McCaskill kind of pills this guy on effective altruism.

He frames it as a strategic investment whose success was measured in population's worth of human lives.

He estimated using back of the envelope math that $2,000 could save one life.

And so a million dollars could save 500 people.

A billion could save half a million.

And a trillion dollars could theoretically save half a billion lives.

Based on that totally legitimate math.

People are math, Robert.

People are math.

It all works out that way.

Based on that absolutely real math, the only ethical way for a genius like Sam to use his time and talents is to become the world's first trillionaire.

But right there, between a bright yellow sunshade and the crumb-strewn red brick floor, SBF's purpose in life was set.

He was going to get filthy rich for charity's sake.
