When you convert “doing good” into money, and then decide people with less money do less good for the world and have less potential to do good for the world, you simply placed a good-bad ethical template onto the established systems and structures of things. Money = the good you can do. Very quickly, the good you can do becomes your instrumental worth in someone else’s pursuit of doing the most good.
See. Some people have claimed that they cannot respond substantively to the effective altruism movement. They claim that all they can write is snark without substance.
These people have clearly not read Nietzsche. (Understandable. I have also not read him)
