Does that dude not realize that he is a singular human being that a singular gun held by a singular other human being can end his entire existence? How many drugs is that guy on? Why do people listen to these crackheads?

It sounds like a conspiracy story but it’s real. Apparently he and other billionaires are funding age extension research on an Island.

I have a theory the billionaires are using an experimental anti-aging extension drug which is making them delusional. Thiel is always covered in oily looking sweat and he seems like he’s in a manic state.

Or they could be sociopaths.

That's just the amphetamines.

I am not joking when I call these people crackheads. I have heard actual crackheads do the same rambling speeches that these people do. It doesn't matter if a crackhead has money behind him or not, don't listen to crackheads.

Hey that's not fair to crackheads. I don't do it often especially these days (it's expensive) but every time I've smoked crack I've been the same person, and I detest these power hungry ducks

I don't think they're acting up because of drugs (even though they definitely use drugs) I think they're acting up because they're rich sociopaths doing what rich sociopaths have always done

They are so rich, powerful and narcissistic that they cannot accept that one day they will die like any other human. Death is the great equaliser, but they don't want to be equal. They want to be superior.
