Or is ethics only something to preach to others, but to avoid when it impacts your own money?
To be clear, even ignoring that I’ve lost most of my net worth on FTX, I’ve donated 10-20% of my income since 2015, I was an unpaid volunteer for many months in 2017 and 2020, and relative to my past FAANG job, I took substantially greater than a 50% paycut because I think my current job is morally important enough. This isn’t much relative to the rest of this community; I’m sure many EAs made larger sacrifices to live in accordance with their ethical values. In many ways I fall short of my ethical ideals, but what have you done?
