For me, this ruined his legacy.
- newacctjhro 7y agoI mean. He wanted to rebuild a forest. That's pretty ambitious but he needed money. Some evil company gave him money. Why should he refuse? Do you think that, in order to avoid giving Vale some PR, it would be better to refuse the money? And presumably have trouble rebuilding the forest.
- basementcat 7y agoLots of ambitious people in a certain laboratory at a research Institute needed money. Some convicted sex offender gave them money. Why should they refuse?
- bemeurer 7y agoI feel like the difference is that Vale actively destroys forests, and Salgado wanted to rebuild a forest, the damage and the good are related. Epstein and Media Lab don't share that same relation.
