I 100% really did not intend for the name to work so well with that context but am once again thankful for all the gifts it brings.

I was making a vague reference to that because I only had a vague recollection of a sneerclub discussion involving “eudaimonia”. Looked it up, I don’t think there was some major thing that happened. Rats use the word “eudaimonia” a lot, that seems to be pretty much it.

It might have been related to this:

Counterpoint to all this is: at the very least this might help move the needle on some folks who don’t see things this way yet.

Oh lol I googled it and Michael Lewis, the guy who wrote moneyball and the big short (book ver.), wrote “going infinite”, which required following SBF for “the better part of a year.” Apparently people think it is too sympathetic to SBF. Shame if so, I liked moneyball and the big short (movie ver.)

Please explain (I am not well steeped in the SBF lore/tea)
