Well, look, they're all progressives, and they're all even at best when they pretend to be MAGA, socially liberal, right, for all the money that we've poured into Silicon Valley.

Maybe there's like one company, Palantir, Boo Palantir, right, that's getting contracts to allegedly help deport.

How's that going?

But I don't see a lot of technological innovation going on on the front of, I don't know, securing our borders or ensuring that we can actually deport illegals.

No, they're busy cramming their companies full of H-1B tech workers.

But I think a really important term, I'm sure Joe Allen has introduced it to this audience, but to sort of understand

What is going on on a psychological level of what these tech pro types, Sam Altman being really the poster child for it, formerly predecessor, I would say, SBF is this concept of effective altruism, right?

The idea that essentially it does not matter what you have to do.

You should just maximize your capital, do whatever you can to make money, and then use that for utilitarian purposes to achieve success.

a greater good through community service.

All the basically big time tech scammers, both in the literal sense, but also just a more vague or broader use of the term scammer, all really have sort of subscribed to that ideology.

And I think Sam Altman is a perfect example.

And I think when you see their sort of wishy-washy

description of what they want to do take these designer babies for an example right once they're called out which I don't know about you if they were forthright with what they were doing it'd certainly be a little less scary though it is still very scary but then it becomes about right ridding you know babies of diseases that's a limited hangout as to what they're really working on and I also think another point that I would make particularly in the case of Sam Altman

We're always signal, not noise here in the war room.

But this individual, not just because of what he's doing over at OpenAI, but the position that he had before that, essentially leading Y Combinator, which is one of the leading startup vessels that pumps, it's the highest check you can basically have written to your company.

He has been the one making decisions of what companies get funded.

Yeah.

for years, for nearly five years.

So that mindset, whether it's designer babies, progressivism, that is what undergirds the entire tech community.
