I am not sure if there is a more effective method of spreading the knowledge however. If it was all dumped at once very few people would be able to absorb it and understand it in a timely fashion and many would probably give up and move on

A note: 6 x 6 = 40 I was taught to read 40 at 4.0 * 10^1 which has two sig figs. 4 * 10^1 would have 1 sig fig. I can not a web reference which uses 40 as a one sig fig notation with only a few minutes time. You might want to add to your

It would be rather awesome if all or most of that money was going to one of the top three charities at give well. Enough so that would significantly change my understanding of Goldman Sachs and make me revaluate similar companies.
