i don’t think there is a writer i have lost more respect for in so short a time than michael lewis, whose take on SBF has been “why people so mad he’s just a smol bean uwu” and whose take on michael oher, exploited by lewis’s friends, was “that dumb dumb just has CTE”

I don’t want to speak for the man, but I’m pretty sure he recognizes that shilling for rich people (SBF) and calling Michael Oher cognitively impaired are poor responses. He also appears to be a friend of Lewis.

I never thought that Michael Lewis would make me cringe, but he has.
I believe there is evidence that Housing was correcting in 05-06 the very moment the shorts started & fueled the boom
