    Effective altruism is so funny. A bunch of rich dumbfucks jerking each other off about how being selfish and hoarding wealth is actually selfless and altruistic.

    Just own your parasitic nature, fuckfaces. Just be honest about how you don’t give a shit about anyone else and wanna use your billions to fuck kids on Epstein island. Stop deluding yourself and pretending like what you’re doing serves anyone but your own pathetic asses.

      It’s a sleek grift, too: it doesn’t need to pay out now, or in anyone’s measurable lifetimes. They talk about magical cyber-ascendants billions of years from now.

        I don’t even think it’s a grift, really. I don’t think its primary purpose is to convince others to give them money. I think its primary purpose is cope, not to lie to others but to lie to themselves. People who want to have their cake and eat it too on an emotional level, who can’t resist the temptation of wealth and power and want to silence their own morality. It’s a group of people who want to assure primarily each other that what they’re doing is actually totally righteous.

    Hmm, could I read this for some catharsis? I feel like I know different versions of this guy in my personal life.

    EDIT: Also, first thing that I thought of

      So do I. They didn’t get as rich, but it was all there, from the “eugenics, and by that I mean my superior genes, will improve the future of humanity” ideology to the cryptobro grifting to the staggeringly inflated sense of self-importance that reached self-deification.

      he managed to hurt rich people so he’ll always be good in my book.

      sure the damage he did was next infinitesimally small and non-enduring to the rich; but you have to take whatever victories you can get no matter how small because that’s all you’re going to get when it comes to the rich. lol
