Ezra Klein being on the list is so fucking funny. Like, you telling me the “abundance” guy associates with the “techno monarchy” guy? Shocked I tell you, that the guy who’s proposed ideological concept basically just boiled down to “what if we deregulated stuff further to make economy good?” Is deeply tied to tech oligarchs.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Update 6/16/2026, 5:47 pm EDT: WIRED updated this article to correct a conflation of two people named Jeff Epstein. A small revision was also made to address a security concern raised by a Dialog representative.
Note the wording: revision, not correction. So they allowed the subject of the piece a role in editorial decisionmaking. That's a really fucking shitty look, Wired.
Jens Spahn. What a fucking disgrace
So they've been working together and planning all this shit for at least 20 years, you think? *idly sharpens guillotine*
I got a linked in job offer come to me and their pro talking points was Peter Thiel was a board member. So instant delete. Like how tone def are recruiters
I remember watching Bond movies as a kid and wondering "where did that evil supervillian get all these henchmen?" Turns out the answer all-along was "linkedin.".

They just ate the illusions capitalism threw at them. You'd be surprised about the number of people who simply don't care that their lives are run by shadow elites who destroy the world as long as they can watch TV and go on holidays.
Panem et circenses, 2000 years later, still works. You just need to make people believe they're the winners of capitalism and they'll support every ugly bit of it.
It doesnt hurt when they also use their mountains of cash and control of mass media and news production and outlets to champion voices supporting them, silence dissenting voices, stoke nationalism and xenophobia, and generally bend and warp popular culture to make fun of those who spend their time learning and doing well in school, educating themselves about history, gathering as workers, making patient, informed purchases-
the whole thing collapses when you look behind the curtain, everyone just hopes it's not that bad, that the next big one happens after they die, and their kids can't come knocking on their door to ask what the actual fuck were they thinking
was thiel one of the founders/financiers of that company. i know thiel likes to be in the shadows while actually controlling his companies.
Not sure, I lost interest as soon as I saw he was involved.
Cory Booker, no surprise there.
he always seemed slimy. not surprised tulsi and ted cruz is also in there. especially tulsi is into cults.
and Jared Polis
Where can we get a list of names? The archive.is link isn't working
LOL Ted Cruz is right there next to all the CEOs
there are a bunch of other congressmen to. not really surprised bryan johnson is on there, the freak is has drank the koolaid on "blood boy" that thiel is also into(getting blood from his hot young male model who got defenestrated, and likely using clavicular now), bryan johnson basically gets young blood from his son and injects it to himself. he really believes his own bs/pseudoscience of staying young.
It's a big club, and we ain't in it.
The worst of the worst
It's not surprising to see names like Sam Harris and Steven Pinker on there.
My strong opinions on the matter could disrupt the neoliberal conformity and immobilism that beehaw calls well-being.
I mean this is a list of people actively being intolerant of the world... paradox of tolerance applies here.
Popper was a rabid liberal.
Well isn't that just so fucking lovely
