Do you actually think my reading is unreasonable?
Somehow I think Hans Rosling would use a different phrase than "for fun and profit." The phrase "for fun and profit" heavily connotes economic profit. Especially coming from Taleb, and especially on HN.
But sure, if I take the less common meaning of profit (a benefit) then yes there is nothing selfish about this quote.
Edit: Furthermore, this post is about worthless crypto currencies and exploiting the ignorant.
