I obtained a recording of Peter Thiel's Nashville Antichrist lecture. He was asked to respond to something I wrote in @newrepublic.com epublic (below). He evaded the question, but responded: "I don't think I'm the Antichrist, [maybe I'm] lacking in self-awareness...You shouldn't trust me."

quote from Gil Duran story on Thiel and the Antichrist: Thiel co-founded Palantir, a software company literally named after an all-seeing orb controlled by an evil wizard in The Lord of the Rings. Palantir is partnering with the Trump administration to supercharge government surveillance at a moment when the president openly embraces authoritarianism. The irony is so striking it almost seems like a confession.

Meanwhile METR is being positioned as an "independent" group that is evaluating the "safety" of the systems being built by Anthropic et al. But they are neither independent nor investigating actual safety. And that, is the kind of story we need the press looking into around these goons.

This is a big part of why everyone keeps saying these people are "in a cult". It isn't necessarily one of those modern personalist high control cults (though the Rat community has spawned several of those too). It's a specifically learned alternative way of knowing that isn't based in the real world

Hunter Biden has done more to undercut efforts to investigate the Trump family's corruption than almost anyone else on the Democratic side. One of the key reasons Dems didn't investigate Kushner during Biden's presidency? They didn't want to shine a spotlight on Hunter's foreign funding, too.
