    EA works on the hypothesis that in order to assist the most people, they have to amass as much money as possible in order to create mega altruistic ™ projects which will assist done nebulous future generations of trillions, whilst ignoring the fact that helping everybody right now will be a greater benefit by increasing the likelihood that there will be people in the future to assist.

    TLDR; Ultra-rich idiots trying to justify their greed by saying it’s for the benefit of humanity.
