  2. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. Ik las dit weekend dus Flash Boys van Michael Lewis. Ik was vergeten dat ik dit boek eigenlijk al had, dus ik deze nu dus dubbel. De reden dat ik een Michael Lewis boek bijna zonder na te denken koop, is omdat Lewis de twee boeken schreef die de basis waren voor twee van de beste films van de laatste 15 jaar: Moneyball en The Big Short. Dus dit was een no-brainer.

    Ook de voorkant met de […]

  8. @petrillic "the fifth risk" by michael lewis¹ goes into this at length

    ¹ now completely disgraced (x.com/Cryptadamist/status/1825) but he was right about this

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Recently listened through 's 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.

  17. 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

  19. 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.

  21. 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.

  25. 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:

    memex.craphound.com/2018/11/27

    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.

  27. 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.
