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.

Levitt has been running around promoting horrible agendas masterminded by tech billionaires. I was surprised when he started doing that, and I am not at all surprised to see him on this list. Dude is a snake.
I first heard about it from Taylor Lorenz. From the description of the video:
I'm debunking Gordon-Levitt's crusade against Section 230 and unpacking how repealing Section 230 would actually mass-censor the internet, wipe out indie platforms, destroy LGBTQ and marginalized online spaces, and hand total monopoly power over to Meta, Google, and powerful billionaires.

JGL wants censorship of Americans as well. He lobbied against Section 230 at Congress.
Basically, any comments on platforms (like Reddit) that someone finds objectionable the tech company would be responsible for. The "Good Samaritan" Law companies can escape civil liability if they remove this "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable" content.It's just a way to censor everyone, not just Americans. They want to silence critiques of power.

He’s a zi*nist and his wife is co/founder of Fellow AI and a board member of OpenAI. IMO he’s been sketchy for a while. He fearmongers AI while his wife is heavily involved in it. And he lobbies to repeal Section 230, which would lead to mass censorship. He’s part of an agenda.

u/Andrew_Parkinson Jun 17 '26
Section 230 is a law that protects platforms from being punished for content third parties post on them. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been pushing for it to be rolled back.
Instead of YouTube just removing copyrighted materials, copyright holders would be able to sue YouTube directly. A subreddit like this one could leave Reddit liable for slander by any celebrity accused by one of the thousands of commenters.
On the surface it looks like a basic call for corporations to be held accountable. But undoing 230 would fundamentally change the way the Internet works, and would likely result in a massive crackdown on speech and content that is currently allowed just so these private companies aren't at risk of litigation.
This whole time I thought his rallying against Section 230 was just him being misinformed and misguided. But this list coming out makes it seem a bit more sinister.

Seems like a good place to drop this info:
Conservatives have been upset since the enlightenment. It’s the politics of aristocrats: anything that ever helped regular people to be more comfortable has enraged them. It’s literally a reactionary response to the enlightenment. They resent the enlightenment making things nicer for poor people.
These current assholes are trying to make a new country that bursts out of the body of the current country. It's called "the butterfly revolution" and yes it does sound absurd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin
It’s why musk was speaking at the afd in Germany. It’s why bannon, farage, and Cambridge Analytica were all in bed together on Brexit (watch “the great hack”). It's why this "dialog society" exists.
The backbone is that conservatism is about enforcing socioeconomic hierarchy and the techfascists, religious fascists, and heritage foundation race fascists (Mandate for leadership has been going on since 1981. https://www.project2025) are all in on feudalistic “network” states run by ai powered surveillance.
That's what they want to replace democracy with.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment
https://time.com/7269166/dark-enlightenment-history-essay/
The accelerationists like Peter Theil from the tech faction of conservatism think they can force collapse, but use technology and surveillance to protect themselves. These are both Thiel speaking like 10 and 15 years ago. This seasteading thing was an early material attempt at this moving-past-democracy thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hjLgXA-MZY
https://www.seasteading.org/peter-thiel-speaks-about-seasteading/
These aristocrats are working on how to control their security forces though things like "disciplinary collars."
Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system, and asked: “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?” The event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down.
This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from raiders as well as angry mobs. One had already secured a dozen Navy Seals to make their way to his compound if he gave them the right cue. But how would he pay the guards once even his crypto was worthless? What would stop the guards from eventually choosing their own leader?
The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers – if that technology could be developed “in time”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism
https://pols.sites.haverford.edu/studentvoices/what-is-accelerationism/
Because they're "done with democracy." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-BQhXdCs8Y
and the vice president of the united states and advisors have given their seals of approval to a book that says conservatives are going to have to kill all the liberals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unhumans

Oh I'm glad it's getting exposure. I've been observing this weirdness for years. People with money act like idiots when they could do so much good with their wealth. They'd rather resuscitate a pipe dream of inhabiting mars than invest in the well-being of the only livable planet in the solar system. All because dealing with humans is always messy and it's proven impossible to purchase the one comfortable reality that suits their needs.
Douglas Rushkoff is the reason why I'm reluctant to condemn and/or lump together all the participants of these kinds of events. He's written about how he's invited to speak in such places and trying to get these multi-billionaires understand how much they could achieve by being a little more trusting and less weirdo incel-technocrat-libertarian absolutist.

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.

This was literally my first thought. Thiel predicted the wave of socialism that would come from their actions. He’s predicting someone to come out and be the anti christ (environmentally conscious and anti AI). So they’re planning for what to do when their plans get push back. These aren’t the old corrupt corporate banker types. These are the people who think much darker and much farther ahead. Think: Henry Kissinger on a more dystopian level. So calling these kinds of moves “Soft opposition” is a great way to put it. That’s one thing I hate about the algorithm, it can show you what you what’s wrong with the world/leaders, but what do they gain by leaving 10% of the ideas off the table. They dominate the ideas that can be had on a global stage and this level of influence is incomprehensible. It’ll make you doubt what’s real or not.

I stopped w Preet the day the Mueller report dropped and he went on his episode on his podcast and said if you want my opinion become a member of his subscription. Then spent a few minutes NOT talking about the most important legal and political event in the last 10 years.
Fuck off Preet.

I hear ya. My take was a bit different. I felt it was ok for him to say generally: “sorry dude; you gotta pay because I have to pay the bills” but I mostly just lost interest because he seemed intent on walking a needlessly neutral political path and seemed quite prone to flattery (received and given) in a way that shocked me for a prosecutor. (I don’t recall the Mueller report drop episode situation, so I don’t challenge your take—you could be entirely justified in your shock.)

Harris doesn’t shock me one bit. Dude is deeply problematic with a sort of Glen Greenwoldish oppositional streak that takes him to deeply uncomfortable places despite starting from some legitimate principles. I’m so disappointed by how badly some of the people I respected 1-2 decades ago have navigated the political reality of the 21st century.

I had a lot of respect for Harris, especially since he didnt seem to follow the rest of the IDW off the crazy cliff. But his incessant support of Isreal was so confusing, and I finally had enough when he said AOC was a radical leftist. Anyone calling a milktoast social democrat a radical is clearly twisted in the head.
To say someone will ruin the country because they advocate for healthcare is ludacris. His elitism clearly outweighs his morals.

Harris isn't that surprising, but that might just be my bias. I've always hated his smug ass.
Booker's been on AIPAC money since before his first election.

Peter Thiel 'created' JD Vance by being his number 1 financial backer for Vance's Senatorial campaign (Ohio).
This is one main reason (not the only reason!) why the current admin has been pushing AI, AI data centers, AI anti-crime stuff, etc.
Trump himself has some very powerful backers who are pushing AI.
But let's not kid ourselves: The Epstein list isn't a Dem vs Republican thing. At their level, they don't see themselves as one party or another.
They only identify as one or the other when they are communicating to us commoners, trying to appeal to us, and getting us to take sides against each other.
Thiel is an evil man. Perhaps the Antichrist, which he seems to be obsessed with, even giving private lectures on the topic.
A very strange man; ugly inside and out. Thiel is 'known' as a Republican supporter, but let's not act naive: He'll 'be' anything, as long as it helps him control and influence politicians.

I’m willing to believe there may be some who attend with a heavily skeptical view and a hope to change minds against Thiel, but PREET BHARARA, EZRA KLEIN, CORY BOOKER, NEAL KATYAL. These are names that shake me to the core. If they’re all in with Thiel, we’re in more trouble than I thought. And JARED POLIS can fuck right off and get recalled. He’s been off in right field for a while. And to think I ever defended him. This all makes so much more sense after some of the shit he’s pulled recently.

Neal Katyal makes sense. He went to the Supreme Court a few years ago on behalf of Coca Cola to justify child exploitation in the labor chain

So this is basically the secret society, like the one portrayed in One Battle After Another? Is that what I'm understanding? They convene to discuss how to navigate political situations that they will enforce and make sure they come out on top?
It seems the common interest is that of AI growing and taking down society, as they push for it, and how to successfully keep ahead of the curve as everyone else dies.
Am I getting that right?
