Alright I’ll take the bait, what kinda cunt am I? 😅 It’s just an idea that some bad actors (like Sam Bankman Fried) have run amok with, doesn’t discredit the idea itself.
What’s wrong with applying your skillset in the free market and then donating a percentage of your salaries to vetted, highly effective charities in lieu of directly working for those same or other charities where your skillset may not be as helpful as straight up cash?
In my view it’s simply a more empirical approach to donating your money to worthwhile causes, sure as shit does more good than the status quo where most affluent people just hoard their money and avoid paying taxes as best they can. I think of it as an opt in tax where a certain percentage of one’s income can be earmarked towards doing the optimal amount of good it can in the world current and future. For a long time one of the most effective charities according to give well has been sourcing malaria nets in Africa, not really the far futurism this article is criticising.
Oh don’t get me wrong I went into the movie fully aware of that, but still, it was so much worse than I expected!
I find myself compelled to cast my thoughts into the void of the internet, hoping to hear some echoes back in the form of scathing remarks that capture the absolute vapidity of this horrendous shitshow, this lamentable waste of time, manpower and bandwidth.
Just “wow”, I’m at a loss of words for how bad this movie is. I’ve watched some bad movies, and almost always at least enjoyed a scene, a one liner, a concept, but maaaaaan, it’s so bad you can’t even laugh.
Please, someone, just tear this “film” a new one so that I feel I’m not alone in my sheer hatred of this incohesive collection of not even cutting room floor worthy scenes.

This, plus something is better than nothing! Also nobody's saying we can't do anything else later. Nothing wrong with taking something tried and tested to get the ball rolling
Thank you! Lol, my first thought was "what was that song again", fitting meme for lemmy as it reflects the original "wild-west" feeling of the internet in a way
