I can imagine a future where people like this have caused so much damage they are hunted.
Thiel is already frightened of the public, I’ve seen reporters approach him and he looked like he was wearing a vest and was in a state of complete dread practically running away. But his face just kind of looks like it’s melting anyway, he has a hint of palpatine about him, pure evil.
So says a horseman of the Apocalypse. A plague of eyes.
And who does Peter work for? Isn’t he the migrant to the US who is looking to move to Argentina?
Truly, once you pass a certain threshold of capital accumulation nothing can dethrone you. Not even your brain being turned to mush. The things Thiel says are the ravings of a lunatic. If he weren't an oligarch they'd put him away. And obviously he's not the only one. One has to wonder if perhaps it is the power itself that drives a man mad. There ought to be a marginal wealth tax that starts wherever the gains to happiness begin to diminish and build exponentially towards 100% at, say, 1000x the median net worth of a single individual. The way things are isn't good for us or them.
Money does this to people. Because money is power. And power corrupts absolutely.
Money also happens to reward and promote the worst kind of behaviors, so the richest people tend to already be the most psychopathically aligned.
Personally, I think an absolute cap on income, wealth, assets, and a limit of 1 focused business owned, with huge punishments for going beyond the limits. The elite get away with evading contributing to society, because there is an entire Wealth Defense industry to protect them from consequences. Making it impossible to hide money would be key to eliminating fiscal obesity and political corruption.
Please stop reporting all the stupid things billionaires say.
I'm so fucking glad more and more are recognizing how crazy Peter Thiel is.
Elon Musk is outwardly crazy and ruining the fucking world.
Peter Thiel (who btw is Musk's inspiration and good friend) is batshit insane and avoiding the limelight for decades while manipulating world politics.
I thought thiel and musk personally hated the fuck out of each other, and describe each other pretty accurately?
There is no scorn as between that of competitive nerd losers.
thiel for the longest time always stayed out of the news because of this. AI going bust probably getting people like him all nervous.
Peter Thiel is literally insane. The money has gone to his head, much the same way it happened to Elon Musk.
The research is very clear in this field, becoming so rich that you are always surrounded by yes people makes you delusional very quickly, and over time the delusions accumulate to become outright insanity.

Sooo.... dragon sickness?
lol kind of but not exactly. It's not the money itself, or the hoarding, it's the sense of being right that stem from the ability to hoard successfully, and people around them that support that sense. It gives a sense that they understand things they really don't, and that they can do things themselves that it is really people around them that do for them.

Sick fuck is just a clown in the Middle Kingdom.
Peter Thiel is a bad person. I don't know how else to describe him. There are quiet billionaires who are like this behind closed doors, and then there are those that are vocally just bad people. No billionaire is a good person.
Even worse, actively, constantly, trying to convince others to be bad people as well.
I honestly wonder how these people sleep without being like...haunted by their own despicable selves.
If they had any conscience at all, they wouldn't be nearly that wealthy
I wonder how they eat without being poisoned by there cooks
What is truly mesmerizing is watching people conflate earning money with being smart about everything.
... or anything really.
Ever since that episode, the song plays in my head whenever I read his name.
Peter Thiel knows about the Anti-Christ 🎵
I hope a gorilla escapes and rips this guy's head off on live stream
That made me laugh out loud 😂
(Pic related hahaha)

Didn't he also claim the literal Pope is in cahoots with the literal Antichrist?
If he had less money he'd probably be one of the local homeless crazies or a resident at a mental institution. Not heard a single sane take from this guy yet.
He'd have a youtube channel for sure spewing this shit.
In an insane world the sane appear to be insane. Many of the homeless crazies will be sane at heart but can't cope with this world.
Yeah, my comment shouldn't read as a criticism of the less fortunate or more principled among us, but rather of who is successful in our current system.
Are the Chinese Communists who aren't building their own AI in the room with us now?
What an idiot.
What a robust looking man! Can he not just fuck off and do a McConnell already?
He believes he's going to live to be 150, partially through infusions of blood from young men, one of which was likely JD Vance.
he defenestrated his young boyfriend, whos a side piece, he was apparently also using the blood from him to achieve longevity. he likely moved on to the clavicular,(i suspect)
Never heard that word in all my years, thanks! Learned a new word!
The US should do to the Catholic Church what we did to TikTok. I'm not going to feel safe until all the American diocese are owned by a fascist billionaire looking to milk the congregation's data for AI training.

If you are attacking the Catholic Pope for being a foreign agent of Communism... You might be the Antichrist. If you back the company that is named after the evil all-seeing orb in the Lord of the Rings... You might be the Antichrist. If you obsessively see any opposition or person trying to fight the climate crisis as "The Antichrist"... You might be the Antichrist. If you think Freedom, Democracy, and Governments are the enemies of good... You might be the Antichrist. If you think being against fascism is a bad thing... You might be the Antichrist. If you think humanity shouldn't exist anymore because you believe in Transhumanism and not humanism... You might be the Antichrist.
He has suggested that the Antichrist is with us. He has said who it is in his speeches.
This is no joke, he thinks it probably is Greta Thunberg.
All hail Greta!
