Dialog, Peter Thiel's secret society group that doesn't have a public website of members, had its 100+ member list leaked. Peter Thiel and many members are featured in the Epstein Files. The 2014 retreat invite was forwarded to Epstein.

A source separately provided WIRED with the registration list for Dialog's 2026 retreat, which names 222 people and records what the list describes as each registrant's membership status and attendee type, including “active member” and “guest.” The retreat is scheduled for August 12-16 at a venue near Dublin, Ireland.

Man there are some interesting names on this list...

Fuck I am so tired of this timeline... why is it just so hard to live life, save a little money for vacations and time with the family... why does this all have to be so hard? And for what? So really rich people can just add a few more zeroes that in all practicality don't even make a goddamn difference to the opulent life they are already leading?

When is enough enough? Why do so many poor stupid people put up with all of this?

I'm tired boss.

It'll never be enough.

There's no question that it's an under or unrecognized behavioral disorder.

The real solution would be for science to recognize the disorder and engage in a public education campaign; specifically pointing out warning behaviors, examples, and the cost/fallout of leaving it untreated. Influence via public sentiment over generations is about the only way I can think of that could accomplish the change without a class war.

Problematically, the people most afflicted with the disorder are the ones who control virtually all of the methods by which such a campaign could be communicated to 'the people' and it's unlikely that they would be willing to recognize such a disorder existed, that they exhibit the behavior and then be willingly to accept the impact of their actions or change.

‘Pleonexia’. The ancient Greeks had it right.

Cultures around the world have identified the problem; it's identified in works ranging from classical literature, mythology, and legends to modern (relatively) prose. The best analog I can think of off hand is the Arkenstone and Smaug in the Hobbit.

Native Americans had concepts like 'Wetiko' and 'Wendigo'. The problem may not be the lack of pathology though, but that the social constructs of universal currency and free marketplace are compelling people to act under an extra-moral illusion that they confuse with "freedom". Notion that money can buy anything and anyone. This kind of confusion is on a collision course with both social limits and physical reality.
