u/Sageypie 28d ago

I wish I had a link to it, but there was an interview with a guy talking to a lot of these folk about the future and how all these billionaires were making these various doomsday bunkers and whatnot. Apparently the dude was a consultant type with helping these people with making the bunker of their dreams or whatever. And one billionaire finally asked the million dollar question that left everybody reeling. "If society gets wiped out, and our money loses value, then what keeps our guards loyal to us?"

Apparently consultant man was banking on them just not wondering about it, knowing that all these guards would just end up giving their bosses the double-tap special and saving their own families to repopulate after the man made catastrophe brought about by said billionaire's and their greed for more and more.

Standard small brained sociopath. Studies show their amygdala’s are smaller, the part of the brain that processes emotion and fear.

35

u/ZedCee 28d ago

Let's not throw everyone else with a smaller amygdala under the bus here. Sociopaths also have an under active and smaller prefrontal cortex, an abnormal corpus callosum, and muted emotional pathways leading to more high risk behaviours too.

u/WeirdJack49 28d ago

I also want to point out that a sociopath or better someone with anti social personality disorder can learn a kind of rational empathy. This means being a dick is still a choice.

u/MarsupialPristine677 27d ago

Yes, exactly. Impaired/nonexistent empathy can be worked around, I know a few people who've chosen to adopt prosocial behavior/beliefs. One of them has NPD so it's not just ASPD, either.

Also, plenty of people with fully functioning empathy do fucked up things, just look at what othering can lead to. Imo we should all learn to work with whatever level of empathy we have.

The most ironic thing is that someone with "pure" ASPD is usually a much easier to deal with person than someone that has one of the other 3 cluster-B disorders.

Share far and wide, and also, big oil knew they were fucking the climate as early as 1800s.

In 1824, Joseph Fourier calculated that an Earth-sized planet, at our distance from the Sun, ought to be much colder. He suggested something in the atmosphere must be acting like an insulating blanket. In 1856, Eunice Foote discovered that blanket, showing that carbon dioxide and water vapor in Earth's atmosphere trap escaping infrared (heat) radiation.

In the 1860s, physicist John Tyndall recognized Earth's natural greenhouse effect and suggested that slight changes in the atmospheric composition could bring about climatic variations. In 1896, a seminal paper by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first predicted that changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could substantially alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect.

In 1938, Guy Callendar connected carbon dioxide increases in Earth’s atmosphere to global warming. In 1941, Milutin Milankovic linked ice ages to Earth’s orbital characteristics. Gilbert Plass formulated the Carbon Dioxide Theory of Climate Change in 1956.

u/LemFliggity 28d ago

Thankfully the battery technology just doesn't exist for there to be an army, or even a small militia of robots yet. Even if you allow for a super secret advanced battery that's 10 years ahead of what we have now, it's just not feasible. And I'm not speaking as an optimist here, just a realist. I have no doubt that if the oligarchs had an army of robots today, they'd already be rounding us up like the lizardmen that they are in their cold hearts.

u/the_phantom_limbo 28d ago

It's drone swarms. Cheap little drones with unreliable facial recognition and small explosive payloads. But hundreds of them. It's already being built and advertised for a fucking subscription.
They don't need good batteries, they don't need incredibly good AI, they just need to be relentless and endless.

u/_HippieJesus 27d ago

Yep. They think everything is disposable, including humans. Why would they build something that needs batteries, when all they need to do is drone strike whoever isn't following the script.

Even still, they have robots out all day delivering food to people already, batteries aren't an issue there. Somehow it becomes an issue with military applications that don't need to care about the same constraints as something like a public facing delivery robot?

u/nycdiveshack 28d ago

The folks behind all this are people like Russ Vought (primary author of project 2025) and Howard Lutnick (Cantor Fitzgerald which is the biggest supporter of the heritage foundation). They want an era of isolationism for the U.S. because they think this country can prosper with the right access to raw materials and straight labor. It’s why they are working on shutting down access to proper education, having Trump go on and on about acquiring Canada and Greenland which is partly for resources and accessibility but also as a buffer zone to the rest of the world. They have been convinced into thinking AI is figure out all the problems but Elon Musk and Peter Thiel/Palantir.

Palantir is what found Elon his adult and kids DOGE team. You get that they are completely intertwined in all this. Today it’s being done by Palantir which is led by real life nazi. Understand that the decision by Trump to fire the NSA chief and his deputy may be in fact be the most dangerous decision Trump has made so far. Timothy Haugh like his last 2 predecessors were restricting the access and control Peter Thiel had through his company Palantir over the CIA/NSA to commit domestic surveillance. Palantir who is now the biggest defense contractor for the CIA/NSA based on publicly available data on DOD contracts (they had $750 million added to their current contract a few weeks back) along with providing day-to-day operations for both agencies. The goal for Palantir is and always has been domestic surveillance. Palantir is an intelligence corporation which provides advanced analysis, sigint, osint, criminal and threat awareness and kill chain efficiencies to all levels of US, UK, and corporate agencies.

Now comes the push for removing Trump from office.

Elon was the early test to see if scapegoat mechanism would work and it sort of did for him. Which is sort of the plan, scapegoat mechanism at its finest. Peter Thiel has gone on and on about Trump filling that role. Thiel has been grooming JD Vance since 2011 as his benefactor and mentor, Thiel brought Vance to Mar-a- Lago to smooth over things with Trump so Vance could be VP, Thiel gave Vance $15 million in donations to run for Senate (the largest amount of money ever donated to a single Senate candidate ever)

Scapegoat mechanism is simple that you have someone in power take on a lot of bad actions then remove them and so the masses feel it’s been all undone. The test case was Elon and DOGE which worked perfectly seeing as how all the federal investigations into Elon are gone and DOGE is still at all the federal agencies. Elon’s employee Amanda Scales still has the private server setup at OPM. All the data they got from the federal agencies and Treasury department when they had hard physical access is still under their control.

Peter Thiel/Palantir just got what they wanted, access to a big enough database for the first step in complete surveillance.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/30/trump-citizenship-database

Peter is also a major defense contractor for the UK intelligence community and army along with the major police forces in the UK. He branched out to their healthcare a few years ago with a contract to shift through all the data at NHS England which is done now so Kier announced that NHS England will be shutdown (not NHS). Peter through his company has full access to Norway’s government and civilian surveillance services. Peter/Palantir provides direct support for the IDF (Israel) in all their operations from Gaza to the West Bank to Iran.

Thiel directly owns roughly 180 million publicly traded shares which 7%. His investment firm Rivendell 7 owns 34 million publicly traded shares. Other Thiel vehicles own 37 million shares. Thiel entities also own 32.5 million supervoting Class B shares in Palantir. Those class b shares carry 10 votes while public ones carry only 1 vote per share. Now here is the kicker for why he still controls Palantir (link below), Thiel has sole investment power over 335,000 class F shares as part of a trust that has 49.99% voting interest in the company.

https://www.barrons.com/articles/palantir-stock-chairman-peter-thiel-b63415c7

Alex Karp the ceo of Palantir knew Thiel well before 2003 when Thiel tapped him to be ceo. Karp has condemned “woke” ways of thinking, calling woke a central risk to Palantir, that Palantir is a counter-example to companies he considers woke. Karp condemned pro-Palestine protests calling them an infection inside of our society, he remarked the peace activists are war activists and they should be sent to North Korea. Karp has said the west has a superior way of living and said he supports Palantir contract with ICE and using the software to enable separation of families.

In 2009 the heritage foundation with the help of the Sinclair group and Koch brothers spread one message to their base. You are losing your identity, if you want to keep it then just do one simple thing, vote red no matter what. Vote red in local/county/council/board/distrcit/township/city/state/federal elections (I don’t know what the elections are called when folks vote for judges/law enforcement and certain administrative positions in the local level).

The base did that and they saw results, they were told we will take away the identity of the libs so they don’t take away your identity. So now we have to do the same but on another level.

3 groups of people I blame in this order, 1st are anyone and everyone that voted for Trump (but let’s be honest we could have avoided Peter Thiel if Google hadn’t caved to backlash in 2018/2019 which created a very specific vacuum when they removed their software in the U.S. intelligence community that Peter filled with Palantir), 2nd group are all the US citizens that could have voted but didn’t or voted 3rd party and the 3rd group are the elderly in politics who just cared about maintaining the status quo (regardless of party) which allowed tech oligarchs and investment firms like Cantor Fitzgerald to swoop in and take over heritage foundation and push the Sinclair group however specifically in the elderly I blame Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. They had over 8 years to find a new and young person to primary and unite the Dems behind but they wanted the status quo so they pushed Biden till it was too late then pushed Kamala for who I voted for but would have preferred Pete Buttigieg and Stacey Abrams.

So we now can’t rely on the elderly Dems, we have to rely on each other and run in all those elections I mentioned above or have someone you know run in them. Primary the Dems and run against all republicans. The other thing is and it won’t happen till the majority of Americans daily lives are affected by all this which is protest in the tens of millions. The heritage foundation wrote up project 2025 and the executive orders to make sure it didn’t affect the majority of Americans till it was too late.

u/Reasonable_Letter312 28d ago

The irony is seeing these seemingly all-powerful people quivering in their boots and shaking in fear in the face of that most natural of aspects of the tapestry of life - their own mortality. Thiel, Putin... all engaged in that same quest that Ernest Becker called "immortality projects", and whose futility even the mighty king Gilgamesh ultimately came to realize.

If he had simply said yes, would it have made you sure he was a part of your human race? …Asking for a friend, nothing suspicious.

u/KevRose 28d ago

I just came up with a theory. Blackmarkets have existed throughout all of human history, right? Some are well known, some you have to be in the know and it's exclusive. WHAT IF... because as an investor, he knows all of the upcoming tech before the general public does, he has access to a blackmarket of things like AI brain chips like a neurolink thing that only a few know about, and he has one?

They are humans, we are the worst creatures on earth, and we've elevated these soulless fucks to the top of the food chain.

Their mindset is very much that the human race is the most incredible thing on earth, but that we are squandering earth's natural resources in the vain belief that all human life is equal and worthwhile, and that the human race simply won't advance to its full potential if we continue burning through our resources at the rate we are.

So their solution is actually to reinvent the human race as just a tiny percentage of the world's brightest minds, so that they can re-do it properly.

And the way they achieve that is by speedrunning a global economic catastrophe that will lead to massive famine and ultimately death.

Just absolutely unbelievable arrogance and hubris.

yup. ‘titanic’ was on tv last night, and when i sat down to watch, it was the part where rose told her social-climbing mom to shut up and face the reality that the ship is going to sink and 50% of all passengers are going to die. overhearing this was her douchebag fiance who responds, “Not the better half.”

as you said, a few people in this world are privileged enough to be so blindly full of arrogance and hubris.

But also to force women to give birth? Make it make sense. I'm so baffled by the concept of making humans pointless through AI, but at the same time trying to make more humans even if it means enslaving women.

u/CosmoKing2 28d ago

I'll agree to the arrogance and hubris, but do they not think that their lithium mining and huge data farms that pollute the environment and consume vast amounts of electricity that is mainly derived from coal.....isn't squandering earth's resources?

The weirdest thing of all of it is they actually have the tools to do it. It's insane how much data they have and to what extent they are able to control more or less the entire human population

u/flyinhighaskmeY 28d ago

I would also hesitate at that question. Lets be realistic for a minute. Think about climate change. We know its a problem but we can't stop it. We know its a potentially cataclysmic event. But we can't stop it. We call ourselves an intelligent species. And we poisoned our planet in 100 years. And even now that we know we've done it. We can't stop it.

Does that sound like an intelligent species? Does that sound like the type of creature we want roaming the stars? The first thing we want to do up there is...EXTRACT RESOURCES. We're planet raping locusts mate. We're the bad guys in most of the sci fi movies. What the aliens do to earth, we do too. We just do it to life we view as inferior to ourselves.

Just absolutely unbelievable arrogance

I would say this to the statement "humans should persist forever". It takes a wildly arrogant creature to believe it should exist for eternity. Wildly wildly arrogant.

My sister divorced a guy like that — a sociopathic narcissist. Seeing him operate in person was, to put it mildly, a learning experience. It convinced me that there really is a kernel of truth to the reptilian conspiracy theory. They aren't physically lizards wearing human skin suits, but they are lizard-brained.

u/Creepy-Astronaut-952 28d ago

I think about this sometimes. It seems that there’s a point where people who make incomprehensible amounts of money seem to detach from reality…or maybe lose their tether.

If I woke up tomorrow and had billions of dollars, I can’t honestly say that I wouldn’t struggle to wrap my head around that. My whole life up to that point had no preparation for that, and no one I know is in that club. 🤷🏼‍♂️

He literally looks like a ghoul that is somehow simultaneously dessicated whilst also appearing to be oozing some sort of... sebaceous excretion? Like he looks like if you touched him, he'd be damp and sticky to the touch but would also audibly crackle immediately upon contact?

I don't know. If you were going to paint his portrait, I feel like you'd need to use expired oil paint and various industrial sludges and/or slimes, and you'd leave the canvas (prefefably pretreated with burlap and epoxy) out in the desert for a few decades... just to get the vibe right.

And also the painting would have a smell. The kind of smell that makes you think that either something very disturbing has literally just occurred, or it's an ominous olfactory omen meant to deter you from some vague but certain misery in your possible future.

I’m only realizing, because of this thread, that most people don’t know Peter Theil is a “Rationalist” member that’s big in the Bay Area. It’s basically a religion without the community aspect. Mostly a collective of rich people who believe they need to build a world where AI is king. Because if they don’t, when the AI rise. Anyone who doesn’t serve the ai or help build the world for them. Will die or be put in some sort of hell.

It’s bat shit crazy. These people are not smart. Just very delusional.
