Thanks for the update! I agree with Nathan that this deserves its own post.
Re your last point, I always saw SBF/FTX (when things were going well) as a success story relating to E2G/billionaire philanthropy/maximisation/hardcore utilitarianism/risk-taking/etc. I feel these are the factors that make SBF’s case distinctive, and the connection to community building is more tenuous.
This being the case, the whole thing has updated me away from those things, but it hasn’t really updated my view on community building (other than that we should be doing things more in line with Ord’s opening address at EAG Bay Area).
I’m surprised you see things differently and would be interested in hearing why that is :)
Maybe I’m just biased because I’m a professional community builder!
