Bet you never thought you’d read that combination of words anywhere other than on the back of a Dan Brown book, did you.
(article is paywalled, unfortunately, but there’s enough there to get the gist)
The only thing I can appreciate Elon Musk and Peter Thiel for is their tireless work proving that being too rich causes mental illness.
Does it cause mental illness, or do you need some level of mental illness to pursue that level of wealth?
Yes and yes
Next up on Hoarders… Elon Musk. This person has hoarded billions of dollars, let’s watch his road to recovery.
He’d be like one of those hoarders that even breaks the psychologist. I read he was living in his x office with the assistant he was having kids with in a room that had all kinds of live wires hanging from the ceiling. He was doing this because he’s too cheap to buy or rent a house. The wires were hanging from the ceiling because he didn’t want to pay a contractor to fix them so he told an engineer to do it or he was fired. So I am a contractor and I know that you don’t touch another trades work for safety reasons and god knows what was going on with that. So yeah dude is seriously mentally ill
It’s a hoarding disorder
Behind the bastards did an episode on this where they read a supposed transcript from the first day and it’s quite interesting. Also notes on the other days. In short Peter Thiel believes that the Antichrist is anyone who threatens in any way the business and financial interest of Peter Thiel. Also weirdly for a Christian he seems to think we should stop the Antichrist, which I guess will also stop Jesus from coming back but I don’t think he’s thought it through I don’t know.
I’m 1000% convinced this guy has been smoking his own custom llm.
The fact that everything he’s describing as “the Antichrist” also perfectly describes himself, should be obvious to anyone with a shred of self-awareness. It blows my mind how many of these so-called “tech geniuses” are actually just really stupid people with a lot of money to burn.
I think the bit might be intentional. It’s trying to level up “the AI will bear a god whigh will exterminate all human life”.
Wow how very original.
The Pope is the AntiChrist?
Really?
I’m fairly sure that for at least the past 150 years, at least one either fairly prominent or at least fairly loud Protestant sect or denomination has been claiming the current Pope is the AntiChrist.
I grew up thinking that lol
Are you still a member of a suprisingly extreme branch of Christianity that just pretends it is normal, or did you bounce off of it, like I did, after actually reading a good deal of the Bible?
Oh yeah I’m an atheist now
I thought he said it was Greta tumberg? Well I guess we all know why he sent jd Vance to kill the pope. Is every pope an Antichrist? I mean I thought he’d be into the pope considering they’re both part of a pedofile cabal.
Antipope again?
That trick never works!
Just gonna leave this here, it’s a solid episode(part 2 as well)
Yeah, white supremacists dont consider catholics white
I guess that’s why he sent Vance to kill the last pope
And they should be dismissed for advocating nonsense
