David Z. Morris - The Fall of SBF and the Techno-Utopian Mirage

THE DEFI DAVE POD EP#1 In this first episode, author David Z. Morris talks about his book, Stealing the Future, that covers the rise and fall of SBF and the culture of rationalism, EA, and longtermism that he was surrounded by. Morris argues FTX’s collapse was essentially a massive margin call fueled by misuse of customer deposits and a delusion that he did no wrong. The conversation defines and critiques effective altruism, rationalism, and longtermism, linking them to techno-utopian claims, AI “doom” narratives, and investment-style thinking that can justify harming present people for hypothetical future gains.
