I listened to wondery’s multi part podcast “spellcaster” about sbf.
One of the most fascinating takeaways I had from that show was the fact that he used to play the game Diplomacy with a specific strategy: he would intentionally make alliances with other players, then stab them in the back. He would do this over and over. Why nobody figured this out, I don’t know.
So when I go back and view his actions through this lens, it makes perfect sense.
