The preference maps and what is meant by Effective Altruism are interesting to study and contemplate. With my post here I d like to offer an additional perspective that may complement the 8 forms of capital very well.
To me, I d prefer to focus on a well-balanced preference map, because I feel like all 8 forms of capital are equally important to make my life and the life of others truly better. Based on the samples it would mean that each type of capital could be no less than ~ 60 and no more than ~70 to achieve balance.
In addition… I’d zoom out a little bit and ask:
-
Given Grants 2.0 what is the bigger change we intend to facilitate? From where … to where … do we want to move?
-
What could be meant when we intended to focus on “regenerative decision making” and therefore doing good better in this context?
One answer may be this: I would look into these scales based on developmental frameworks or Levels of Consciousness. In essence, there is several of these frameworks out there and they all converge to very similar developmental stages and tiers. Only their authors, naming and colours differentiate. Spiral Dynamics by Beck/Cowan based on Graves’ work, Ken Wilber and Robert Kegan… just to name a few.
So, my personal opinion would be:
YES, I think I would be doing good better if 30% or more of the projects I were to found would contribute to help more people like us make the move from the 1st Tier to the 2nd Tier.
That is from orange/green to yellow/teal colours according to Spiral Dynamics (… which is fortunately mentioned in GreenPilled 
on page 75 )
According to several studies by Loevinger or Wilber the population of the 1st tier make up roughly 85%.
This idea, that “regeneration” can also be seen and understood as an increase in the Level of Consciousness of the population would change Quadratic Funding in a way that may look like this
-
Current: Number of contributors matters more than amount funded .
-
Future: Number of contributors multiplied by Regenerative Factor matters more than amount funded.
I hope I was able to explain this very abstract idea and make it understandable.
Thanks for the inspiration to think about this, connect the dots and come up with this work.
