People I normally respect have bought in on some crazy-ass conspiracy theories. Elon, Balaji, PMarca... all super smart, and all tweeting crazy shit. I did some research to see why people get hooked on conspiracy theories: https://www.charterless.com/p/do-your-own-research-the-psychology

sure, - Balaji on SBF's delayed-arrest (it must be because he donated money and not because a massive financial fraud case takes longer than 24 hours to generate a winning case for...). - Marc Andreesen on WEF paranoia. And claiming that there was some kind of mainstream alliance in favor of Ehrlich's pop bomb theory.

The Toronado cash wasn’t given the same privileges on the first point so theory has merit imo. WEF is just weird and an uncomfortable amount of people with power meet. At the intersection of economic power and political power. A lot of stuff here is prob bs but prob a lot isn’t as well. Needs a giant flashlight im

FWIW, I believe that the Tornado Cash case was bullshit too. And I hope it gets thrown out. But, the government had time to build an investigation there since the code was live and being used for a long time. I'm impressed by how quickly the DoJ indicted Sam and the severity of penalties they're bringing.
