Laptopgate “Reading between the lines of all available evidence, you can find an organized effort by the bureau to put its thumb on the scale for Joe Biden’s campaign.” – Andrew C. McCarthy “A FRANKENSTEINIAN TALE” Thread: THE Twitter FILES: Matt Taibi, Twitter, Dec. 2, 2022 — What you’re about to read is the first installment […]

Mary Harrington UnHerd, Dec. 7, 2022 “The Biden administration is fond of talking about “democracy” versus “autocracy,” but it might be more accurate to talk about swarmism and Caesarism. Swarmism is a kind of post-democratic democracy: a mutant form of liberal proceduralism, characterised by collective decision-making in which no one is ever individually […]
David Harsanyi The Federalist, Dec. 6, 2022 “… the Hunter story — with receipts, hard evidence, and on-the-record witnesses — had far more journalistic substantiation than virtually any of the anonymous one-source Russia-collusion “scoops” that Bump and The Washington Post peddled for years.” A rant. Mostly because the evidence confirms all my […]
Jordan Boyd The Federalist, Dec. 7, 2022 “Chan’s denial that the FBI ever discussed Hunter Biden with Big Tech companies directly contradicts testimony from Yoel Roth, the former head of trust and safety at Twitter. … He later confirmed that the FBI maintained a working censorship relationship with Roth “until the day” after […]
Andrew McCarthy NY Post, Dec. 5, 2022 “Did the FBI actually say the Biden evidence was Russian disinformation? It clearly came pretty damn close.” STOP looking for a smoking gun.

“But there is a deeper issue, best illustrated by EA’s recent turn toward “longtermism.” The longtermist conceit offers a spectacular gamble on the future of human civilization, one that parallels SBF’s calculated bet that he could bluff crypto finance into the mainstream.– Ariel Ron GAMBLING BIG ON THE FUTURE The Contradictions of Effective Altruism: Ariel […]
Linda Kinstler 1843 Magazine, May 15, 2022 “Though it may not be a cult, effective altruism is a kind of church – one that has become increasingly centralised and controlled over time.” In June 2017, Stern, a liberal German magazine, published an article, “Why your banker can save more lives than your doctor”, introducing […]
Olúfẹ́mi O Táíwò and Joshua Stein The Guardian, Nov. 16, 2022 ‘Earn to give’ appeals to those who have successfully chased high-risk investments like crypto.” Sam Bankman-Fried’s recent alleged fraud raises familiar questions about the reliability and regulation of cryptocurrency. But it also calls into question “effective altruism”, an intellectual movement in philanthropy. If the […]

Annie Lowrey The Atlantic, Nov. 17, 2022 “The irony is rich: A movement devoted to addressing poverty encouraged its adherents to become as wealthy as possible.” The spectacular collapse of the cryptocurrency trading firm FTX has raised a number of urgent questions. Why did the founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, get such fawning media coverage? Will his […]
Gideon Lewis-Kraus New Yorker, Dec. 1, 2022 “If you’re personally affected by what’s happening, the community health team wants to be here for you. We’ve already heard from people who are feeling worried, angry, or sad.” One of the inevitable questions to have attended the abrupt undoing of the erstwhile billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried—the overnight collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange, […]
