Nice to see it here.

Interesting to see that the progressive journalist Ezra Klein was in attendance. Also Kaja Kallas. Not quite sure what to make of that.

It's influential people talking to each other. If they don't go, they're missing out.

fergie2• 1 month ago

Having thought about it, I wonder if Klein, Ferris and maybe some of the others were there to give talks.

What exactly are they missing out on?

" " <— I think you dropped these — not certain where they go, though

Journalists will often try to attend these things to get a scoop, the other attendees will be trying to influence that scoop. That may not definitely be the case here, but it's also not given they're plants or anything.

Because he's a controlled opposition nepobaby with little actual intellectual merit, like many in the sector. Similar to Sam Harris, who's also on the list, with new atheism. Sometimes you just need some people to propagandize and all that's important is that they're loyal.

He's there just to make a certain group of people slightly more okay with some questionable views.

"progressive"

I smell a word that begins with the letter 'c' and ends with 'orruption'.

Now we only need a cross-reference to all who were partying on the Epstein islands yet were not tracked by a government that is not very ... motivated to find out all who organised those parties, involving underage people (we have eye witness testimonies of that already; the current government deliberately delays any real further investigations here).

Well, this finally proves that Kasparov is a mole and not really an opposition leader in any real sense of the word.

I am not really bothered by talking-shop nonsense like this; rich dullards with no discernible talent have always organised quiet little salons to try to seem impressive. If no young people are being sexually abused, let them talk.

For all the fuss about Bilderberg in the early 2000s, for example, it apparently was quite dull and blowhardish and achieved little; nobody who participated was particularly advantaged except for the opportunity to find out how dark-sided Henry Kissinger really was was in person. Beyond that it’s just networking; Twitter did the same job for a while, private invitation-only discussion forums online still do it.

And besides it has its own punishment built in, even I dare say for Thiel himself, who is a terrible person, but not so terrible that he should have Ted Cruz inflicted on him outside work hours.

Aside from that, aren’t people just going to come away with first-hand knowledge that Thiel is a sweaty weirdo?

not so terrible that he should have Ted Cruz inflicted on him outside work hours.

He made his bed.

(And he is that awful)

shevy-java2• 1 month ago

Also, Ted Cruz there - interesting how only very few politicians are on the list. Must be a close buddy. Someone should have a look at the legislation pushes by Ted.

dofm3• 1 month ago

Ted Cruz is only there so nobody outstays their welcome.

Ted Cruz was a Tea party member, the tea party merged into maga. His legislation pretty much follows

Jens Spahn. Interesting for all Germans.

comment0r• 1 month ago

If I remember correctly, Spahn is also member of other orgs related to the US, i. e. Atlantik-Brücke e. V.

It’s certainly interesting as he seems to be the only German member of Dialog. It makes me question if these kind of "memberships" make it (partially) possible for him to be in the position he is in now. Otherwise it’s questionable to me how he can stay in power despite being the person he is.

BlueTemplar2• 1 month ago

Already was there on the leaked 2022 list.

Do you know what's common among these people? They exploit others for their gain, not really offering good value to people. They don't offer a fair deal.

My dear... more and more political is posted at GitHub... and there's so much hope... this won't result in even more service penalties eventually...

Yes, it's been accused by Microsoft, and yes it has been having issues since then, including the unstable uptime, but... it's still the awesome GitHub... with an ineffably magnificent history to care for I believe...

Would you like help expressing a complete sentence? If a human won't do, a free LLM is available at chat.com. If that one won't do, there's others available.

Peter Attia figured heavily in a certain recent document dump, so I’m not surprised to see him swimming in these circles.

Tim Ferris is an interesting one to me. Feels like an outlier attendee but maybe he will be part of consent manufacturing for whatever is talked about here

joshspankit2• 1 month ago

As someone with a long-time interest in Tim Ferriss I’d say he’ll probably go most places he’s invited out of pure curiosity. He’s also attended TED and has been in many VC spaces so it’s not surprising that someone (maybe even Thiel himself) would invite him

crispyambulance• 1 month ago

Ferriss has been part of what I call the "self-help industrial complex" for a very long time. He also has known Thiel since at least the early naughts.

Some time ago I stumbled onto a bizzare "Peter Thiel on Political Theology" Tyler Cowen episode. Of Course Cowen is on this list.
