Are we trying to maximize profit or utility loss?
What legal ways of making a profit are the most anti-altruistic, the most damaging to society, the opposite of effective altruism in result.
There has to be a profit, but we’re maximizing utility loss.
Ok:
Step 1) double your money using an efficient business (or a hedge fund or whatever).
Step 2) leave a dollar of profit and spend the rest of your gains to do TEH EVILZ.
Efficient misanthropy :)
I believe the question is about things that are currently being done, not potential ways to legally maximize utility loss.
