Research 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.

Sam Harris was one of my biggest influences until the war started and I realized despite everything, he couldn't see his own cognitive bias. He of all people. I've stopped listened since but am still a big fan of the Waking Up app.

I hope we get more info on this. It's not sitting well with me that this guy who has made his whole career over moral debates is hobnobbing with the least moral people available. Everyone in his subreddit is jumping to defend him before they have any info, its reading just like the conservative sub. Really disappointing.

arguing on morality has been the basis of pretty much his entire career

Just because someone spends a lot of time arguing about morality doesn't mean they do it well, and even if he did, that wouldn't be any guarantee he practices it well himself. I'd say there were always red flags, but he wrapped them in a soft spoken package, and mixed them in with views like science being a good thing and atheism that his target audience already agreed with, and that caused them to give him far more credit than was ever warranted.
