    “Effective Altruism”

    Such a vulgarly euphemistic term for what that asshole actually did, akin to calling torture “enhanced interrogation techniques”.

      Effective Altruism is harmful even without this asshole. For one, it’s very naïve to assume that these billionaires are going to just give away their wealth for greater good. Second, it encourages the methods that create wealth inequality to generate the said wealth. Finally, it just allows these cutthroats to assuage the prick of their conscience and the sharpness of criticisms against them.
