I'm pretty sure the Effective Altruism school of thought is rather popular in today's grand halls.
One lens into Effective Altruism might suggest that the best path to a good outcome is to gather as much power and wealth in the hands of the elect as possible, and at the right moment, they'll use it efficiently to achieve the best outcome.
Exact definitions of 'the elect', 'the right moment', 'efficiently', and 'the best outcome' are left as an exercise for us readers, but it matters very little what conclusions we make, because we are functionally outside the light-cone of these events. We just get to watch.

- the_doctah 3y agoEffective Altruism has already become a joke of a buzz phrase because of SBF. SV culture becomes meme in warp speed.
- kiba 3y agoBit of a strawman isn't it? Donate ten percent of your income now, and increase it as you go up in income is what I seen from some effective altruists. If you don't save people right now, you might actually save less people in the long run.
