much good possible. In practice, this means that after I reach personal financial security at least 90% of all additional capital I receive will be donated or invested to whatever I think will create the most amount of good for all.
