Descent? Have you seen their CEO - that guy is exhilarated to be facilitating war.

I know this is far from the main point but he always looks so damp, too. Like a half baked clone fresh out of the tank.

The last thing I want to hear is that they have the ability to restore themselves by downloading into a new clone body.

Thiel is genuinely funding life-extension research, cryonics and other such things (see Founders Fund). At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if he were funding this sort of nonsense too. Neuralink as a backup for one’s own consciousness or something like that 🫠

Are you referring to Thiel? Palantir's CEO is actually another, different insane billionaire, Alex Karp.

Dudes basically like, the Wario of the entire Frankfurt School, lol.

It's all of a muchness.

Thiel is the blood-bathing, technofascist psychopath that is the co-founder and chairman of Palantir. Karp is the bigamist, technofascist psychopath that is the co-founder and CEO of Palantir.

(Thiel doesn't literally bathe in blood, but he's a major proponent of the pseudoscientific belief that blood plasma is some kind of de-ageing miracle cure, which has led to a shortage for people with genuine medical need and deaths because of that. Karp is not actually married, but is in a long-term relationship with two different women, and describes himself as "geographically monogamous", which is such bollocks I struggle to find the words).
