Who are you?

Who are you?
- eddtries 3y agoSomeone who used to be vocal on EA Forums & was around for a couple years. I got less involved for other reasons after the whole SBF stuff.
- morelisp 3y agoSo I got "guy who posted on forum" on one side and William MacAskill and Nick Beckstead (and, well, SBF himself - he left CEA voluntarily right?) on the other - which of these would you say has the institutional support?
- eddtries 3y agoWill was slow to come out against SBF sure, but the majority of people were asking why he was being silent WAY before the arrest. Are you involved in anyway, out of interest? As in, were you there or are you going off of media reports? I don't know many people involved in EA who'd say it was institutionally pro SBF, just that a couple people were silent too long. Interesting if there are some.
- morelisp 3y agoI have no connection to CEA or SBF, I'm just someone who's desperate to recover moral philosophy from financialization by wannabe tech bros. Edit for reply: > around October/November 2022 i.e. after the run and it's clear he's going to be arrested... Usual EA bullshit. > Nice moving goal posts :) This isn't the gotcha you think it is. The relevant time is the ~4y period from 2018 to 2022 while he was running an obvious fraud and totally insane, not the few weeks between the run, collapse, and formal arrest. If you think he only looked bad from late 2022, that's just more proof you EAs are dumb as rocks.
