These parents seem to sum up US elites. Oblivious, wealthy, university credentialed, corrupt, shameless.
Their unwavering support isn’t all that unusual. But Bankman, 68 years old, and Fried, 72, aren’t like most parents. The luster of their careers as beloved Stanford Law professors helped pave the way for the stunning rise of their son’s crypto exchange, FTX. And their direct dealings with that company, and the perks they received from their son before FTX filed for bankruptcy, have opened them up to legal headaches of their own. View Quote A note on the word "credentialed" instead of "degree". Or maybe "pedigreed". I think credentialed has an appropriately lesser connotation. There are too many examples of elites with sense and usefulness far below what their possession of paper indicates. |

Patrick Boyle did a hilarious video on this, Bankman and Fried were neck deep. His mother is a legal ethics professor, his father a business tax professor.
They were basically directors at FTX, attended meetings, got paid millions salary, received a mansion in the Bahamas as a tax dodge. Left wing political mega donations went through a PAC set up by his mom Fried and millions of dollars were donated to Stanford through various cutouts. Bankman got himself inserted as an extra in their Super Bowl commercial. On and on and on... How Involved Were SBF's Parents? |

Don't we have a thread on royal families inbreeding?
Pretty much the same thing with intellectual inbreeding, everyone agrees with each other and opposing thought is met with autistic screeching. |

There used to be much better pictures of her floating around but they all seem to have disappeared. I have an utter weakness for nerdy chicks. They try waaay harder, they often have interesting kinks, and you can actually carry on a conversation with them when you're done. Not her, though. She's cute in the right way but she has far too much baggage, legal and otherwise. |

(6:11 for effective altruism with other people's money) Sam Bankman-Fried On Managing A Team, Altruism, And His Legacy | Forbes She was a Stanford Law Ethics professor deeply affected by Jeremy Bentham Utilitarianism. He called his generosity (and a new way of looking at things) "effective altruism". And why he was so generous with other people's money. His mom made suggestions about where FTX donation money should go, including her own PAC (as well as to Democrat politicians & other PACs). His dad is a Stanford Law professor specializing in minimizing taxes and adopting strategies to minimize losses for failing businesses, focused on keeping assets. His dad directed his son to make a $5.5 million gift to Stanford University. And his son gifted a $20 million mansion in the Bahamas to the mom and dad. And also covered furnishing it, its upkeep and maintenance, and cleaning services. His dad was very actively involved as an Officer for Alemaeda. He was pretty much calling the shots. So it looks like a scam from the git-go, with planning on where to put the assets where the government can't touch it when the thing folds, funding political causes, and being well-connected/ friended by the beautiful people of the current Leftist movement, to meet the mom's needs of making a difference (with other people's money). Then whatever is going on with the crypto and the Ukraine money laundering thingy... I have no doubt it was designed that way. Stanford seems to be the go to for .gov employees. Obama is a big fan. No reasonable prosecutor... (He got the clot shot. Maybe he is not long for this world) |

William David MacAskill (né Crouch; born 24 March 1987) is a Scottish philosopher and author, as well as one of the originators of the effective altruism movement. He is an associate professor in Philosophy and Research Fellow at the Global Priorities Institute at the University of Oxford and Director of the Forethought Foundation for Global Priorities Research. He co-founded Giving What We Can, the Centre for Effective Altruism and 80,000 Hours, and is the author of Doing Good Better (2015) and What We Owe the Future (2022) and the co-author of Moral Uncertainty (2020 Investor and entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX was involved in effective altruism since before 2010, and around 2019 became more publicly associated with the effective altruism movement, announcing that his goal was to "donate as much as [he] can".Bankman-Fried founded the FTX Future Fund, which brought on MacAskill as one of its advisers, and which paid a $13.9 million grant to the Centre for Effective Altruism where MacAskill holds a board role. After the company's collapse in late 2022, Bankman-Fried's relationship with effective altruism has been called into question as a public relations strategy, while the movement's embrace of him proved damaging to its reputation. Some journalists asked whether the effective altruist movement was "complicit" in FTX's collapse. However, several leaders of the effective altruism movement, including William MacAskill and Robert Wiblin, condemned FTX's actions. MacAskill emphasized that bringing about good consequences does not justify violating rights or sacrificing integrity View Quote |

For many that is what is of greatest value in professional degrees: the ability to artfully CYA while threading an amoral needle around and through the ethical and legal fabric of our society, achieving personal grandeur with the least amount of exertion, exposure and risk. They never see themselves as charlatans, just smarter and more deserving for it than everyone else that in their mind’s, are simply just too plain stupid, ignorant, or morally anachronistic to function at their level |
