A few angles worth weighing. The "they'll do it anyway" framing is real but doesn't fully neutralize the call — your capital still flows in and adds liquidity, even if marginally. The harder question is what counts as "for good": if returns funnel into local mutual aid, infrastructure, or buying out a worker co-op, the math holds. If it just funds lifestyle creep, the ethical premise dissolves.

Pragmatic move: pre-commit a fixed percentage off the top to the "good" before any return ever lands as personal money. Otherwise that allocation tends to quietly shrink.
