EA and BankmaniFried receive your criticism for trying to do good. Is it really the case that other billionaires who earn their money say selling cigarettes, or helping old ladies gamble their life savings away, or selling vaping kits to children, and spend their ill-begotten gains on expensive champagne and private jets, are somehow better because they are morally consistent?

What about my comment made you think I’d be okay with any of those things?

I think you missed the point about consistency: I was trying to say that EA, minus the recent tangent, has my appreciation for its consistency. Consistency on its own isn’t a moral virtue, but it is a sign of earnestness. And I like it when people are earnest.

I presumed your comment about consistency was regarding the fact that on the one hand EA has at its core applied utilitarian ethics, but on the other hand the greatest source of EA funding is from an apparent charlatan.

Of course I don't think you find other dubious money making activities to be acceptable. I was pointing out that consistency is not a very useful moral yardstick. But since you don't seem to be claiming it as such with your clarification, my comment was unnecessary.
