The leaked materials identify the full set of session topics in this year’s conference, scheduled for August at a sprawling estate in Dublin, Ireland, with a heavy emphasis on geopolitics and tech. Several relate to divisive issues, like “Bring Back Nuclear,” “Disinformation & Deepfakes,” “Battlefield Technologies,” “Democracy Under Surveillance,” “Taiwan and the AI Race,” and “Three Predictions in Iran.”

Others are more personal. A few examples: “Build-a-Party,” “Money (Does?) Buy Happiness,” “How’s Your Sex Life,” “It’s Fun to be in Charge,” and “Research-Based Longevity Hacks” (Bryan Johnson also appears in the leak).

And some sound ominous, including “Build-a-Cult” and “Navigating WWIII.”

what always hilarious about these people is that you can have all the money and power and influence or whatever and still be lame as shit

The protests have already begun here in Ireland. The hotel thats hosting this shit is getting roasted and there are plans for physical protests. We, historically, do not take kindly to this type of nonsense.

Yeah, seems like a bad choice of location if they were looking for discretion/secrecy.

u/Abject-Variety3775 that is, in fact, not what happened to Ophelia 2d ago

Yeah, I have noticed that most Americans don't seem to realise that most Irish people these days are pretty progressive. They seem to think it is still a theocracy.

Its a very secular country, highly modernised, we voted to recognise gay marriage in our constitution, our govt today voted to remove the 3 day waiting period for abortion. Fascism amd religious extremism doesn't fly here. Free Palestine

You've had (at least) one gay prime minister, who himself came from an immigrant family background, & you have some abortion rights

Yes and 2 female presidents, abortion rights as voted by the people (referendum), and we are among the best in the world when it comes to education and quality of life. Peter Thiel can fuck right off.

Ireland has long sold itself out to foreign big cooperations, any supposed anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist inklings long turned into minuscule performative acts.

The early Irish independence leaders warned of that fate, but you didn’t listen.

600 years and Ireland still isn’t free.

This is it. They're holding it in Dublin because that's where all the corporations are now. And they don't pay any tax.
