The Fuckinomics Guy Is Full of Shit
The only thing I'll disagree with you on Chris is I don't think he's an idiot. I think he's very intelligent. He recognizes that there's a specific type of person and engineers and programmers are very likely to be this type of person who kind of fundamentally like their oppositional defiant. And if you can provide no way to like feel like they're enlightened and smart by doing it, then they'll take the opposite stance. That's what the freakinomics guy does. This approach amounts to little more than charitable imperialism,. whereby my just causes just and yours to one degree or another is a waste of precious resources.This approach is not informed giving.
