      [She] ran Stanford Effective Altruism during college.

      That made my eyes twitch. For some reason - she has a Wikipedia page: Kelsey Piper. She must have made it herself.

      At Stanford she became a member of Giving What We Can, pledging to donate 30% of her lifetime income to charity.

      What is that crap for somebody in her position? The page doesn't mention her background or who her parents are. I call bullshit.

      Yup.

      This seems to be her daddy...

          At first I wondered if Vox did this intentionally - like an editor gave it to her because her dad is directly involved in oil and gas. The editor hoped people would find out because controversy generates engagement and page views.

          But then I had a different thought. How many Vox writers are ghouls and have no principles? It's probably close to 100% if not 100%. Maybe the article was her idea, she pitched it to an editor, they liked it, and then she wrote the article and - oops - she entirely forgot to mention her conflict of interest.

          Can you imagine if Vox did that for every article?

          "The Military industrial Complex Is Good Actually" is written by Mike Neo-Lib son of Evily Neo-Lib the founder and CEO of Evil Military Enterprises. Mike Neo-Lib is giving 30% of his income to charity but it must be said that his father gifted him $27 million dollars on his 21 first birthday.

        Holy shit, I usually cringe at people being like "EVERYBODY SPAM THIS" but right now I'll jump on the grenade and be that guy, everybody spam this

          I often google ghouls out of curiosity and I get nowhere.

          But this was painfully simple. I couldn't believe she had a Wikipedia page and the "30% of her lifetime income to charity" text minus any mention of her parents screamed that not only was she a ghoul but she was a super ghoul. And then it took ~3 minutes for me to figure out who her dad was.

          “sacrifice everything to the robot god of the future, and by everything, we mean the poor.”

          They never hesitate and they are always so very brave to make such sacrifices.

        Always this compassionate capitalist shit with: "I'll donate my income!" "I am a good billionaire, I take a 0 dollar salary!" "Income tax on the 1% should be higher!"

        motherfucker I don't want your income, I want your wealth! I want those juicy means of production you've been hiding from me, I want collective ownership of capital!

          Also, weasel words.

          Based on the internet sleuthing others here have done, her family is loaded and she's probably got a trust fund already and/or a seven figure inheritance lined up. So her journalist "income" is just folding money, and she's only giving a portion of that. Ask her if she's giving 30% of her trust fund or inheritance, and watch her spin...

          Also the "$0 salary" thing is a smokescreen , like, of course you'd opt to pay no taxes on your income if you could live off the interest on your interest-bearing assets, do they take us for fools? (Yes)

        She didn't write the page, the page is mostly authored by a weird ass tech bro, which Wikipedia has several.

      Basically a whole article to convince people that everything is fine so she doesn't have to feel guilt over her generational wealth created through destroying the future.
