My research in recent years has focused on effective altruism, and in particular the question of why most people are not more effective when helping others. Lucius Caviola and I have recently compiled this research in a book, Effective Altruism and the Human Mind: The Clash Between Impact and Intuition (Oxford University Press, Open Access).
Other areas of interest include critical thinking and the practical application of utilitarianism. I am employed at Effective Altruism Sverige.
