I believe the guy hires two people, who alternate editing. One recently left to start their own channel and did a video a bout. I assume he hired another to replace her. (fortunately from her video It seems he's the opposite of an rear end in a top hat to work for)

SBF loaned himself billions from the hedge fund he founded and used it to 'donate' to local police, among others. Generally speaking, dudes from Palo Alto are banned from bribing foreigners, but stealing money to pay off local law enforcement in furtherance of an ongoing fraud is a classic crime move

drk posted:Generally speaking, dudes from Palo Alto are banned from bribing foreigners Well, in theory. You just can't bribe them directly anymore. So what you do is you hire a local facilitator that's familiar with local bureaucracy to help make sure all your forms are filled out and given to the right people to keep your project moving along. This local consultant is of course very expensive and what happens with that giant sack of cash you paid the consultant is none of your company's or government regulator's concern.

I had to take mandatory company training on how to identify, find this person, and then, never said verbally but very strongly implied, forget how to ask questions.

There certainly are some choice quotes in that thread, including how Kamil insists that the way to reduce violent crime in US cities is to "allow a mafia to emerge" and the statement that "non-violent environments are abnormal," i.e. some sort of weird-rear end belief that in the "real world" you get hunted with spears and guns. Human-on-human violence is the abnormality created by lovely environments, not humans just coexisting peacefully, unless you have a truly busted-brain perception of humanity. I think I would take like 99% of statements by this Kamil person with a basketball-sized chunk of salt.

which do you suppose is a cheaper way to get someone's crypto passwords from them: build a fake prison to keep them in until they crack, or take a $5 pair of pliers to their nuts the pliers are going to pay for themselves a whole lot quicker, i think

PHILO 100 TA: "let me ask of you, do you lock your doors at night? Do you hide your crypto behind SHA256 encryption in a birdbath?"

There's two separate ideas that are being conflated: 1) the idea that violence defines interpersonal relationships and 2) the idea that violence defines inter-group relationships. The 2nd proposition is pretty much undisputed, and a lot of Randbrained people use that as an argument that the 1st proposition must be true as well. But anthropological evidence indicates that people tended to take care of their own, which undermines the 1st idea. Paleolithic corpses routinely get dug up of people that lived for decades with debilitating injuries or even congenital defects that would have made them a considerable burden to take care of, but they still got to live to a ripe old age (at least by paleolithic standards) and don't bear obvious markers of further trauma. This doesn't mean that early humans didn't come into violent conflict between groups (anthropologists dig up other remains that testify to that), but it does demonstrate a high degree of cooperation existed within groups without being a weakness that left them vulnerable to violence from outsiders (or these remains would be much younger and be marked with violent deaths.) I assume this is what PurpleXVI is getting at; violence has been part of our natures from the start, but not to the insane dog-eat-dog levels projected by libertarians.

Pretty much, I feel like unless there's a truly hosed culture, or various societal/economic pressures cranked up to extremes("I gotta mug you or I can't pay for my insulin, sorry"), people are generally wired to not enjoy and seek out violence against others. If the absence of cops and laws made people instantly snap into "kill and eat other people"-mode, then we wouldn't ever have made it past the first guy to invent a pointy stick. Though I do also feel like the perspective of "violence defines inter-group relationships" very easily turns into some "there can never be a compromise solution with outsiders, we are designed to kill and murder the different"-excuse for grim and misanthropic worldviews. Part of why I tend to glance askance at anyone who confidently states that "humans are tribal creatures!" because it usually comes as an introduction to attempting to excuse their own bigotry or why we shouldn't try to have a more progressive society.

people thought crypto might go up in value and chose to park some money in coinz™️ sbf has the trappings of being a schlubby non-threatening rich person’s kid involved in that TECH™️ stuff we’ve heard about money people recognized sbf as being a member of their privileged class (one of the dumpy weak ones dependent on mom and dad’s money), which was reassuring because hey thats our in on this whole TECH™️ thing, we can trust him he is just like my nerdy son/daughter/nephew who I control with money sbf given billions of dollars: takes drugs, jerks off in the corner, eats SHRIMP™️, steals money, gives billions to girl who let him feel her up at band camp, does not at any point attempt to earn profit actual economy hiccups a bit and money people unpark some of their coinz™️ back into money money asked where the money is, sbf shrugs, asks for SHRIMP™️, twitches druggily *curb your enthusiasm theme*
