Shame on you, edw519. Where does he infer that Mr. Grass had such intent? Your inference that Hanson would prefer to denigrate rather than elucidate is speculative and insulting. Better you should forsake your sacred horse of generous people are beyond reproach and 'STFU'.
Hanson mentions "folks like Alex trying to 'do good'", and that his proposed alternative of funding innovation "wouldn't have looked so good for Mr. Grass". He notes that Mr. Grass "[showed] loyalty to his clan", but parents also show unfortunate baby dribbling, whether they like to or not. Even the quoted line fails to show whether Mr. Grass is of the former or latter group.
Hanson laments the social structures that promote and reward "looking good" in lieu of "doing good", implying that someone with the goal of "doing good" may accidentally "look good" instead.
- edw519 17y agoWhere does he infer that Mr. Grass had such intent? Did you actually read the article, req2? If you had, you would have noticed among other insults: But when folks like Alex spend their later years trying to "do good" with the millions they were paid for actually doing good, they usually end up pissing it away. Pretty explicit to me. It's stunning that OP, or anyone else for that matter, would question the motives of those giving charity. His total lack of class completely overshadows any other message he may have had. What you said to me was either a personal insult or a bad joke. Doesn't matter. Either way, this conversation is over.
- req2 17y agoLook at that sentence. It says he tried to do good, not that he tried to look good. This is in direct contradiction to your claim. It's pretty stunning to me that you would think any motives are beyond reproach. Your reverence for men who do nominally good things is the very thing Hanson is trying to limit in preference of actually good things.
