    All those blood transfusions and his daily routine don’t seem to be stopping the inevitability of aging.

    It would be real cool if he and Elon tried some experimental gene therapy and became tumor riddem monsters like Ted Faro did in Horizon Zero Dawn.

    Now there’s a dystopia that seems less and leas far-fetched: an autonomous AI military drone swarm capable of self replication and using biomass as fuel goes rogue and starts devouring all life on Earth. They went rogue because of the hubris of the world’s first trillionaire removimg their safeguards.

    Combine that with the Fallout games’ Vault-Tec, the company that became largest in the world by selling vaults to protect people from nuclear war, being the ones that start the nuclear war so they can use vaults as captive laboratories for social experiments.

    Alongside Mike Judge, one or both of those stories could some day be seen as prohecy.

      Thiel has dirt on everyone. Thiel has direct access to the location and driving desires of everyone in America, a huge slab of Europe, and loads of other countries. Trump was the last thing he needed. Even if “america wakes up” their bureaucracy won’t be functional enough for the people to stop him.

      Trump will be allowed to spread his Mordor fertilizer for as long as he can live. After that, Thiel is going to do worse things to the world than any human in history. He is wealthy, connected, intelligent, and evil to the bone. He wants, with all his heart, to be Sauron.

      Every major government, except maybe China, has a palantir node full of their citizens data, that they can access and use information from to manipulate individuals and the population. There are also palantir servers that are fed all military information, to synthesize and suggest future actions. There are drone swarms everywhere, connected to AI systems through palantir.

      I guarantee you that somewhere Thiel has a server called “the one ring”.
