As I understand it, EA is about deployment of money, not effort. You accumulate massive money, ostensibly in order to fund things of interest. There is a built-in assumption that other people (labor) will actually perform whatever work you're interested in funding. You don't go build things or heal people, you accumulate wealth and buy from someone the building or the healing.
