even the crypto guys hate EA now. "MacAskill’s continued presence at Oxford, in particular, is a nasty, dripping blemish on the face of the entire field of academic philosophy."

i’ve been following these fucks since 2010 and i don’t think even i’d go in that hard

I probably would agree with you, but that’s maybe because of my exposure to academic philosophy and think it is seriously overrated as an engine of original thinking.

LOL coindesk have lots of reasons to try to separate themselves from EA and EA lots of reasons to separate from SBF and make him look like an isolated villain instead of a whole field of crooks. It’s almost like they make some statement for their desk drawer to be able to pull out later when things go awry and say “see we knew this was wrong all the time”?. For being altruists, and effective ones at that, there sure is a lot of self interest going on here.

David Z. Morris is particularly pissed off at these criminal bozos.
