The fact that so many of them believe in that effective altruism nonsense shows why none of these people should ever be in control of such vast amounts of power and resources. They think they should have all the money and power because they're tech CEOs and have a maniacally unhinged confidence in their understanding of complex global societal issues / are straight-up lying because they're greedy, and the rest of us peons should just bow to their will.


Tech comapanies and CEOs are experts in the fine art of exploiting the prisoner's dilemma to quickly amass wealth at great societal expense, all within the system. I'm afraid the only way to solve this problem is a combination of educating society by making them more aware and taking tech companies down by mass public opposition / mob rule.
