totally agree. philanthropy was once upon a time the only mechanism to align more primitive (red in tooth and claw) societies with evolving humanistic morality.

totally agree. philanthropy was once upon a time the only mechanism to align more primitive (red in tooth and claw) societies with evolving humanistic morality. we are now in 2021, or the "modern era" as we claim. we know for a fact that broad based welfare and individual economic freedoms can perfectly coexist in well regulated societies. philanthropy should become the exception, not the rule, practiced again by forward looking humanists that identify and remedy blind spots rather than being a crutch to a systemically broken system.
