Peter Thiel isn't a deep reader of anything. Like many of the recent rightwing conservative businessmen pandering to this or that philosophical or religious trend, you can clearly see from everything he spent most of his life working instead of reading.
Powerful people have little taste and do not study. They like to work, not to read or to think. They are the topmost wagecuck. Never trust powerful people, especially if they pretend to have ideas.

Yarvin will never be anything more than a nebbish, neurotic Jew. And, to his credit, I think he's stopped pretending to be otherwise, judging by his Twitter.

This, his Straussian Moment paper is legit good, but the fact that he cherry picked the New Testament when it comes to the Antichrist, ignoring what Rev 13 has to say and implies via the role of technology via the Beast, on top of his pontifications about One Punch in relation to the Antichrist, shows that he has spent too much time around large amounts of money and/or doing drugs while watching anime.

Karp though is lucid and it'll be interesting to see if he'll be able to manage the powers of Palantir between his supposedly loyalty to American values vs Israel.

anon, were you born yesterday? karp is jewish and has openly stated that he's afraid of christians killing him. he has no allegiance to america
>>
>>24921197
To me, this just sounds like massive left-wing cope. It's really embarrassing that all of your silly ideologies revolve solely about gratifying your meaningless desires and pretending to own the conservatives.
>>
>>24921267
There is no jewish conspiracy anon. You people are just demented.
>>
>>24921267
He's a proclaimed lefty American-first nationalist and the entire Palantir enterprise is aware of the dangerous, totalitarian liable dual use of their software, hence the point of the name. Karp recently totally sidestepped a question about Fuentes in a clear attempt to not build animosity if the far right continues to rise.

So no arguments, then, gotcha

Karp is evil

Legitimate religious warfare feels less fantastical than it did a few years ago. There are fewer Christians than there used to be but the ones that have stuck around, or converted in new, seem more militant than before. Christians were always the load-bearing structure of religious peace: Muslims will be violent no matter what, and Jews are always down for violence and subversion. But as long as Christians never hit back at either of them, things could be peaceful. We may not be able to count on that for much longer.

anon, you really have to learn what it takes to become a billionaire. arguably the most important trait is psychopathy
he's jewish, he's a billionaire and he's the founder of a company that spies on people and openly gives data to israelis to continue their expansion. what the fuck more do you need? a stick figure drawing? the amount of wealthy "american" jews who look down on americans are countless but where are all the wealthy american jews who actually love americans? this isn't theoretical physics

Peter Thiel has not demonstrated any comprehension of any literary concept, it is not a coincidence that all of his actions are directly antithetical to the morality of the New Testament, Tolkien, Girard, he is a wanna be intellectual who was handed billions by the CIA and succumbed to base desires of material power and dominion as a cog in the military economy, as it was easier than living and dying by original thought. Insecure about his lack of any impact on human enlightenment, he name drops incessantly for the sake of his narcissism and pays a lot of dull toadies and bots mimicking them to inflate his ego, but living off incomprehensible evil and violence he seems to be entirely blinded to what is good and decent. "Left wingers" or an ideology that advocates for structures to protect life as much as conceivably possible have always and will always dominate culture and thought, but always struggle to hold material power as dominion is naturally contradictory to all their concepts. The entire Western Canon is more "left wing" than any political ideology that presently exists (which is why it is immortal as opposed to political ideologies), including Tolkien, including the New Testament; Girard's conception of human nature as well demands mass enlightenment and the destruction of material accumulation and state violence as a precondition. Thiel understands at some level the contradictions between his position and good thought that he admires and it is why his recent essays question every position endlessly and don't assert any truth, because he is fundamentally afraid of confronting it. This is why when he sold PayPal he went on a manic screed to his shareholders that they must do away with their material possessions or they will not ascend to heaven. I believe his immortality project is an attempt to buy himself time to be a positive impact on humanity, because he is subconsciously tortured about how much damage his position as the beneficiary of a one world surveillance system means has done against Christian apocalypse which I do believe he sincerely desires on some level, I will give him some leeway though because no matter how damaging to his individual his sin is, he is a cog like everyone who benefits off evil, and the CIA was going to create Palantir and Anduril and anything else with or without him, he just so happens to have tens of billions because of it.

>billionaires are all actually stupider than me they're all just rich because they're more evil than me (t. noble minimum wage scholar who would DEFINITELY be rich if I wasn't so busy reading and doing praxis)
not even a fan of thiel but this cope is getting very very boring
>>
>>24922171
Spiritual enlightenment and material dominion are antithetical.
>>
>>24922181
another cope to justify self imposed poverty (the self imposed part is a cope too)
copes within copes
>>
>>24921078
just listen to him talk or an interview with him thiel is just not very bright and has basically 0 deep understanding of anything, faggots are retarded. (this seems to be the case for anyone I've heard who likes girard)
Karp is just a jew.
>all these le right wing posts
thiel has like 0 right wing views he just repeats whatever justifies the CIA technodystopia that got him started he's part of the same machine epstein is from.
>>
>>24922184
I am not poor I simply do as much meaningless labor as I can to give myself as much time as I can to pursue something meaningful and potentially beneficial to humanity, I wish to be as minimally as possible interfering with the time of others, I have much more important things to do with my time than working for others or attempting to enslave others with maximal efficiency, you just sound like you don't conceive of any higher aspiration than money
>>
>>24922171
introverted vs extroverted thinking, actual deep understanding is actually contrary to being practical. extroverted thinkers are able to organize and implement ideas extremely well and that is what business/organization actually is.
and karp/thiel literally just bought some CIA spinoffs they were groomed into by the intel agencies that got them started they aren't what I'd called extroverted thinking geniuses or something. Musk I would call that though. He is similarly retarded but actually does extremely impressive stuff.
>>
>>24922190
>pursue something meaningful and potentially beneficial to humanity
and that would be?

>>24921197
Well there's your problem, equating right wing with "powerful", is a very subversive tactic there, Molech.

I read Girards “I saw Satan fall like lightning” and will vouch for its importance. A fascinating book in its own way.
>>
>>24922227
Based.

Although saying you want to enjoy art and literature can be merely viewed as just one other kind of self-enjoyment, aesthetic pleasure
is the best kind of activity because it is striving to be self-conscious
at all times. People with no taste spend their time trying to forget
themselves, in being social, in falling into the habits of work, or games.

We are only free as long as we remain self-conscious, aesthetic
pleasure and challenging creative activities have for the purpose
to activate both the senses and your cognitive capabilities, without
any taking all focus to itself.
>>
>>24921078
Things will never change until the intelligence agencies, underground military-industrial-complex lairs and defense contractor facilities are stormed and the glowniggers and parasites who work there are executed and the data they collect is leaked to the public so that the rest of these government assets, zogbots, mercenaries, glorified jannies and authority figures can be hunted down and exterminated.

>>24921078
And is a quick study on Satanism.
hm
Does this thread mean we should be happy to see him elect himself one of our leaders?
>>
>>24921270
I'm nowhere close to being left-wing, but I agree with anon.
>Powerful people have little taste and do not study. They like to work, not to read or to think. They are the topmost wagecuck. Never trust powerful people, especially if they pretend to have ideas.
This is very accurate.
>>
>>24922291
NTA but by all means I would love to hear what you conceive of as meaningful or beneficial to humanity that runs so counter to these
>>
>>24921225

Woah, is that Motley Crue?
>>
>>24921197
You think Thiel is right wing? You think Thiel is a business man? He is the most obvious CIA spook ever, spawned out of the depths of jewish heaven (hell) to dominate the gentiles in a totalitarian NWO scenario. He derives his NRx philosophy from the joint work of an obese programmer and a prolific fart-pederast. You leftoids are so far behind the times it's embarrassing.
>>
>>24921274
Most things people say about them are true though. They do own the banks, the media, the US/UK/various other Western countries' governments etc. etc. What a time to live in where this is a completely uncontroversial observation.

We're in the age of Egghead Homos and Boomer Narcissists, sure.
