I think his point was a fairly critical “money is the unit of actually caring”. Donating your clothes or some soup kitchen time is the thing you do if you want to feel good about yourself. But if you actually care about getting shit done, money is the unit of how much of that you did.
This may or may not be fair, and may or may not be a useful framing to consider whether it’s fair or not.

Ah! This puts everything into a sensible context—thank you.
I’d like to have a conversation on said fairness sometime; maybe I’ll make a thread about it.
