> It’s just SBF, his family (his mother, father and brother are all in town) and close friends. A small team dedicated to fixing the world—via the magic of quantitative reasoning and the overwhelming force of goodwill. (...) It’s not worth the salt in one’s tears to be sad for the plight of the oligarchy—but there is a downside to billions. Reciprocity becomes difficult between the post-economic and the merely civilian. What do you give a man who has everything and wants for nothing? What do you expect to get? But within the inner circle at Apartment V—a community of family and friends united by a philosophy that’s almost Pythagorean in its rule—there’s no unit of account. Love is the currency. Love is infinite. And infinity is a problem.
This reads like satire. It's amazing anyone would write this seriously. Money does really rot the mind; not just the money you have, or the money you don't have, but also simply being in the presence of money.

- quantified 4y agoThere are so many ridiculous sentences and passages in that article. It's not worth the cheese in our navels to tally them all, though they do not approach infinity in any way. I wonder why it took more than a day to remove from their site.
