I am still convinced that the most effective altruism is [[Entrepreneurship|entrepreneurship]], build the future and make everyone [[Wealth|wealth]]y, not donating wasted money, making a product useful, that people want. Build a billion dollar company that make the life of everyone easier, more peaceful, give the world more freedom for more important matters.
## Removing [[Alchohol]] from culture
- Alcohol reduces [[Philosophy/Rationality/Intelligence|intelligence]]
- It is a massive commercial success

Solutions
How to get rid of this cultural harm?
- medias, movies, tv-shows, all actors have a glass of alcohol plugged to their hand.
- Showing that it is unnecessary for social comfort
- Less harmful alternative
