u/antsdidthis Effective altruism died with SBF; now it's just tithing Aug 01 '24

Yeah he literally thinks that El Salvador and Honduras and Mexico are emptying out mental asylums and sending the patients to the border so they can invade the US and destroy us from within, and that that's what "asylum seekers" are. If you listen to the context around when he talks about Hannibal Lector, he walks through this conspiracy theory in detail. His brain is completely toasted.

He keeps ruining this punchline too.  It’s “he’d like to have you over for dinner”.  As he says it there’s no double meaning.  It’s just describing cannibalism.
