Is this a thing we should be asking if someone who is an expert on Effective Altruism and economics and similar could have a go at answering?
You can ask, but why the answer would be anything else other than someone's personal opinion?
It's a straightforward question about personal values. Do you think it's a good idea to have experts in EA or economics tell you what your values should be?
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
