Effective altruism is called "taxation" in my country. It's been an ongoing success for a 1000 years.

Taxes are used for building roads, not curing malaria. It's so odd how angry people get when someone tries to help others.

Oh boy, do I have news for you about how malaria was eradicated in Europe https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8277918/

The 'Black' part of this article's title seems a little weird

I agree: I don’t see how it’s relevant to what she did, what happened subsequently, or her current situation.

If this were reported in the UK I doubt her skin colour would have been mentioned at all due to its irrelevance.

As does the focus on her wedding. Yeah she defrauded investors for millions and spent the money. She isn't going to jail over the specifics of her spending, but the first part.

The specifics of the spending do matter. If she had spent the money within the company context, even on things that are personally lavish (eg private jet), it would have been harder to make the case for outright criminal fraud.

The federal government was instrumental in eradicating malaria from the United States: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Malaria_Eradication...

> It's so odd how angry people get when someone tries to help others.

That's an odd description, given that the anger is because "effective altruism" is seen as neither effective at helping others nor honest about altruistic motives.

>educational friend designed to help students reach their limitless potential Limitless is BS, it’s better to know your limits.

Limits are fuzzy and situational things though, so whatever you think you know is likely to be either incorrect or self-fufilling.

Despite manifold evidence that they are. See the sbf case. They get implicated for being recipients of donations from a fraudster. That's not a serious demonstration that they aren't altruistic and don't care about helping others.

How very altruistic, eradicating malaria in one's own country. With that headstart, surely they must have finished curing it worldwide by now.
