given netflix is working on "the altruists" about SBF I think we need to dispute him being EA, if I claimed to be a vegan but then was caught eating meat no one would continue to see me as a vegan, they'd see me as a meat eater who lied about being vegan - the same logic needs to be applied to SBF, he didn't make a mistake he made a choice, one that is firmly incompatible with believing or being EA, he wasn't an imperfect EA he was repeatedly dishonest and lied for his own gain.
