I'm genuinely amazed that there was still $200 million in crypto to steal. Or is this a case where it's "$200 million".

I know what you mean. There's still fools waiting to be parted? I though this process was supposed to be quick.

Knowing a lot about ethics and doing bad things aren't mutually exclusive! If you want to consistently do bad things, you need to be able to identify what things are good and what things are bad.

Fats Dominar is on the case


someone who reaches the point where they are a “professor of ethics” is someone who treats ethics as a game totally divorced from morals. if ethics is just a set of rules then a smart enough person can game those rules and be “ethical” while being utterly evil and selfish and that’s just what “effective altruism” is.

To argue that a lack of free will means that punishment is not useful is merely an excuse to avoid punishment. You could easily say the opposite. If one lacks free will, then their choices are strictly determined by their environment, and a robust and harsh system of punishment would be a necessary part of the environment to dissuade free will-less beings from committing crimes.

I found this a compelling argument.

There's business school 'professors of ethics' that are strictly about 'what does the SEC when they say 'engaged in an ethical manner'?', and there are philosophy department 'professors of ethics' which actually cares about the social and cultural underpinnings of 'ethical'.

You can guess which one she'll end up being.
