This week in : “Cooked billionaires”
The Catholic Church is working with the Communists? Yeah okay.
It is the ol good cop bad cop = controversy. Farm outrage self fulfilling prophecy. Loops, dupes and poops. Hey look at me bla bla bla…. I got your nose. Flood the zone they will never know.
It makes sense for a posthuman moron like Thiel to look more and more like a caricature of Frankenstein’s monster with every picture. We need to update our classic to the “clankerstein; the dumbass Prometheus.”
Prometheus
… but instead of stealing the secret of fire from the gods to gift to humanity, he stole their garbage to sell to idiots.
I seriously wonder if this guy actually believes what he’s saying or if he’s just saying it to fool the most gullible and naive investors.
I don’t know which of the two possibilities is worse…
He says whatever he believes will gain him the most money.
Guy is just unhinged. He did a lecture series about the antichrist.
He’s gay, talking about the antichrist and trying to discredit the pope.
I think it’s propaganda.
The thing about lies is, if you tell them enough, you begin to genuinely believe them yourself.
“I don’t know which of the two possibilities is worse…”
The theme of the 21st century.
It doesn’t get a lot of play, because it’s kind of obtuse, but he has extremely strong beliefs; they’re just ones that don’t preclude him saying this stuff to fool investors. There were a few pieces that have been written about it, and they flared up again after his weird antichrist lectures last year.
The article hints at it it, but basically, he subscribes/contributes to an extreme variant of an obscure religion-adjacent philosophy that posits that the social stability benefits of an authoritarian Christian monoculture, preferably over the whole world due to some quirks of Christian theology, but certainly at least in the parts of the world where Christianity is a majority religion, are so amazing that they’re worth pretending that it’s all actually factually true, and that a surveillance state to preserve harmony (and, surprise side effect, it also locks in the power of the elites who establish it all!) is completely acceptable. Theoretically the Christianity part is optional, but there is a lot of risk inherent in not relying on the historical social glue.
To him, seeking this is for the good of humankind. Anything that opposes any of it with any sort of sway, and especially from a Christian context, can be fairly called an antichrist. It’s some serious Leto II God Emperor of Dune shit.
Idk about that, he’s in a group that includes this Yarvin douchebag that is a thought leader amongst them.
Mostly, I think he’s just so egotistical and so far up his own ass that he has completely conflated his own self-interest, instincts, hobbies, and ego with literally saving the world. Legitimately held beliefs are not necessarily legitimate beliefs.
I do have to admit I enjoy his big-ackshully energy that reveals itself when people call him out on the Palantir name.
He is the devil though.
He looks like something phrenologists would obsess over
He looks like he’s missing bolts in his neck.
What a fucking idiot. He looks like Frankenstein’s monster before he died.
I’m wondering what the audience reaction to this claim was cause I would’ve started laughing like a maniac.
Are the Chinese Communist working for the Antichrist?
Is this guy literally running around just telling absolutely anyone that will listen absolutely whatever they want to hear?
No one’s laughed in this man’s face and asked him if he was high for a long time, huh.
Well, I think his underlings know he’s high but they probably know better than to point it out
I meant more in the “denigrating the bullshit that just came out of your mouth” way
Would you like to know more about this monster?
Behind the Bastards did a four-parter (the Gravedigger of Democracy series, on YouTube)
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part FourBTB did another two-parter series Peter Thiel and the Antichrist which I haven’t listened to yet, but I assume is about Thiel’s recent speaking tour talking about how we’re now in the end of days.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a picture of this guy and God damn is he goofy looking.
He can find young men to sell him their blood, but he hasn’t found one who will sell him his face yet, but he’s working on it. If you’re a handsome guy, you really don’t want to give that up.
He really is a weird creature.
This is Peter Thiel’s monster. Peter Thiel is the brain tumor in its head.
Oh my god holy shit first time I see a photo of him and he really looks like Frankenstein’s monster
What A24 movie is he speedrunning?
I never realized how much thiel resembles Sloth from the Goonies…
This sounds like something Grok would say.
Is this guy maybe just a meat puppet for an LLM? Has it begun?
