Dude is really leaning into the "let's be the illuminati" bit, huh?

So, I'm not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hang out together, virtually or IRL. I mean, we all find our tribe eventually.

I'm not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hanging out together come up with schemes of mutual benefit. I'd be surprised if they didn't.

I've always thought of the Illuminati as a thing beyond that. Like, some kind of quasi-religious thing that transcends mere greed and grift. Maybe we've just reached the point in capitalism where oligarch collusion is indistinguishable from world domination, because enough of our governments have already ceded authority to their corporate overlords.

"Fascism is capitalism in decay"

Turns out "capitalist democracy" is an oxymoron, because every business is a plutocracy/oligarchy, that rewards psychopathy because morality is less profitable, who inevitably end up using their capital to corrupt everything in their favor (politicians, regulators, media, military, the entire population, etc).

It's actually kind of mentally ill that everyone just accepts democracy can coexist alongside systemic structural inequality, but I guess religion already proves that humans are just talking apes who'll believe anything.

And it turns out, it is impossible to have democratized politics unless the economy is also democratized.

Mythmaking marks the point in time when they stop to care about advancing financial profits and try to convert it into other resources they can gain, e.g. legacy and influence in the case they are playing masons, but with a starting ego boost of 9000x.

What were his antichrist talks supposed to cover up? There was something with that keyword related to him before that but I can't remember what.

Strauss Zelnick - Chairman & CEO, Take-Two Interactive Software.

having read nothing about him personally but plenty about how Take-Two acts as a company, I am not even slightly surprised that the head of Take-Two is the sort of chode that jives with Thiel and other techbro right-wing fascists.

Yeah her and JGL seem like outliers overall, I feel like I read something about him specifically being into something sketch a while back but can’t quite remember what, either way was surprised to see both those names.

Sophia’s entry is particularly hilarious because apparently simply being on One Tree Hill brings a lot of influence all on its own

Attendees are also asked to provide their “Political leaning” and are given the choices of “Far Left,” “Left,” “Right,” and “Far Right.” A disclaimer next to the option states that “answers WILL NOT be shared in the app or with other participants — ever.”

Then why ask?

Rule 1: we will never do XYZ

Rule 2: we are unrepentant liars

Rule 3: We want to burn the world down while we watch from bunkers

Super secret, but can we keep the topics as boring as humanly possible?

This is the way! Making the use of privacy tools for no other reason than you support their existence should really be the norm.

You know someone will show up with a special interest in whatever boring topic you pick and make it super interesting with all the lore and information they have on it.

We could start one on Lemmy, it's super secret and protected, and I'm sure the admins won't read our messages.

Weird seeing Sophia Bush and Joseph Gordon-Levitt on a list of CEOs and Politicians.

It’s likely due to his heavy campaigning for repealing Section 230.

Plus, his wife was a former OpenAI board member.

You'd think AI companies would be all about having a legal layer between them and their users, so I can't imagine they'd be happy with a repeal of 230.

Yeah, one would think that.

It’s all weirdly wrapped up with the wave of digital ID verification laws/bills in the name of “child safety”, which AI companies do want.

Does the background look like the little xenomorphs from alien? Is he the role model for the evil corporations in the tv series Alien Earth?

This would be a cool place to get into.
