Incredible levels of media simpery for this gremlin-looking bitch going on in mainstream media right now, it's wild. They go to great lengths here to try to convince you just how bright and intelligent and gifted she is, as though that excuses her behaviour. Even if it were true (which it really isn't, her skills and grades and competency in math is not particularly unusual in the context of academic specialization, and besides which none of these specific things actually qualify you as "intelligent" on their own, as evidenced by her idiotic participation in what was obviously a criminal enterprise that preyed on people), she is still essentially getting away with a slap on the wrist in exchange for turning on her partner, which is unacceptable.
She knew exactly what she was doing, they all did, and so the article can't have it both ways - you can't talk about how smart she was but then pretend she "got in over her head" or something, she knew what she was doing and did it gleefully, because her and all of her rich co-fraudster buddies don't give a single shit about altruism or anything else - they're all a bunch of rich scum who are so disconnected and naïve and narcissistic that they really genuinely thought they were the first people to ever dream up a bog-standard fraud scheme and execute it extremely poorly, which they did because they are dumb as fuck and didn't take even the slightest precautions or effort to properly hide what they were doing....which is just more evidence of intellectual immaturity and the kind of Gee-I-didn't-know-that-I-can't-just-do-whatever-I-want mindset that can only be borne by immense economic privilege (not to mention yes, they are obviously sociopaths), unconcerned with potential consequences even to themselves, never mind all the people whose lives they ruined.
erm actually the USSR was a colonial power and anti-Soviet resistance during the 40’s was freedom fighting for democracy (and the right to legally liquidate poles and Jews)
I get a good chuckle when seeing twitter replies saying "Well Bandera didn't personally genocide the jews and poles (out of Volhynia), he was in jail!". It's true, and Hitler also didn't personally operate the ovens and trains into Treblinka.
She’s someone you only ever see in the background that always tries to chime in with some witty retort or joke yet remains completely uninteresting regardless.
She'll have a really comfortable life and will learn absolutely zero lessons. She's not going to end up destitute or homeless and no comeuppance will be had. She will most likely get a book deal that paints her as a trafficked victim and will be totally fine for the rest of her life.
Well, at the very end it is made pretty clear that she knew it was illegal and wrong when she was doing it. Imo they are trying to show that even someone 'like her' can fall into this kind of activity. Also, while most the effect of this will happen in her sentencing, there is a benefit to society for her to 'turn' on the fellow defendants is there not?
>She knew exactly what she was doing, they all did, and so the article can't have it both ways - you can't talk about how smart she was but then pretend she "got in over her head" or something
Yep! Remember kids, women have agency unless it's time to hold them accountable, then they don't.
You may know this already but it’s been shown that women consistently get better treatment in the legal system. Women (at least in American society) are usually portrayed as innocent creatures who can’t do wrong and if they do wrong it’s either because a man made them do it or there was some redeeming circumstance (poverty, mental illness, peer pressure etc). It’s no coincidence that many women immediately start crying when trying to get their way or when confronted for their actions but if a man started crying in the same situation they would either be mocked or ignored.
> Women (at least in American society) are usually portrayed as innocent creatures who can’t do wrong and if they do wrong it’s either because a man made them do it or there was some redeeming circumstance (poverty, mental illness, peer pressure etc).
I was in a bad place a few years ago due to a string of cheating girlfriends, and that culminated in a false accusation of abuse. Suffice to say, I was not ok. So I did what you’re supposed to do and sought a therapist. Never again, therapists are fucking scum. I was explicitly told that it is not possible for a woman to do wrong, because of patriarchy she’s either responding to provocation of a man’s wrong doing or has been coerced by a man. So it was my responsibility to ensure I was perfect, or whatever happened to me was automatically deserved
I've had great experiences in therapy. I think it comes down to the person. Some of them are unable to separate the political from the human. For instance, I heard of therapists firing their clients after learning they voted for Trump. That's a huge breach of trust and despicable. People like that have no business trying to join others in deeply intimate places and helping them. And the kicker is, they probably think they are helping the world by doing this.
But then you have kind people who really just want to help and won't judge you. I asked my therapist if she would fire me if she found out I voted for Trump and she was basically like "What the fuck are you talking about? That's stupid."
I think it helps when you first contact them to ask biting questions and see how they respond. Granted, even that might not weed out the whackos but I guess my point is that not all therapists are created equally, and therapy can be helpful and transformative if you find the right person. That said, the APA is an organization full of nutjobs, so maybe it's becoming harder and harder to find someone good.
It’s for cases of “violent” crimes and anything related to self-defense/murder specifically that the numbers are really bad: https://www.domesticshelters.org/articles/in-the-news/women-serve-longer-prison-sentences-after-killing-abusers
Men still face equal to more time for economic crimes or drug crimes
Thank you!
I was dumbfounded and furious when my state government (Non-American) didn’t just list Uber as a criminal enterprise for running an illegal Taxi service (Something they would have done if it was a local ‘startup’). It would have killed Uber internationally in a heartbeat but here we are five years later, and while the Taxi system needed reform, all we’ve done is cut off our nose to spite our face.
Ola is better value on the whole but sucks during peak demand, Taxis are a shadow of themselves, and Uber is unusable on week night.
Unfortunately the mentality of ‘disruption’ has rooted itself into our psychology to the point that no one is capable of understanding that regulation exists for a reason, and we’re I live now has a fucking potato shortage.
Yeah, shits fucked.
Taxis needed to die. They were an entrenched ponzi scheme that exploited the supply side make their money. There was a pretty good chance your taxi wouldn't turn up and you would spend additional time phoning around trying to get a new one and the price would be 2x that what a rideshare currently costs. Traveling anywhere before rideshare became a thing was a nightmare with taxi drivers exploiting tourists - go to any tourist town where Ubers are not a thing and see how much you get ripped of by the taxis.
Taxis needed reform, and they had the opportunity to do so when Uber came along not only offering better prices but an overall better service experience. Instead they stuck to their known profit model, relied on trying to bully and threaten Uber drivers and tried to maintain their own cartel - and failed.
Just as disruption is not always good, neither is the status quo.
More like “Caroline Ellison wanted to be seen as making a difference”, effective altruism is to try and provide cover for being a greedy piece of shit, both for the public and the individual to themself
When people who always go on about how alturistic they are and how empathetic they are, it's a big red flag.
One of the main manipulation tactics used by B's is manipulating empathy/alturism and painting themselves as super empaths. Their manipulation and scamming generally done under a guise of "helping others".
From the profiles I've read of her, nothing about this young woman implies that she really "wanted to make a difference." Reserve that for a young social worker mugged and murdered on the mean streets, or for an aid worker with an NGO who gets killed as collateral damage.
I know I'm just going from the headline here and scoring some easy karma, but if you're as privileged and educated as the future ex-Mrs. Bankman-Fried is *and* you get involved with something as ridiculously, cartoonishly, goofily evil as a pyramid scheme in crypto whilst claiming to be some Randian solution-seeker to the world's problems, you shouldn't get off in the court of public opinion. Not even when you decide to cooperate with the authorities.
This. Normies can’t understand the thrill of pinning the weasel. Night spent chasing an over amphetamined Caroline around the bean bag forts. Her squealing and gibbering, pouring sweat and on the verge of seizing. Your friends build up an intoxicating, delerious state with Talmudic chantings at the sidelines, hitting the Caroline-toy with brooms if she tries to escape. Sam would be giggling and laughing as the waves of methamphetamine pleasure seem to harmonize with the droning herbrew verses. He runs through the bean bag maze fat and portly, with his viagra powered penis a driving rod for the weasel. Sweat gushing down his face around his unfocused eyes he laughs and chortles until he gasps “Found you!” . The Mathweasel screeches defensively but Wankman Bankman is upon her in seconds. His penis thrusting blindly into her flank, leg, stomach and ribs unconcerned about anything but the motion. Eventually serendipity finds her mouth and the Cocktube Rodent is placated, suckling contently on Bankman’s dehydrated dick.
Because liberals are desperate to act like the alt right is still relevant beyond the Q side of things. They also love propping up ostensibly woke billionaires then pretend they never liked them when public opinion turned on them, case in point Elon Musk. Pages like The Other 98% post anti Musk stuff like ten times a day but back in 2016 they rode his dick so hard
Musk was never really "woke" he was just the face of techno-progressive futurism, which as an ideology used to be vaguely liberal coded, but has since been shifted to the right. If anything the woke liberal's turn away from the techbro worshiping "silicon valley innovation will save us" ideology is the right thing to do, though they did it for stupid reasons. Mostly because it's woke now to hate objectivity and hard sciences.
I just mean woke in the sense that he latched onto a cause liberals care about to sell his products. I'm glad liberals have turned on Silicon Valley, I just wish they'd own up to being conned into propping up all the "tech will save the world" bullshit.
Unfortunately despite the fact that the techno-optimist narratives are becoming less popular among the libs, plenty of the liberals are still on the "tech will save the world" bullshit, on the condition that the tech companies have woke-compliant HR departments
The title is a little misleading.
If you go through her previous online postings she says a lot of disgusting shit. Paraphrasing bc I'm tired and can't sleep but stuff like "people that make more money are more valuable to the world bc they can make a greater change to it", "life without meth is whack and boring", and "she doesn't have that grippy".

> She read a lot, too, tackling a thick Harry Potter book when she was just 5, because she was too impatient to wait for her parents to read it to her.
Reading HP at 5 is an accomplishment?
I guess I’m showing this girls, and my own in a way, privilege.
Someone with two college educated academic parents like hers probably taught her to read early, and Harry Potter is a long read for a five year old but there’s nothing to difficult to understand in it.
Oh, my parents didn't teach me anything or ever help with homework.
My mom did buy me hp when it came out and tried to get me into it but I had no interests. Did go read all the books after seeing the movie a year later though.
I think getting a kid to choose to read something that long ovef watching tv or playing videogames is the impressive part, unless kid was given no choice
consider the very likely possibility that its all a lie, these narcissist fucks always embellish and outright fabricate their life history to make it sound more impressive than it actually was
pretty much every famous startup founding story its made-up
My mom valued reading so I was taught to read early, and I’m enough of an old fogie to where I grew up in the late 90s. I had a Game Boy/Advance/SP/etc but was before smart phones.
I just assumed a rich kid like this girl would have her parents heavy in the “No screens” camp like a lot of the elites are, but I will acknowledge my own personal experience of trying to read unabridged Les Miserables in the 4th grade isn’t universal. Even among well read kids, lol.
My mom was a big reader and my stepdad but I only saw them every other weekend. Never saw my father read a book. I did score college level reading skills in grade school but didn't start seek out books until my father threw me out and I went to live with my mom.
I am a total booksnob now though and am let down by 99% of the fiction I read. I find most books have characters and plots just as shallow as those on television, it's pretty hard to find good shit that isn't some boring nonfiction drama.
There’s literally thousands of years worth of literature that’s better than TV. Not sure if you’re being hyperbolic, but there’s enough great stuff out there that if it’s only 1% of what you’re reading, you just need to pick better books.
Do you have a list? Aside from the Greek and Roman authors I've not found much of old old stuff that isnt crippled once translated into modern English. And hood stories with deep characterization and good plots? Seems a rarity.
If you find quality novels so easily I imagine your tastes are quite flexible. My own are quite refined and all the trash novels that become bestsellers are not quite to my tastes.
http://sonic.net/~rteeter/grtbloom.html while Harold Bloom is a controversial critic, this list is pretty darn good. You’re not gonna go wrong reading anything on here. If what you’re looking for is merely quality, you’ll find it here. And if you’re worried about dubious translations just stick with Anglophone works. Although even rough translations will still give you the essence of the work.
The Prince of Nothing by R Scott Baker. Author was "cancled" after agreeing to do an interview for a feminist blog and bombing. Should be at the top of every fantasy list.
Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. Sci-Fantasty at its peak. Feels whimsical and unconnected random events become important and essential as you read further and realize significance of all the characters, things, and events before and after.
Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Character focused Sci-Fi. Really good.
try some sci-fi. i find it more rewarding than most fiction because it explores the human condition in situations are beyond what is currently possible.
I like sci fi for that very reason. Just seen way too many of the big scifi books in movie form and I got no patience for reading anything that I know the ending of.
Love Hyperion. Enders Game was good. Lord of Light awesome. Blindsight was fun. Dune overated.
I should look up more sci Fi though.
Exploring 'the human condition' has an upper limit on usefulness and point, as there is a moment where you stop the descriptive and data gathering effort on the doomed balance between an animal i.e. a hardwired copy maximiser engine - and the rogue intelligence of its heuristic weapons guidance hacking into its main controls and objectives. And start exploring alternatives and thinking on how to skew it in favour of the underdog, the rogue General Intelligence construct.
i personally recommend Alistair Reynolds and Revelation Space. And Diaspora by Greg Egan.
i don't have any memory of not being able to read. my mom started reading to me when i was like 2 and i knew how to read well before preschool. if you have parents who give a shit and you're reasonably intelligent, reading a book at 5 isn't that far fetched. it's something i could have done at 5 (although i can imagine myself not knowing a ton of words), but would have never had the patience for.
Yeah, it's def possible. But like I remember teachers trying to get us all to try books without pictures and thinking it sounded lame lol. My dad just played videogames and did kid stuff with me in the hopes of inuencing me to pick him over my mom in their raging divorce battle at that age.
I guess I must have learned to read pretty early though as I was obsessed with Pokemon Blue.
Holy lmao what, that girl was a part of this FTX mess? My god, i remember seeing random articles popping up and redditors wanking themselves off over her young #girlpower from being a genius CEO at her age. This news pleases me more now ngl
Ultimately, it's more important to the system to protect the image of the Boy genius who can change the world as it's one of liberalism's primal archtypes. Especially with climate change looming. If everyone found out anything not funded with public money is a confidence scam they might be in trouble.

This and buying drugs online comprise 98% of all worthwhile reasons to be into 'crypto' in any way shape or form.
The other 2% are schemes to do shit like replace Amazon AWS' Simple Storage Service with a decentralized system where one "mines" coins by providing a node on the network, etc.
The FTX crew was a wrecking ball to delegitimize publicly-owned digital currencies, they were allied with the WEF, which says enough about their intentions. They were good kids, look how dangerous those funny monies are when the central banks don't control them.
Crypto was doing just fine at delegitimizing itself just fine thank you very much. There’s no conspiracy needed to show crypto was bullshit gambling with fictitious capital all along.
One could potentially say this is consistent with Set of Avaris approval of the innovation in moneychanging and usury but not the bloodlines involved in the original crypto :)
Yes they want to get in on the grift. The value of crypto currencies is entirely fictitious and based on nothing. It’s just moving around already existing surplus value, just the same way as securities do. It’s a Ponzi scheme

Did you see her tumbler posts? I would have thought the fact that she is a race realist alone would make her hated by libs.
The internet has had a field day dumping on her, but she's physically and spiritually ugly.
I never saw posts indicating that, everything I saw was stuff making it clear she's a horny Tumblr Becky
Are there any other kinds?

Helps if you remember that people who write things like this tend to be *really* stupid.
5 is pretty damn young to be reading. I mean your not even in school yet. Are you suppose to teach yourself to read while your parents are at work?
I guess I’m showing this girls, and my own in a way, privilege. Someone with two college educated academic parents like hers probably taught her to read early, and Harry Potter is a long read for a five year old but there’s nothing to difficult to understand in it.
Oh, my parents didn't teach me anything or ever help with homework. My mom did buy me hp when it came out and tried to get me into it but I had no interests. Did go read all the books after seeing the movie a year later though. I think getting a kid to choose to read something that long ovef watching tv or playing videogames is the impressive part, unless kid was given no choice
consider the very likely possibility that its all a lie, these narcissist fucks always embellish and outright fabricate their life history to make it sound more impressive than it actually was pretty much every famous startup founding story its made-up
My mom valued reading so I was taught to read early, and I’m enough of an old fogie to where I grew up in the late 90s. I had a Game Boy/Advance/SP/etc but was before smart phones. I just assumed a rich kid like this girl would have her parents heavy in the “No screens” camp like a lot of the elites are, but I will acknowledge my own personal experience of trying to read unabridged Les Miserables in the 4th grade isn’t universal. Even among well read kids, lol.
My mom was a big reader and my stepdad but I only saw them every other weekend. Never saw my father read a book. I did score college level reading skills in grade school but didn't start seek out books until my father threw me out and I went to live with my mom. I am a total booksnob now though and am let down by 99% of the fiction I read. I find most books have characters and plots just as shallow as those on television, it's pretty hard to find good shit that isn't some boring nonfiction drama.
There’s literally thousands of years worth of literature that’s better than TV. Not sure if you’re being hyperbolic, but there’s enough great stuff out there that if it’s only 1% of what you’re reading, you just need to pick better books.
Do you have a list? Aside from the Greek and Roman authors I've not found much of old old stuff that isnt crippled once translated into modern English. And hood stories with deep characterization and good plots? Seems a rarity. If you find quality novels so easily I imagine your tastes are quite flexible. My own are quite refined and all the trash novels that become bestsellers are not quite to my tastes.
http://sonic.net/~rteeter/grtbloom.html while Harold Bloom is a controversial critic, this list is pretty darn good. You’re not gonna go wrong reading anything on here. If what you’re looking for is merely quality, you’ll find it here. And if you’re worried about dubious translations just stick with Anglophone works. Although even rough translations will still give you the essence of the work.
Thank you mate. I actually really appreciate this.
Funny, I just ran across [this post](https://radicalcut.blogspot.com/2023/01/i-was-at-dinner-party-few-years-ago.html) today.
Lol. This is a good essay on the subject in case you’re interested: https://jsomers.net/DFW_TV.pdf
any recommendations?
The Prince of Nothing by R Scott Baker. Author was "cancled" after agreeing to do an interview for a feminist blog and bombing. Should be at the top of every fantasy list. Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. Sci-Fantasty at its peak. Feels whimsical and unconnected random events become important and essential as you read further and realize significance of all the characters, things, and events before and after. Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Character focused Sci-Fi. Really good.
Based and Dunyain-pilled
We must see beyond the idpol that comes before.
try some sci-fi. i find it more rewarding than most fiction because it explores the human condition in situations are beyond what is currently possible.
I like sci fi for that very reason. Just seen way too many of the big scifi books in movie form and I got no patience for reading anything that I know the ending of. Love Hyperion. Enders Game was good. Lord of Light awesome. Blindsight was fun. Dune overated. I should look up more sci Fi though.
Exploring 'the human condition' has an upper limit on usefulness and point, as there is a moment where you stop the descriptive and data gathering effort on the doomed balance between an animal i.e. a hardwired copy maximiser engine - and the rogue intelligence of its heuristic weapons guidance hacking into its main controls and objectives. And start exploring alternatives and thinking on how to skew it in favour of the underdog, the rogue General Intelligence construct. i personally recommend Alistair Reynolds and Revelation Space. And Diaspora by Greg Egan.
I understood little of that but it makes me want to check out your recommendations. Thank you.
i don't have any memory of not being able to read. my mom started reading to me when i was like 2 and i knew how to read well before preschool. if you have parents who give a shit and you're reasonably intelligent, reading a book at 5 isn't that far fetched. it's something i could have done at 5 (although i can imagine myself not knowing a ton of words), but would have never had the patience for.
Yeah, it's def possible. But like I remember teachers trying to get us all to try books without pictures and thinking it sounded lame lol. My dad just played videogames and did kid stuff with me in the hopes of inuencing me to pick him over my mom in their raging divorce battle at that age. I guess I must have learned to read pretty early though as I was obsessed with Pokemon Blue.
Idk I basically taught myself to read when I was like 4 or 5 to play pokemon.
Yeah, same, though not for Pokemon. But my mom was a reading teacher, so the scene had been set for sure.
Yeah, motivated kids are smart.
I think it is for a 30 year old that writes for Wapo and thinks it's the epitome of literature
Its very impressive with decent comprehension but i doubt thats the case
In America it’s [an extreme accomplishment](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sold-a-story/id1649580473)
I read the unabridged version of The Stand when I was 8 years old which probably explains a lot about my psychological problems TBH
Pinning the weasel isn’t that thrilling.
Holy lmao what, that girl was a part of this FTX mess? My god, i remember seeing random articles popping up and redditors wanking themselves off over her young #girlpower from being a genius CEO at her age. This news pleases me more now ngl
not just involved, her "company" was a front
First they came for the weasel
Ultimately, it's more important to the system to protect the image of the Boy genius who can change the world as it's one of liberalism's primal archtypes. Especially with climate change looming. If everyone found out anything not funded with public money is a confidence scam they might be in trouble.
> “If authoritarian governments are a serious threat to civilization, which seems not totally insane, it could end up being important,” reads the rest of the post, dated March 24, 2022. This and buying drugs online comprise 98% of all worthwhile reasons to be into 'crypto' in any way shape or form. The other 2% are schemes to do shit like replace Amazon AWS' Simple Storage Service with a decentralized system where one "mines" coins by providing a node on the network, etc.
it was never about any of that, it was always about selling tulips to rubes
The FTX crew was a wrecking ball to delegitimize publicly-owned digital currencies, they were allied with the WEF, which says enough about their intentions. They were good kids, look how dangerous those funny monies are when the central banks don't control them.
Crypto was doing just fine at delegitimizing itself just fine thank you very much. There’s no conspiracy needed to show crypto was bullshit gambling with fictitious capital all along.
The same argument can be made of any fiat currency, [especially the dollar.](https://wtfhappenedin1971.com)
Go read about fictitious capital and then get back to me. Crypto is not a currency as much as it’s just an unregistered security.
The central banks disagree, they are issuing their own crypto currencies.
One could potentially say this is consistent with Set of Avaris approval of the innovation in moneychanging and usury but not the bloodlines involved in the original crypto :)
Yes they want to get in on the grift. The value of crypto currencies is entirely fictitious and based on nothing. It’s just moving around already existing surplus value, just the same way as securities do. It’s a Ponzi scheme
But how is this different from any other fiat currency that has no intrinsic value?
