What Motivates Philanthropy?
I don't, I really don't see it as like a negative thing at all. A part of what motivates altruism is that yeah, you influence and power - not even in a necessarily negative connotation but that's definitely what motivates philanthropy. Andrew Carnegie being sort of the father of modern flamethrower in the US wrote these series of essays about wealth which were very influential. He sort of talks about this like moral obligation. And I think like really it was kind of this like quiet way for him to even though is ostensibly about sort of like giving back or helping lift up the next generation of people.
