It's just capitalism and econ101 duct-taped and stapled to utilitarianism. Jeremy Bentham is crying.

It's for psychopath tech bros who've got spiders in their brainz.

For example, imagine a myopic billionaire who imagines himself "saving" humanity. If his contributions happen to cause suffering to people alive today, so what? He's saving "trillions" of people, just in the future. Obviously this means that of all people alive, this billionaire is the only one who really matters. Certainly not Ukrainians who die because he turned off their battlefield communication.... hypothetically.
