- api 4y agoI’m sure he’s highly intelligent. I’ve met tons of absolutely brilliant idiots in my life. They’re like horrible drivers in really high performance cars.
- braingenious 4y agoWatching somebody make the stupidest available choice every time in every circumstance and concluding that I must be witnessing a genius; getting a tattoo of my idol: Wile E. Coyote, the ultimate master of cognition.
- danabrams 4y agoWile E. Coyote’s problem was that he was too smart for his own good. His plans were intricate and too clever-by-half, they needed weeks of planning and sophisticated, usually untested equipment.
- koolba 4y agoHaving your prey defy gravity while you plunge to your doom off a cliff doesn’t help either. I guess the SBF analogy would be something about other shitcoins staying afloat during a wider crash.
- ourmandave 4y agoTo be fair, most of his equipment was under recall before it even shipped from the Acme factory.
- braingenious 4y agoWile E. Coyote was a dumbass. That is the premise of the cartoon.
- CoastalCoder 4y agoW.E. Coyote was just ahead of his time. Imagine the YouTube revenue he'd get.
- Laaas 4y ago"stupidest available choice every time in every circumstance" yet was a billionaire? Sure.
- the_gastropod 4y agoIf the past ~6 years have taught us anything, it should be that billionaires are every bit as capable at stupidity as the rest of us.
- AlexandrB 4y agoFinancial success and intelligence are frequently orthogonal. Stephen Hawking vs Jake Paul: who was smarter - Hawking, who has more money - Paul.
- Sebb767 4y agoBut Hawking was far from poor and Jake Paul might not be as smart as Hawking, but he's a marketing genius. It's just a classic case of the tails coming apart [0]. Financial success and intelligence are definitely related and far from orthogonal.

- smcl 4y agoHe is smart enough to see that barring a miracle, he's heading to prison. He's naive if he thinks that all the bizarre actions he's taken after the collapse (interviews, tweet threads, substack posts, messaging a witness, you name it) will in any way help him, rather than help sink him. I don't know what this says about his intelligence overall. My guess is that he's an above-average intelligence guy who is in denial about how his future is outside his control, so he is frantically floundering in a futile attempt to regain control. I think I'd probably feel the same way in that situation, however I'd probably listen to people on my side (lawyers, parents ... or lawyer-parents) if they told me "shut up, stop talking, you're making everything worse"

- pictur 4y agoI find it really funny that everyone on this site takes every joke seriously and writes such long comments.

- smcl 4y ago"Lol I trolled you into writing a reply" is about as old as internet forums are and it never properly lands, but I’m glad you’re having fun online
- pictur 4y agoThis comment is not a troll comment. I just wanted to express my opinion on the subject. I know what we call a joke is as old as human history, thank you for reminding me
