“Advising billionaires on how to give away their money and encourage them to give more is definitely not where I saw my life going.”
That’s William MacAskill (Oxford), quoted in a New York Times article about his influence on the philanthropy of the very wealthy. He adds: “If I can help encourage people who do have enormous resources to not buy yachts and instead put that money toward pandemic preparedness and A.I. safety and bed nets and animal welfare that’s just like a really good thing to do.”
