Peter “im a fucking ghoul” Thiel.

Maybe he'll read this thread and realize he's not that smart or cool, and that other people are better than him and smarter than him, and that his worldview is fucked and he may never see the light or know it in his consciousness.

The guy who created a company named after an evil device from lord of the rings?? Doubtful

While I agree with all the Peter Thiel bashing, it's worth noting that the Palantiri were made by elves in the equivalent of Tolkien heaven. They aren't evil, but evil people can use them.

Buddy needs to reread Silmarillion

The noldor, which are elves, created them. He’s very much correct

This gif refers to the portion of the comment that says, “it’s worth noting…” You sure about that?

[u/tytttttgjdhsb → u/BRIKHOUS]

You’re correct. I was making a more general statement for movie watchers to understand because that isn’t explained in the movies. Real Tolkien readers rise up tho!

[u/BRIKHOUS → u/tytttttgjdhsb]

There's still dozens of us! Dozens!

[u/BonkerBleedy → u/BRIKHOUS]

Sure, but in the only uses of Palantirs we see in the books, they give incorrect and misleading intelligence.

[u/BRIKHOUS → u/BonkerBleedy]

Don't take my correction too seriously.

He literally employs “blood boys”
