    I doubted whether it would be a good use of time to read Michael Lewis’s new book Going Infinite about Sam Bankman-Fried (hereafter SBF or Sam). What would I learn that I did not already know? Was Michael Lewis so far in the tank of SBF that the book was filled with nonsense and not to be trusted?

      The resulting book review is 28,776 words. It’s 71 pages long in 12 point Calibri with normal spacing.

        lol, guess I made a good choice to go ‘nah, not gonna read that’ and closing the tab. That is like 3 SSCs.

            It seems that SBF is a counterexample to the ideal that an intelligent person can master every domain. Maybe that’s why they are so mad.

              @gerikson RPGs have been putting intelligence on a different axis to wisdom since forever for a very good reason, but the SBFs of the world clearly never wondered why that is.
