Yeah, to be effectively altruistic towards yourself.

Specifically, Sam and his brother, Gabriel Bankman Freed, is actually the guy sort of like organizing this attempted endeavor using FTX's charitable donations arm.

And their goal was to purchase the entire island.

in order to construct what Gabe called a bunker shelter that would be used to, quote, ensure that most effective altruists survive in the event that between 50% and 99.99% of the world population perish in a catastrophe.

rift man especially since they're framing it not as look you know when you got like a guy like Peter Thiel right and everybody knows Peter Thiel's got like an evil rich guy bunker to wait out the end of the world if it happens and like fuck Peter Thiel but at least that's Peter Thiel's not pretending I have a bunker to like save the world by putting aside just the best people he's like no I'm a giant piece of shit and I'm gonna save myself if things go wrong okay like fuck you Peter Thiel but at least it's honest

Yeah, it's me and my blood boys.

Gabe is like, no, we have to, in the event there's an apocalypse, we have to save all the EAs because they're the best people.

And that's what's best for the world.

We're utilitarians, right?

The greatest good for the greatest number of people is to save all of the best people, which is me and my friends, the other finance kids who call themselves effective altruists so they don't have to feel bad for the fact that all they do is play the stock market like every other piece of shit.

anyway so lucky that they all met each other so lucky that they're all friends all the good people yeah i would love i would love honestly like look when the when the strike is over somebody at a network bring me on i will write you a banger fucking script about an apocalypse where just the ea guys are left in their bunker trying to figure out society okay

Yeah, we could do quite a tale.

We could have some fun with this one, Jamie.

Oh yeah.

We could get, we could get fucking William McCaskill in there.

No problem.

Bring his Scottish ass on board.

Yeah.

And they're all, they're all, I'm going to be honest, kind of stupid.

So I bet we could trick him.
