Great interview with #MichaelLewis & #GillianTett in the #IntelligenceSquared podcast episode — In Urgent Defence of Government.
https://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/michael-lewis-in-defence-of-government/
Great to hear the story behind the book - Who is Government? The Untold Story of Public Service

Willing to set aside the FTX book fiasco; given the excellence of THE FIFTH RISK book, I am looking forward to this new Michael Lewis project. The timing is perfect. People need to stop being drooling ignoramuses about government, govt agencies, and govt work. It's largely good and beneficial. What Trump and Musk are doing is selfishly pillaging it for profit and privatization--the oldest dream of asshole conservatives everywhere.

Quite interesting (warning: long) article about an American public servant's work to improve mine safety, and his unusual academic heritage from his father. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/interactive/2024/michael-lewis-chris-marks-the-canary-who-is-government/ #MichaelLewis

Recently listened through #MichaelLewis's #GoingInfinite in pretty much one sitting while driving cross country.
As someone with a passing interest in cryptocurrencies, effective altruism and probabilistic thinking, it was pretty crazy to hear what happens when it's all turned up to 11.
A bit conflicted about how mental health is mentioned but not directly addressed in the book. It was probably responsible to not armchair diagnose, but it was a big piece of the puzzle to leave out.

CW: Long thread/32
As #MichaelLewis's *Fifth Risk* (published after Trump filled the administrative agencies with bootlickers, sociopaths and crooks) documented, these jobs demand competence:
For example, Lewis describes how a Washington State nuclear waste facility created as part of the Manhattan Project endangers the Columbia River, the source of 8 million Americans' drinking water.

Finished and really liked #MichaelLewis 's recent book #GoingInfinite about #SBF and the #FTX firm through it's end. Surreal how all this transpired, how fragile the company was, and the lack of controls for the business. Lewis had good timing to see all this happen.

Michael Lewis doing hard hitting journalism back in 2022 on stage at the #FTX Bahamas conference with awesome human beings Sam Bankman-Fried and Katie Haun (alumnus of #Trump loving #a16z, now #HaunVentures) explaining how everything traditional finance does is actually way better in crypto.
Literally he says that.

Luck
Above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck—and with luck comes obligation. You owe a debt, and not just to your gods. You owe a debt to the unlucky.

Sooo, the rich white guy who wrote Moneyball and The Big Short has also written The Blind Side (aka 'that racist sports movie with the pretend-adoption'), and has recently taken a crack at writing a book to try and make #SamBankmanFried look cool.
Buuuut he is so much of a clueless boomer he thinks Sam must be a genius for having ADHD, not having a CFO, and philosophising about charity

The recent #BehindTheBastards episode on the book Going Infinite and #SBF was great. I found it particularly hilarious that Athe author #MichaelLewis thought SBF was an extra special boy because he played #MagicTheGathering.
As a former Magic player I feel equipped to state that this is not the case. I do think it might have appealed to SBF because his parents seem to be the type to buy endless cards for him.

can someone please ask michael lewis to stop referring to the sam bankman-fried trial as a "lynching" holy shit
-
The updated image of Sam Bankman-Fried as an ice-cold manipulator, bully and liar is very dark. That picture is becoming clear to the judge and jury, and could help put Bankman-Fried in prison for a shockingly long time.
-
"If I were a juror, I would rather hear my story than either defense or prosecution."
-
the omission of ftx's bribe to chinese officials (now a charge against SBF to be tried in march '24) is waved off by lewis as "a distraction". he dismisses SBF's later admissions that the ethics stuff was made up as "an aberration" because SBF was "zonked out". on the blatant bank fraud, "nobody would have cared about it". "they thought it was fun".
-
this time mag interview with michael lewis is really disappointing. he likens those who panned his book to a "mob", doubles down on his book being a "letter to the jury", and suggests that the two options available to a jury are acquittal or "lynching".

The Big Short is een herkijkbare film. De eerste keer om het onwaarschijnlijke verhaal: het ontstaan van de financiële crisis in 2008. En alle andere keren erna om het geweldige acteerwerk, het tempo — de pacing — en de dialogen. Ik heb de film meerdere keren gezien. En wanneer ie per ongeluk op TV is en al val ik half-in, ik blijf toch elke keer weer kijken.
