Or to take um another example, think of the
current effective altruism movement, people like uh Peter Singer and there are others.
Now
it's yes, it is big outside of the academy.
Now, I think oftentimes, you know, giving to charity is a good thing.
There are all kinds of causes that are worth supporting.
And if you are going to support a charitable cause, it's I think morally obligatory on you to think about, well, what is my money actually accomplishing?
So when you think about effective altruism as opposed to indiscriminate charity, I think uh some of what they're advocating for is good.
And some of the organizations that rate.
different charities are it's a good thing that those have been added to the world.
But if you think about the kind of moral propaganda that goes around with it, if you watch Singer's talks on this, right?
There's the idea that a life led for yourself
has got to be a um this on some kind of hedonistic rat race or treadmill.
It's this idea you also find in Compt that when you're doing something for yourself, it's an alternation between feverish, you know, desire satisfaction of some momentary lust and um torpor.
Right.
You get this same idea.
Um, that that's what a selfish life would be like.
And then the alternative that we're given to that is to serve other people.
To minister to the needs of others.
Not so that they could do something more, but presumably they're meant to be ministering to the needs of others in turn and so forth.
