They said they would do it again, right? All that can happen is it goes to zero. So you go from one to zero, eh, who cares, right? You go from one to infinity, even that outweighs a lot of one to zeros. So they were at least honest by saying we'd do this again. Now there is some, I believe, shareholder action.

So this is the rare case where there could be additional liability, but probably not too bad. But the other part of it is if you become successful in any different field, relatively young, you can notice how people change around you. And I'm sure it's true in Hollywood, but it's also true in the nerdier occupations, right?

So effective altruism originally kind of meant what it sounded like, which is how can we find more effective ways to give money to charity?

Save a life for 5,000 bucks instead of the $10 million we put on the average. You know, government agencies actually put a value on human life based on how people behave in the U.S., which is 10 million. So that mindset, though, becomes quite fraught. Even though I think it's right, you're putting a value now on different things. So that already is a little bit fraught.

What is the value of donating to the symphony, for example? Like a little bit harder to quantify. Okay, or we can start to ask some other questions. Well, effective altruists mostly believe in animal welfare, which I see as a good thing. But how much are we trading the welfare of different animals against each other?

One example given in the book is that there was a puppy, a poodle, who got stuck in the New York City subway system a few years ago. And should we stop the entire F train to rescue Dakota? And they decide to stop the F train. But like, you wouldn't do that for a squirrel. You'd run over the fucking squirrel or like a cat probably gets run over.
