<div class="content"><p>If you still don&rsquo;t know what&rsquo;s &ldquo;effective altruism&rdquo;, you are lucky. They called it a &ldquo;philosophy&rdquo; and even a &ldquo;social movement&rdquo;. And it became so popular, mainly in Sillicon Valley, that the richest persons of the world started to believe - and others started to believe them - that it&rsquo;s simply enough to earn a lot of money and distribute it to &ldquo;good causes&rdquo; in an utalitarian manner in order to make the world a better place. Although they preach decentralization (the wet dream of crypto), it was - of course - them (the richest) who in the end decided, in a completely centralized way, who deserved part of the cake. We could have seen a proof of how successful that ideology was in winter 2022 with the crypto-crash when under the mask of &ldquo;effective altruism&rdquo; its true core was revealed - ineffective capitalism. Instead of following another wolf in sheep&rsquo;s clothing, we believe in the construction of insfrastructures of care that don&rsquo;t sell the hope of saving the world. We&rsquo;re starting from seemingly small steps and we are walking slow, because - unlike &ldquo;effective altruism&rdquo; - we are heading far and really care about the future. To hell with effective altruism!</p>
