    The best part about the show: the ladies do not trash the subjects, but rather, the ladies let the subjects eviscerate themselves through their own acts, deeds and words.

    I love you two–and what you do–so much that I hesitate to come in hot like an asshat fact nerd. But I won't sleep or eat if I don't mention that the George Packer profile of Thiel was in The New Yorker, not The NY Times. Thank you. Great post otherwise, and now I'll go back to attending to my other thousand little obsessions that keep me hidden from the normal world.

    You know i was reall looking forward to this when this came up on my feed because i dont usually get new channles on my feed but this video is honestly not my style, i also dont like the man in question nut when insults are thrown left and rigth to the point that the whole video was just riddled with insults to point i dont get the point of the video. Just my take maybe this is how you do videos and its fine.

    If Thiel thinks he’s going to live to be 120 years old, he really needs to think again. He cannot do it that way. The “paleo” diet is a sad joke, and running really isn’t all that “good for you” either. He’ll be lucky if he makes it past 64, maybe 72 at best.

    Sociopath and psychopath are two words for the same thing. "Without Conscience" DR Robert Hare. Bernie Madoff was a psychopath as was Ted Bundy and both were also sociopaths as …two words for the same condition. "Need to do harm" does not figure into it, just the absence of a conscience.

    If you control the media you can convert the Party of Gay Orgies and Pedophile Supporters into the "Party of Family Values" for the idiots and evangelicals.

    Peter Thiel points to Greta Thunberg as the archetype of Antichrist. Thunberg has been a vocal opponent of what ICJ investigating as war crimes and genocide, but in contrast he is a primary funder and benefactor of Palantir, a company that provides AI and data analytics to military and intelligence agencies, including the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Therefore, he is directly profiting from and enabling the very machinery that is carrying out the violence that Thunberg is protesting against.

    When we apply Thiel's own theological framework to the real world, the labels appear to reverse:

    – The "Peace and Safety" He Fears: Thunberg's call for a ceasefire and an end to killing. This is a call for humanitarian peace and safety.
    – The "Peace and Safety" He Enables: A vision of "safety" achieved through overwhelming military dominance and surveillance, powered by his company's technology. This is a fortress peace and safety, built on the subjugation of others.

    From your perspective, and based on this logic, Thiel is not warning about the Antichrist; he is describing his own project. He condemns the concept of "peace and safety" while funding a system that imposes a violent, militarized version of it. He accuses a protester of being the Antichrist while his resources support the machinery of a war that has killed tens of thousands.

    This is the ultimate hypocrisy. GAZA IS A METHOD. The Antichrist Method. They are just testing it now.

    At 9:44: Apologies for my superficial comment. But here we see a photo of Elon Musk. It's obvious that his hair loss was quite advanced st that young age. Years later we see photos of him with a full head of hair. Onviously he had hair replacement surgery. I'm really gotta wondering why USA's facist dictator doesn't go that route, and avoid the worst combover in history.
