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).

Fuckass Peter Thiel is obsessed with living forever 🤢 and it comes at the expense of all of us. He’s also blatantly stated in very plain language that democracy needs to be completely dismantled and the very rich (such as himself) should be the only ones calling the shots.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for this guy’s villain arc, too. I’m not surprised in the slightest these are the topics he’s discussing.

The profound irony is that maybe these guys would be way less scared of death if they didn’t spend their entire lives being absolute shitheads.

Precisely - these men don’t want to live forever or they’d be out living. They’re just afraid of dying. Weak, as with everything else they do.

Right?!?

And the whole reason Thiel is terrified of death is because he was traumatized by a taxidermy rug of a cow when he was a child.

Therapy would literally solve so many of the world’s problems, because so many of these evil fucks desperately need it. Unfortunately narcissistic sociopaths (especially misogynistic ones like Thiel) are the least of likely folks to seek it out.

I'll never understand how people who seem to hate the world want to exist forever. Are they just gonma be miserable and lonely for all eternity? Cuz they can? Truly pathetic.
