Hi All. I’ve known about effective altruism for quite a while and it’s helped me a lot. Mostly found out about it after a breakup I had and improved how I viewed the world to be more objective and rational. I found this video and was wondering if anyone else had it. I think it raises some points but that it also has a lot of flaws which shouldn’t be overlooked. I commented on my criticisms. Know they’re are definitely more academic and sophisticated responses to this topic but think it’s approachable and also gives insight into how people who are very much outside the community think.
In my opinion it’s ludicrous narrativizing. Sam had no incentive to do what he did he was just winging it and defrauding people and lying about everything. He’s going to jail now.
There’s no brilliant billionaire manipulation scheme he’s just some asshole who was using a charity / philanthropic movement as cover.
He’s Medoff giving to Jewish charities so that rich Jewish charity donors will trust him with their investments. Video woman is saying that refutes Jewish philanthropy somehow. Like the way to pursue the interests of Jewish philanthropy was to steal a bunch of Jews’ money and put it into a ponzi scheme and then burn it down and blow everything up, because that’s just what those sort of people would do.
It’s a ludicrous left-wing narrative to slander rich people. Slander rich people all you want, but do it for better reasons.
