Yesterday I was reading an article about TESCREAL, the set of "progressive" beliefs so strongly held by tech entrepreneurs that it resembles a cult.
It mentioned the concept, in "effective altruism", that it's more efficient to earn as much money as possible, then donate it, than it is to do the work directly.
It occurred to me that I'd seen people argue that tech workers should stop trying to volunteer their skills to left groups, and instead just donate money. Similar argument.
