This is a hastily done post. But this is why I am doing it.
The following video is a 3 hour plus discussion/interview with the cofounder of PayPal, Peter Thiel. It is an interview I have not even watched yet. But, someone on Twitter posted 7 short clips which summarize very important topics. And that frankly, was some of the simplest and most important truths that shape our landscape that I have seen to date. From the short clips, it does not say why these things are as they describe them. But from the point of view of this site and its audience, we get confirmation of important things we all kinda knew, but now we can in fact know, that is, if we can take Peter at his word.
One example is how in most arenas including the Vatican, you cannot get into any position of real power unless the top tier has Kompromat on you. The example he gives is that you cannot make it to Cardinal unless you are homosexual in the Catholic Church. I think we all kinda know this. It is in part why they are trying to invent some on Trump, and if they can’t make it stick, they will try and kill him. Did I get the tense wrong? Sorry. ‘will have tried’ to kill him,
It also might explain weirdness like this. Should you decide to watch this clip, once you hit play please click the little gear bottom right and select the highest quality it offers you. The devil is in the details. If you can forgive the word play here.
Here is a link to the Twitter thread with the 7 key take aways from the interview, including also the estimate of why both Saudi Arabia and California work when due to their belief system, both should collapse in short order. California due to ‘wokeism’ What we know as Maoism, and although he doesn’t say the word, what he clearly means as Islam as the dominant principle in the KSA.
Having seen some of the clips, I plan to listen to the whole interview as time permits while out on errands. Chances are very little of it requires actually watching it. But from what I did see, and adding it to what we already know, this creates a nice strong foundation of reality to the nearly impossible to believe, scenarios that play out against individualism and freedom of choice and information every day.
