Man I can’t wait to learn all about this disgusting evil fuck and his buttmunch club and how they rank each other and what they do and where they - oh wait . . . Hard pass.
Wonder what people think of:
“We have no ideological agenda,” reads the document shared with WIRED by a past participant. “Dialog is nonpartisan and nonpolitical. We want all participants to come away with a better understanding of the truth—but we don’t presume to know what the truth is. We simply believe that when we bring together open-minded people who are at the top of their fields, with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, they will learn new things.”
I have definitely been to events with people who have a variety of political opinions, but I'm not sure I want to be in any Thiel backed group. I certainly wouldn't pay to attend a social gathering where prominent people that I think are basically evil will be.
Are you at the top of your field though? 🤭
Yeah, I'm not anywhere close to getting in.
