About Eric

Eric Herboso: I'm the Executive Director at Effective Giving Quest, where we help gaming companies, streamers, and professionals help others the most through their donations. At heart, I’m a philosophy nerd intent on doing the most good. I'm veg*n, rationalist, skeptic, polyamorous, & asexual. This is a personal blog, where I write about random stuff I’m into: board games, hard sci-fi/ratfic, Nintendo, effective altruism, metaethics, & my personal life. I’m writing mostly for myself, not a general audience. YMMV.
