On the one hand, optimal charity makes sense. On the other hand I think a world where people care a lot about different things is optimal.
@drethelin That was my intuition when I was wondering why portfolio theory didn't apply to charity.

@St_Rev impossible for me to know how much value I attach to zoos or museums each existing so we gain value by each having supporters. -
@drethelin Indirect implication, though, is that charity is incredibly inefficient because there's no information market. -
@St_Rev this is why we need to encourage markets for tiger blood. Nothing farmed is endangered. -
@drethelin@St_Rev don't trust anything you care about to a paperclip maximizer, even if he has plans for wringing paperclips out of it. -
@admittedlyhuman@drethelin I'm coming to believe that 'paperclip maximizer' is as much of an antithought as 'God'. -
@St_Rev@drethelin maybe I misunderstand. are you ok with factory farmed tigers? would that satisfy the moral value you place on tigerdom? -
@admittedlyhuman@drethelin a) Yes. b) I place no moral value on tigerdom. -
@St_Rev@drethelin well then I wasn't talking to you. I suspect that people who care about tigers would not be satisfied by tiger factories. - 3 more replies
