If I were taking an ethics class, I‘d be delighted to see an SBF guest lecture. In ethics, you can learn as much from negative examples as positive ones.

- dragonwriter 3y ago> In ethics, you can learn as much from negative examples as positive ones. Can you learn as much from examples that are self-promoting (in the universe where the cause of cancellation did not occur) or responsibility-deflecting (in the universe whwre the cause occurred, but for some reason the lecture occurred anyway) lies, though?
- colechristensen 3y agoIf you were really concerned with ethics you would want to be directly exposed to this kind of thing and then discuss it. Especially if it wasn’t entirely clear what was wrong ethically and why. Like analyzing Hitler and Gandhi or whatever your extremes of choice are arent all that interesting or valuable in this context.
- maxbond 3y agoI think Standford may do these somewhat regularly. I enjoyed this lecture from Aaron Beam, who was involved in the HealthSouth fraud and served time for it. You might be interested as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_K7bQpDJzg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_K7bQpDJzg [1 hour] However, Beam seems like someone who got caught up in a criminal enterprise and has the perspective to own what he did. SBF seems like a permanent grifter (but here's to hoping he has the capacity to grow and can turn that around), I don't think he has the constitution to give a useful lecture on ethics. I think SBF will take any opportunity to disclaim responsibility, and it would be just as vacillating and useless other appearances. Also, Beam already served his time and was at liberty to speak freely. Even if SBF had something interesting to say, he couldn't.
