> traditional investor who made billions on successful gambles, or arbitrage, or creating liquidity, then gave virtually all of it away to effective charities, would seem, on net, way ahead of most of us morally.

- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoIt amazes me that otherwise smart people take this argument so seriously. If I'm a dirty doctor selling fentanyl to addicts, but I donate 50% of my income to Narcotics Anonymous, am I moral? Like a child can understand this doesn't make any sense, but people turn themselves into intellectual pretzels to rationalize this as virtue.
