Effective egoism (sometimes informally called selfish effective altruism) applies the logic and tools of effective altruism (EA) — evidence-based reasoning, expected-value calculations, and cost–benefit analysis — but redirects them toward maximizing one’s own well-being, success, or satisfaction, rather than others’.
The best way to predict the future, is to create it.
Does anyone donate or invest targeted money to causes or speculative medical technology companies that might affect you personally in decades time period?
Something like Presbyopia, that is weakening of eyes so you need reading glasses or take off your short sighted glasses? Dementia? Cancer?
For example, I'm not sure about you but presbyopia is actually less than a decade away. There is this budding technology called intraocular lenses that can also accommodate or focus to short distances using the same ciliary muscles for the native human lens. Would you invest in this company for potential return or reduction in costs so that you don't hve to wear glasses and have better vision?
Please note I don't have skin or money in the game with this, just highly interested.
You can't create the future…
You can only create the present…
