And that’s basically it!
He is desperate that people regard him as a deep and serious thinker. The trouble is, no interesting thought has ever crossed his mind. This is the reason for his pathetic hatred of academics. His university professors rightly saw a useless dweeb with an outrageous sense of self regard.
I think we should allow everyone to introduce themselves
He's a man of wealth, and taste
And has been around for a long long year
Definitely wealth. I haven't tasted him yet
Of course I know him. He's me.
Don does like it when people talk about him, but I doubt he could sit through four lectures
So he’s just gonna be there showing PowerPoint slideshows of him and his buddies? Lol.
considering it's Peter Thiel doing this, nothing good can come from this.
You would think that a gay billionaire who’s obsessed with making himself immortal and putting forward intense surveillance and ushering in AI gods fervently would be most Christian’s definition of the antichrist. I know it’s mine, and I’m not even Christian anymore.
Edit: I am fine with the gay part, I just want to make that extremely clear before everyone rips me to shreds for being homophobic. I just think Thiel is evil.
The gay part is what makes it crazy, he thinks his money will protect him? The homophobia in the christian world is insane. Just because they're nice to your face, that doesn't mean they wouldn't hang you from a tree if they could. Fake nice is their thing.
Imagine I give you $100,000 today, tomorrow and every day thereafter. How long until you get tired of getting $100,000 each day?
After only a few days, most people's financial problems would be solved. After ten days, you will have received 1 million dollars. After a few months, you will have been able to purchase anything you've ever dreamed of.
How long, then, until money is meaningless to you?
Do you know how long it takes to have received 1 billion dollars?
27.4 years.
27.4 years of receiving $100,000 every day. A billion dollars is 10,000 $100,000s.
Some people have hundreds of billions of dollars. It is an astronomical number.
You can't imagine how much that amount of money changes a person. You will absolutely lose your mind and yourself.
No one should ever even possess anywhere near that level of money. It's way too much power.
People conflate rich people with millionaires and casually lump billionaires in with that group.
They are not the same. Billionaires are shells of humans, filled with the putrid sludge of a soul completely consumed by greed.
Do not listen to them. Do not believe them. They only tell you things they want you to believe. They will take everything from you, including your life.
A hard upper limit would solve a lot of problems in the world. Like once you reach a billion dollars you die immediately.
Do not listen to them. Do not believe them. They only tell you things they want you to believe. They will take everything from you, including your life.
say crazy illogical thing
do crazy illogical thing
deliver instructions on what he wants you to do
tells a logical truth

I like you pigup! You're 100% on the spot here.
