The author is going out of his way to not say whatever he is saying. He is writing in allusions that will only make sense to people closely connected to whatever he’s talking about. “242” → Bahamas → FTX is clear enough, but I don’t know what else I’m not getting and it’s not worth the effort to me to find out.
Was trying not to specifically mention FTX, Nick Bostrom or Max Tegmark. I wanted to keep the audience to people who were familiar with it and not people Googling the topics who were off-forum and not EA or rationalist types.

I tried to make that clear in the introduction.
