Tom Stuart talks about honest abstractions in A Lever for the Mind.

I've pledged to give 10% of my income to highly effective charities working to improve animal welfare. If my startup is successful, I hope to give away much more.
Also founded EA Work Club, a job board for effective altruists,
and Let's Fund, a crowdfunding site for high-risk,
high-reward social impact projects.
