Square Artist

We pay homage to Jean Rochefort, who passed away Monday 9th October 2017, with this episode of Square Artiste. We had given him carte blanche to film whatever he wanted, and he led us on a meandering, introspective path between reality and fiction.

Before, it was simple: there was selfishness or altruism. Either we got rich or we helped others. But now these binary divisions are fading. A supporter of effective altruism, the young philosopher William MacAskill proposes to go even further with "arithmetic altruism". This is, applying the concept of profitability to charitable contributions.
