Peter Thiel is a weird freak and a real danger to the world.
Yet he is going around the world.lecturing about the Antichrist.
Takes one to know one innit?
His definition of the anti-christ is literally anyone that opposes his personal politics and business interests. AI-skeptics (which he describes as "luddites"), advocates for measures to fight climate change, and globalists/anti-nationalists/international cooperatives.
Which is why billionaires should not exist. When you got enough money your toys are people's lives while you have fun trying to shape socities cause that's what you want.
We got enough issues before they all decided to play with their toys. I'd say no one on a planet scale should have as much influence as these people do for a functioning society.
Okay maybe when we have Dune level of planets (tens of thousands) in our realm...but not when we got one planet where some dipshit can destroy half the world by making a decision. Oh didn't mean the other obvious one this time but yeah still agree. He's only rich off a good bubble (co-founded paypal and invested in Facebook early) and probably off of other people's suffering. He got lucky with money and now has power to control how things work in many societies. I say societies cause I assume he has influence over other countries in some way.
•In 2009, JP Morgan hired Palantir to monitor it's employees, allegedly to look out for dishonest trading. However a Palantir backed security chief was allegedly caught spying on bank executives and was forced to resign in 2013.
•Coincidentally, for whatever reason, 2013 was also the year JP Morgan finally stopped doing business with Epstein, despite Epstein being previously arrested for "soliciting prostitution" with a minor in 2008 and deemed a reputational liability by the bank's general counsel in 2011.
•In 2011, Epstein decided he was interested in Bitcoin and requested a phone call with the successor 2 days before a big meeting to pitch Bitcoin to the CIA
•By 2015 Epstein and Thiel are casually discussing destabilizing the middle east.
•Between 2015 and 2016, Epstein invested $40M in Thiel's firm Valar.
•By 2017, Epstein is bloviating about Bitcoin, quantum computing and AI
•Last Fall, senator Roy Wydan called for an investigation into JP Morgan Bank Records, but JP Morgan would not hand them over without a subpoena. On the same day, democrats in both the House and Senate tried to subpoena those records but were blocked by Republicans.
•In 2025, Peter Thiel received preliminary approval for the first U.S. Cryptobank and JP Morgan announced they would begin to allow Bitcoin and Ether as collateral.
It sure would be interesting to know what those bank transactions between Thiel and Epstein were all about. It's interesting Epstein to such an interest in crypto just in time for traditional banks to finally draw the line on doing business with him.
I hope to see Thiel swinging from a noose someday
I wonder if we'll ever get past the whole destabilizing foreign governments for personal gain phase.
Nah, people being shitty is our Great Filter.
So pedantic
I hope this as well, however I also know that this is an American institution that has made a lot of people very rich and very powerful.

PNAC: >> Wesley Clark “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran
Listening to Epstein try to spell out Palentir to Ehud Barak was quite the trip, and a learning experience how much of this so called "mastermind" that guy really was.
