As I listened to this short meditation I wondered how adherents of the practical philosophy they call Effective Altruism would respond. What would @willmacaskill say about the perspective of @caitoz here?
The question came to mind in light of the newly published book by Will Macaskill, a philosopher described by Bill Gates as βa data nerd after my own heartβ.

The original influential philosopher to support the applied idea of Effective Altruism is Peter Singer, and heβs a big fan of Bill Gates.

A top-rated charity aiming to enact Effective Altruism is GiveDirectly, which has the enthusiastic support of EBay billionaire Pierre Omidyar in promoting cashless cash transfers.

The founders of GiveDirectly also founded Segovia Tech, the business that GiveDirectly pays to provide the API needed for cashless cash to reach the βunbankedβ in Africa and also in USA.
