Peter Thiel’s ‘Dialog’ network was super-secret. A data leak changed that

A data leak has exposed private data on billionaire Peter Thiel’s “Dialog,” an invitation-only network of high-profile figures.

Dude is really leaning into the "let's be the illuminati" bit, huh?

So, I'm not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hang out together, virtually or IRL. I mean, we all find our tribe eventually.

I'm not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hanging out together come up with schemes of mutual benefit. I'd be surprised if they didn't.

I've always thought of the Illuminati as a thing beyond that. Like, some kind of quasi-religious thing that transcends mere greed and grift. Maybe we've just reached the point in capitalism where oligarch collusion is indistinguishable from world domination, because enough of our governments have already ceded authority to their corporate overlords.

"Fascism is capitalism in decay"

Turns out "capitalist democracy" is an oxymoron, because every business is a plutocracy/oligarchy, that rewards psychopathy because morality is less profitable, who inevitably end up using their capital to corrupt everything in their favor (politicians, regulators, media, military, the entire population, etc).

It's actually kind of mentally ill that everyone just accepts democracy can coexist alongside systemic structural inequality, but I guess religion already proves that humans are just talking apes who'll believe anything.

We democratized our politics, but failed to democratize our workplaces and economies.

He knows about the Antichrist

Cory Booker and Jared Polis.

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Strauss Zelnick - Chairman & CEO, Take-Two Interactive Software.

having read nothing about him personally but plenty about how Take-Two acts as a company, I am not even slightly surprised that the head of Take-Two is the sort of chode that jives with Thiel and other techbro right-wing fascists.

Sophia Bush seems like a wildly random inclusion...

Yeah her and JGL seem like outliers overall, I feel like I read something about him specifically being into something sketch a while back but can’t quite remember what, either way was surprised to see both those names.

Sophia’s entry is particularly hilarious because apparently simply being on One Tree Hill brings a lot of influence all on its own

And Ezra Klein.

Vote BLUE NO Matter WHO (UNLESS that Person is Mamdani! THEN vote INDEPENDENT!)!

Who wants to start a super secret group chat?

We are currently clean on OPSEC.

We're always clean on OPSEC, yo!

Super secret, but can we keep the topics as boring as humanly possible?

This is the way! Making the use of privacy tools for no other reason than you support their existence should really be the norm.

yes please!

Dr. . Peter Attia is a Canadian-American physician and author who specializes in longevity and life optimization.

Super tight with Epstein

That longevity didn't work out for Epstein though...

Weird seeing Sophia Bush and Joseph Gordon-Levitt on a list of CEOs and Politicians.

Kaja Kallas on the list 😱

Curtain pulled back a little on the ruling class and how they control ideas and corrupt apparent "opposition"
