James Norris: Overcoming Childhood Struggle, Effective Altruism & Adapting to Different Cultures - E136

James Norris on overcoming childhood struggle, effective altruism as a frame, and the work of adapting to different cultures with humility.

"When the person in the ring who’s fighting, I respect them enormously because I know how hard it is and not enough people are aware of that challenge for them and they don’t necessarily care because you know they’re rich or they’re successful or whatever. So, like you’re not going to empathize as much but I’ve worked with folks who are deeply depressed and highly effective and and there’s that duality of self that people don’t want to pay full attention to. So, I try not to judge. There’s no real point of it, just encourage and support everyone on their path, no matter what it is.- James Norris" - James Norris
