Maybe I’ve lived too conservatively but I wonder about privileged guys like SBF who manage to blow up their lives by age 30 like this. Not limited to crypto. There’s Shkreli, Snowden. A few women too. Elizabeth Holmes etc. At least people growing up poor in bad environments have excuses.

random thought: wonder if it's related to periods of big shifts in thought e.g. all the romantic poets that died young, lots of 60s artists. Many sociopathic risk takers lose all constraints and blow up early
