I doubt the first arrow, and the direction of subsequent ones. More like tech billionaires > effective “altruism”… > tax evasion…
That’s interesting, as that would be the arrow I feel most confidently about. EA grew pretty explicitly out of Singer’s Giving Pledge and Giving What We Can book, and Will MacAskill’s (his student) networking with finance and tech bros. (That isn’t to say the tech bros weren’t just exploiting the idea for their own benefit.)
The rest of the arrows, I agree, it seems plausible to me but I have no hard evidence
I need Peter Griffin to explain this one
That’s Philip Seymour Hoffman, honey.
