"There's a pretty decent argument that my empathy is fake, my feelings are fake, my facial reactions are fake. I don't feel happiness. What's the point in dating someone who you physically can't make happy?" the FTX cofounder added.

In a shorter list entitled "ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR," Bankman-Fried said the pair had shared interests, he enjoyed talking with her, and listed "I really like fucking you" twice.

"Sam wanted to do whatever at any given moment offered the highest expected value, and his estimate of her expected value seemed to peak right before they had sex and plummet immediately after."

Remembering a study done that most CEOs are actual sociopaths.

Most of them in general but with tech you've got the deus ex machina complex where they're all representing some utopian future. There are so many layers to the narcissism.

Sometimes I wonder if these guys are truly sociopaths or if they just convince themselves they are because they like the idea.

I do think many of them were born with the capacity for empathy but learn to suppress it because that's what it takes to get ahead in that world.
