A:<\/strong> I met Joe Bankman and Barbara Fried during the 2007-2008 academic year at Stanford Law School, where I was their student and mentee. I already had a Ph.D. in philosophy from another university and was interested in pursuing the legal academic track. Their courses that year were well suited to that end. Joe, along with then-dean Larry Kramer, was teaching the Legal Theory Workshop, a year-long seminar designed to groom Stanford Law students for academic careers. Barbara, along with Prof. Josh Cohen, was teaching a course called \u201cLuck in Morality, Public Policy, and the Law,\u201d which meshed with my philosophical interests.<\/p>\n Those classes went as well as could have been hoped for. Joe and Barbara were both drawn in by my Legal Theory term paper, Conservative Claims of Cultural Oppression<\/em>, which examined what conservatives maintain is the covert oppressiveness of the liberal elites\u2014also known as the New Class or the Clerisy, among other labels. And so, they became my academic advisers. I charmed them well enough that they quite spontaneously offered me a two-year academic fellowship to stay on at the law school after graduation, which I accepted.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, things later went sideways, at which point they initiated the gaslighting detailed in The Star Chamber of Stanford<\/em>. My hopes for an academic career were at an end. Even so, I vowed to one day expose my advisers\u2019 gaslighting, by making of it a case study in the cultural pathologies of liberalism and academia, first unearthed in my term paper. That\u2019s the purpose of the memoir, which crafts a philosophical argument through the tale of my convoluted association with the Bankman-Fried power couple. I had been toiling over it for more than a decade before it finally appeared on Amazon in April 2022, after many delays.I didn\u2019t learn that one of Joe and Barbara\u2019s offspring had emerged as the celebrated crypto wunderkind Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) until fairly recently\u2014only a month or two before his fall from grace, quite by happenstance online. So, it\u2019s pure serendipity that my former advisers should be thrust into the national spotlight just six months after the memoir\u2019s belated release\u2014utterly uncanny, just like my story itself. Ruminating on the denouement of my association with Stanford toward the close of the book, I summed up the situation as follows:<\/p>\n Now clear-sighted as to the nature of my jihad, I could see in hindsight that what Barbara had diagnosed as my proclivity to \u201cmake specimens\u201d of people was perhaps more worrisome than I could then appreciate. But that penchant had always lain latent in my research agenda, spurring me on inexorably according to an invisible logic, and I would hold Stanford to account by dint of it. \u2026 Reflecting on Barbara\u2019s prophetic prescience alongside my own premonition all through the summer of 2008 that I\u2019d be engrossed in the project [Conservative Claims of Cultural Oppression] full time by the upcoming fall, I couldn\u2019t help but wonder whether we were all vessels for forces larger than ourselves, wooly-minded though that sounds, with these signs from a wise providence auguring a distant yet destined day of reckoning when balance would be restored to the universe.<\/p>\n That arguably superstitious trust in the fates has, to my mind, been vindicated by the astonishing, unpremeditated timeliness of the memoir, as the spectacular fall of SBF, in combination the role his parents will inevitably play in the various narratives set forth to explain it, will hopefully garner the memoir a lot more attention than it otherwise would have gotten. Truly do I have the favor of the gods (unlike a lot of crypto investors these days). I believe the research agenda I first initiated at Stanford\u2014beginning with Conservative Claims of Cultural Oppression<\/em> and culminating with the memoir\u2014positions me to help elevate the emerging discourse on the fall of SBF. My work\u2014written both for<\/em> and about<\/em> SBF\u2019s parents\u2014can illuminate some of the profound questions naturally raised by this epic debacle.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve never met SBF, but I distinctly recall once espying him as a teenager alongside his parents in the late summer of 2008, when Joe and Barbara hosted a gathering at their home for law students contemplating academic careers. My outsider\u2019s impression was one of authentic and harmonious familial relations. From what I\u2019ve read, Joe and Barbara were seriously committed to cultivating their offspring\u2019s moral capacities (moral philosophy being one of Barbara\u2019s specialties). And yet we all know how things panned out. My best guess is that they were as blindsided as anyone. How did that happen? That\u2019s where my research agenda and memoir come in.<\/p>\n To explain is not to excuse, but SBF was raised on the Stanford campus, by not one but two academic superstar parents. So he was being marinated in the elite culture and its vices from the day he was born\u2014the elites\u2019 hubris, their unfounded sense of moral and intellectual superiority, their penchant for stealth, subterfuge, and plausible deniability. These unfortunate tendencies can express themselves in a host of ways. Apropos my feud with my advisers, the medium was a campaign of barely noticeable psychological warfare. Apropos their wayward son, it was epic financial fraud. But the underlying ethos is the same. That ethos was reproducing itself in SBF in subtle ways that Joe and Barbara, snuggly ensconced in their elite bubble, could ill understand, and that\u2019s why he broke bad despite their high-minded intentions. They aren\u2019t responsible for SBF\u2019s (alleged) crimes, but they are responsible for contributing to a culture in which the rise of SBF became possible. The Star Chamber of Stanford can help us understand why.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: What\u2019s with the endnotes and bibliography?

As I explain in the introduction, this is \u201cthe story of a term paper that came to life, the paper that was written for Stanford before the force of its own inner logic made it become about Stanford.\u201d<\/p>\n That said, the academic citation is pretty light compared to conventional scholarly fare, so readers shouldn\u2019t be deterred. True eggheads can turn to the companion works available on my website, which take a deep dive into the memoir\u2019s big ideas. They can also have a look at my published Two Orientations Toward Human Nature<\/em>. But you don\u2019t need these to understand the memoir\u2014just an open mind.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: What do you mean by \u201cgaslighting\u201d?” _builder_version=”4.16″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” custom_padding=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|10px|20px|10px|true|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding_tablet=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true”]<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Gaslighting is a specific form of psychological manipulation that aims to undermine its victims\u2019 confidence in their own memories and perceptions\u2014and possibly their very sanity. The term derives from a 1938 play, Gaslight<\/em>, and its 1944 film adaptation, starring Ingrid Bergmann and Charles Boyer (spoiler alert). Set in Victorian London, the movie tells of a Janus-faced husband who schemes to convince his trusting young wife that she\u2019s losing her mind, so he can get her committed, seize her property, and recover lost jewels secreted away somewhere in the home. By stealthily displacing various household chattels while disclaiming responsibility for this, he persuades her that she\u2019s in the throes of unconscious kleptomania. Unbeknown to her, he spends his evenings rummaging for the lost jewels in the attic. When he ignites the attic gaslight, less gas becomes available to other gaslights in the dwelling, causing them to dim, which the wife notices but cannot explain. The mystery initially drives her further into self-doubt but eventually becomes the husband\u2019s undoing.<\/p>\n Clinically speaking, gaslighting needn\u2019t involve this degree of premeditation, and the manipulation is typically verbal rather than environmental. The term has now seeped into political discourse, where it may denote a ploy to sow doubt about self-evident truths, though its meaning is often diluted to encompass run-of-the-mill intellectual dishonesty. The gaslighting in the memoir is more akin to what takes place in the movie than to this more elastic political usage, except that it\u2019s a great deal more intellectualized, as befits the setting. My story is quite involved, seeing as I was gaslighted by some of the country\u2019s leading minds. That\u2019s why I can\u2019t give you a quick and dirty rundown of what the hell I\u2019m talking about and am reduced to making cryptic pronouncements. It simply defies familiar categories of human behavior, so you\u2019ll have to read the book.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: No offense, but could you be deluded about the gaslighting?

It\u2019s a fair question. I ask only that people hear me out before trying to answer it. That\u2019s what the memoir is for. It\u2019s a rigorous defense of my sanity. At the end of the day it\u2019s for readers to judge whether yours truly is a crackpot or a lone crusader for truth. All I can do is make my strongest argument. If you\u2019re persuaded, great. If not, that\u2019s fine too. Readers have my permission to approach the book as literary fiction, if they wish.

So, yes, I suppose it is. The memoir is a meticulously argued highbrow conspiracy theory for inquiring minds, and I wear my tinfoil hat with pride. I don\u2019t endorse every conspiracy theory out there, of course. I don\u2019t believe the moon landings were faked or that the World Bank has been infiltrated by an alien race of reptilian shapeshifters.<\/p>\n Conspiracy theorists get a bad rap. But no matter the stereotypes we\u2019re not all alike, and our theories should be judged on their own merits. I know my allegations are stranger than fiction, but I think they hold up on close reflection. Plausible deniability is a thing, and extraordinary events do occur in the world from time to time. Did it all transpire exactly<\/em> as I\u2019ve theorized? Maybe not. Are my claims substantially true as to the big picture? I think so, but readers will judge for themselves. That\u2019s the fun of the book.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: Are you also a troll?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” custom_padding=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|10px|20px|10px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true”]<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> An agitator perhaps, but not a troll.

My strategy here may be unorthodox, but it was born of necessity, as the memoir explains. Stanford embraces diversity, so it shouldn\u2019t begrudge such transgressive undertakings. This kind of book isn\u2019t without precedent, by the way. William F. Buckley went after his alma mater in God and Man at Yale<\/em>. John Leboutillier went after his in Harvard Hates America<\/em>. Now it\u2019s Stanford\u2019s long overdue turn in the spotlight. That\u2019s just an occupational hazard of being a preeminent university. Academia is a dog-eat-dog world, and I\u2019m punching up here, doing my bit to hold the elites to account, so please spare me the crocodile tears.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: I don\u2019t bother with conservative screeds.

But, as the memoir clarifies, I\u2019m simply taking liberal principles to their logical conclusion, not defending conservatism as an overarching worldview. It\u2019s a mainstay of left-liberal thought that subtle forms of white, male, or heterosexual privilege blind us to the subterranean inequalities perpetrated by dominant ideologies. I\u2019m bringing that critical spirit to bear on the ideologies of academia and the chattering class. By exposing the gaslighting, I expose those ideologies.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: But isn\u2019t it common knowledge that academia is fertile soil for all sorts of irrationality? Most academics would acknowledge this much, so what\u2019s new here? ” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” custom_padding=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|10px|20px|10px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true”]<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Elites may be tempted to say, \u201cSure, we have prejudices and biases. We\u2019re only human, too, and have never denied that. So, there\u2019s nothing to see here. Please move on.\u201d And yet some of these same people display a keen, highly theorized interest in the alleged prejudices of other social strata, or at least approve of that interest. The blas\u00e9 banalization of academic irrationality is an ideological deflection mechanism. It\u2019s like discounting critical race theory and such with the refrain that everyone knows slavery and segregation were wrong\u2014a dismissal that won\u2019t get much traction in elite circles. So, the banalization is really a kind of privilege, enjoyed by those who, as Bourdieu observes in Homo Academicus<\/em>, \u201cwish to objectify without being objectified.\u201d The memoir takes aim at that privilege. It\u2019s one thing to acknowledge academic irrationality with low-resolution platitudes but quite another to examine it under a psychophilosophical microscope in human subjects research. That\u2019s what the memoir accomplishes.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: Is this a revenge memoir?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” custom_padding=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|10px|20px|10px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true”]A:<\/strong> Vengeance in moderation is a virtue, if reasonably proportioned to its causes. I leave to readers to judge whether I\u2019ve hit that golden mean. My personal motives aside, I stress that the memoir is about a good deal more than just me. Viewed through a narrow lens, my saga was utterly sui generis. But grasped philosophically, it distilled forces that are structural to academia, and key events in the memoir make sense only as manifestations of those forces\u2014which are hardly unique to Stanford.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: Why aren\u2019t these the grievances of a disgruntled former employee?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” custom_padding=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|10px|20px|10px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true”]A:<\/strong> In whatever sphere the ruling class will have a vested interest in attributing structural inequalities to the personal shortcomings of those protesting the inequalities. Conservatives may do this to defend the status quo of race and class, but the liberal elites will do the same to protect their outsized symbolic capital, which the memoir problematizes. Given Stanford\u2019s vast power advantage, \u201cdisgruntled former employee\u201d may resonate in certain elite circles. But I don\u2019t think the ad hominems will hold up in the long run, as I\u2019m confident fair-minded readers will adopt a less hackneyed interpretation of my claims. Time will tell if that confidence is justified.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: Are you claiming victimhood?” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” custom_padding=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|10px|20px|10px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”20px|35px|20px|35px|true|true”]<\/p>\n A:<\/strong> Philosophically speaking, I\u2019m a victim of the times. Interpersonally speaking, I\u2019m both a victim and a victimizer, as we are all. I faced more than my share of microaggressions at Stanford, as would anyone resisting the elites\u2019 hegemony over higher education, and I do draw rhetorically on the grievance culture. That said, I also try to stay clear of facile black-and-white moral judgments, so don\u2019t expect straightforward answers to such questions.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q: Why are you only now going public with these allegations, over a decade after the relevant events?

As you\u2019ll appreciate once you get through the book, making my case was never going to be easy. My argument is pretty strong now, I believe, but it took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get it there. Additionally, I wanted to have the more theoretical companion volumes I mentioned available to interested readers, at least as advanced drafts. These alone were several dissertations\u2019 worth of writing. Pile my day job on top of it all and there was no way I could have been ready any sooner to break my silence. <\/p>\n So the long delay shouldn\u2019t raise eyebrows. I\u2019m actually glad the memoir is only now being released. Tell someone ten years ago that you\u2019d been gaslighted and they likely would have had no clue what you were saying. Today there\u2019s greater awareness of gaslighting. People understand it\u2019s a problem and will listen to survivors.
