You are deliberately ignoring the reality of it. It’s not “good” to do something when the opportunity cost you passed up is that X-hundred thousand preventable malaria deaths or waterborne parasite deaths occur.

It’s a luxury to blow $1 billion in donations to Cornell. That’s not humanitarian anything. That’s not charity. At best that’s gross negligence, at worst narcissistically relegating hundreds of thousands of people to preventable deaths.

We’re not talking about wasting a few thousand dollars on selfish consumption. This is egregiously wasting the better part of $8 billion. It’s gobsmacking, the scale of it.
