My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Truth is stranger than fiction and reality TV stars know this better than anyone. But what you may not know about them or even believe is actually criminal behavior.

I'm Kayla Miller keys and on my new podcast true crime reality, I will be joined by reality TV stars as they dive deep into the details of the crime they have a direct connection to listen to true crime reality on the I Heart Radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey everybody, Robert Evans here and I wanted to let you know this is a compilation episode. So every episode of the week that just happened is here in one convenient and with somewhat less ads package for you to listen to in a long stretch.

If you want, if you've been listening to the episodes every day this week, there's going to be nothing new here for you, but you can make your own decisions.

It could happen here is the podcast that you're listening to. I'm Robert Evans, the person that you're listening to and one of the people who does this podcast boy, what a what a glorious introduction that was.

Let me also introduce some human beings who you might know first we have Chris and we have James are our correspondence in the field joining us today also is James's Spanish Civil War, eros and the gaunt.

Yep, that's right. Yeah, I'm very happy to join us. It's going to make contributions throughout the yeah, yeah, the episode.

And it's about to it's about to kick off. Yeah, this one now, which it might be it might be two in the L column for the most in the gun. Yeah, it's it's it's had a it served a mixed bag.

Yeah, anyway, we're recording this the day of the elections. So everybody's having a horrible one.

Yeah, I'm having a fire. Yeah, yeah, I did. I'm still hoping my my tech nine comes in before Oregon votes on its next ballot measure. Anyway, today I wanted to talk a little bit about something that I've been thinking about kind of constantly, which is

called effective altruism and it's the short end of this is that like it is a style of thinking about charitable giving that Elon Musk in particular has recently highlighted is like how he thinks about things it's very popular with the billionaire set who are who are deeply invested in getting people to think that they're saving the world right.

The folks who want to be seen as like looking ahead and and and set protecting the future of mankind and saving the world.

But not doing it through things like paying, you know, more taxes and supporting, you know, less money being in politics and all that kind of jazz like not not anything that would would actually harm their their personal ability to exercise power.

So it's gotten kind of attacked recently because it's associated with guys like musk and because he is markedly less popular now than he was let's say 10 years ago.
