Attached: 2 images I finally got hold of the government exhibit that SBF's lawyers worried prosecutors were using just to "show that he’s some sort of crazy person" https://mollywhite.net/storage/sbf-trial/GX-39A.pdf #FTX #SBF #crypto #cryptocurrency

Rationalist check-list:

  1. Incorrect use of analogy? Check.
  2. Pseudoscientific nonsense used to make your point seem more profound? Check.
  3. Tortured use of probability estimates? Check.
  4. Over-long description of a point that could just have easily been made in 1 sentence? Check.

This email by SBF is basically one big malapropism.

      it’s like the negative thoughts I have whenever I convince myself I’m not cutout to create my own business. I’m sure I’d be a self-indulgent weirdo like that.

        I’m sure I’d be a self-indulgent weirdo like that.

        Hey, don’t talk about my acquaintance from the niche internet forum that criticises other niche internet forums that way.

        More seriously, I hope those thoughts aren’t holding you back. I’d like to think that by being in sneerclub you are inoculated from transforming into the specific kind of self-indulgent weirdo on display here.
