The Eight Levels of Charitable Giving (S1 EP13)

from The Life Of The Mind by Steven Pinker · host This Is 42

With an interesting look into charity and generosity as a whole, Steven Pinker refers to Moses Maimonedes’s theory on the eight rungs of generosity in this new episode.  Donating for a good cause is never a bad idea, but why is it important to assess the situation and understand the process? With common knowledge in human communication evolving with us, we are all aware of the need for transaction with everything we do. As such, a particularly charitable act could come with a hefty invisible price tag if you don’t read the room.  Join the conversation as Pinker helps us understand why the payoff to charity exists, and how we can think our way around it.
