Sam Bankman-Fried on impacting the lives of trillions of people not born yet

Ultimately, this scale of impact that you can have on the world is just really, really large.  I think the fact is you can impact way more people through your philanthropy, through how you give back, than you do in your everyday life.  That's what really sets it apart.  You can think about the thousands of people who you can help who are dying of diseases that no one should be dying of today.  There are millions of them, but a single person can potentially save thousands of their lives over the course of your career.  And that's a lot of lives to save.  And I think when you start thinking about the trillions of people who haven't been born yet, who are going to inherit this earth from us, the things that we do that sort of impact what it is exactly that we're passing down to them are just incredibly important and magnified way beyond the scope of almost anything else that we do.
