Is it just “ends justify the means” based on analyzing “data”?

Commit massive fraud -> live outrageously lavish lifestyle -> give large amounts of money to charity once doing so no longer impacts your lifestyle

Optional step of going to prison (see SBF)

It comes from the Frankfurt School. It's by the same people who gave us Critical Race Theory. It's fundamentally a Marxist critique of capitalism and society that says life isn't fair, there are have and have nots, the government is unfit to solve the problem of wealth redistribution, so it should be done by wealthy capitalists instead by any means necessary.

Of course like Scientology to be in this cult you have to be a rich person in Silicon Valley. It's also totally vapid and goes against all empirical evidence of human nature, which has proven time and again that people are mostly selfish and self motivated and altruism barely exists in nature if at all (and more likely than not, effectively doesn't).

So you have a corrupt cult of rich people subverting the government, trying to profit off of other people's better ideas, and watching Glass Onion on a loop calling Elon a midwit. What could go wrong besides 8 billion dollars stolen in a fraud scheme and federal prison. But I have a feeling that won't deter these assholes!

What do you mean? I disagree with it vehemently, but it pretty plainly comes from Bentham and JS mill and people like Rawls and Singer.

Habermas? Correcting spelling?

He is not Jewish, he was a Nazi Youth! And he's not really a Frankfurt school practicioner — more like a continental nitwit who does a little bit of shityy, watered-down Peirce by way of Sassure's critics; a bit of JL Austin but without God and His the Command that actuates the Theory; Karl Bühler without object relations to give him depth or BF Skinner to make rigorous his empiricism/instrumentalism. A lightweight. Not worth speaking of.

But even were that not so, he still would be irrelevant to EA qua EA, as opposed to the hand knotting arrangement of that ugly autist dyad.

It’s just super-abstracted utilitarian ethics unconnected to any coherent epistemology, ontology, theory of value, accurate knowledge of the world, or commitment to making and testing predictions. It can be bent to justify whatever bullshit the speaker feels like espousing, hence its popularity with high-IQ but intrinsically clueless tech people who stumbled into crazy amounts of money by being in the right place/right time and are now casting around for meaning without being able to draw on any reliable source thereof. It’s the type of philosophy or economics analysis that consists of making up some assertions and then applying a bunch of seemingly rigorous math and words to reason to the author’s preferred conclusion, without testing whether the assertions or conclusion are true, and then shouting and changing the subject if challenged.
