Why? It's still bad. He still isn't taking societal input on whether the projects he invests his money into are actually the most wise and sound investments to help the future of all living humans. It's a distinction without a difference.

Why does he need society's input? Last I checked, charities didn't ask society at large, they just get funding from the people who care. Am I wrong to go to the park to pick up litter without asking society at large if that's the best use of my time?

We don't need to have everything go through a committee. If he wants to do a good thing, that's awesome.

That wooshing sound you hear is the point going over your head.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

No, I'm explicitly rejecting your point.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

It can be both, you're rejecting it because you fail to understand it. Dude, in a rationally organized world we wouldn't need fucking charities, because things would just be funded by reasonable tax structures and governments that care more about taking care of their own people instead of bombing foreign nations. Why would we need charities if things were funded well enough as it is? You're deliberately missing the point.

Careful about worshipping at the altar rationality, it is as prone as any god to leading people astray.

No, they addressed your point.

There isn't even a mechanism by which to get input from all of society for any single action to benefit humanity.
