Interesting how SBF seemed to almost be running around in a sort of dissociative state. He was sorta aware that there was a whole world out there with consequences but he just completely ignored it. Screw the consequences, just kept doing whatever dumb stuff he wanted to do.
The drug-using definition predates the nerd-culture definition from what I can tell (the Urban Dictionary entry is older for one thing).
Well, this is bog-standard psychopathy. It’s not really that interesting. If he had been born into a lower station in life and gone around doing check-fraud or something, no one would really care. The SBF story is just really one about how class and connections act as an insane multiplier for unrestrained criminality.
