Man that was a bumpy ride. He seemed to also be going somewhere and then suddenly... I agree with bodily autonomy and I think it would be neat to become something else through transhumanism, but he really doesn't sound like a clearheaded thinker... But certainly seems interested in immortality.
NickRivieraMD
he's selling it, not sharing his inner thoughts. Shit, for all we know, all his inner thoughts may be sales pitches too.

This guy thinks he's the best of humanity. Why are all these billionaires so fucking STUPID?
fumptrucker
Because they are billionaires; no one will tell them and they don't have to listen to anyone who tries. Their social environment consists underlings who fear for their jobs and other billionaires who are just as unable to hear any words of criticism. And anyone who doesn't think that warps their psyche to a pathological degree has not been paying attention.
CorgiInALilBlackDress
I've heard billions of dollars destroys one' sense of reality and therefore their sense of decency, morals, empathy and kindness. They are basically NPCs at this point - hyper-narcissists with a Machiavellian personality disorder to boot. They, in a way, sold their soul.
dontrike
Why is every rich Republican pedophile talk like they drink bleach?
Jarodamus
I don't get it, what is wrong with transhumanism.
wythra
His inability to tie it to the concept of humans enduring such that transhumanism is realized. It seemed to me that he accidentally revealed some values around the worth of human life.
Jarodamus
Ah, ok I think that just needed context. Thanks.
andreCosmosLord
Norm Macdonald once put it more succinctly and not as weirdly when he said (paraphrasing), "They should work on that whole...death thing, ya know?"
Sithrak
Darkest part of this was he made all these style jokes knowing he was dying. It was just his style.

This is the technocrat pulling the strings behind JD Vance and Elon Musk.

This is your brain on drugs
iamthecomet
I never...
Isthe4thtimethecharm
My brain has been on lots of different drugs. It has never thought like that.
tallyhoho
He's got those rich people drugs. Probably made with baby blood or something
CitrusyGarlic
Is this the 80s? I really despise the demonization of the catchall term drugs, because many drugs out there are wonderful lifesavers, I take a drug every day just to be functional. This is your brain on TOO MANY drugs, this is what happens when money insulates you from anyone who would tell you that you're doing too many drugs.
tallyhoho
It was a psa back in the day
draek1
Peter thiels brain on drugs would probably be a lot better. I wish every world leadrr a very nice mushroom ego death

Ah that Thiel from the PayPal Mafia and another white nationalist pro-apartheid SA!

The answer, is a resounding "no". We dont deserve to survive. Just fucking wipe us out and move on.
SchrodingersDictator
Any sentient species evolved on our planet would uncontrollably expand just as we’ve done. I’m not ready for us to be done.
SteveTheEgg
I'll be honest, since Trump got reelected, I'm personally not sure the human race deserves to survive. We just do horrible shit and horrible shit. Like I'm not actively assault-rifle shopping or building a doomsday device or anything like that, but I still don't hold our species in high regard right now.
Howlingowl
blitzzer
Somebody must've tricked this dude into either Cyberpunk or Warhammer 40k. I suspect his trans-humanism would be no less abject body horror.
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
He wants to be a techno-feudal lord, basically. And literally owning your body's firmware and source code would give power over people kings could only dream of.

Oh. Is this.... is this not satire? Oh.... Oh my. Oh my no.

fucking ghoul.
Zetor
Yes. Except billionaires
TsukariYoshi
We're being dictated to by a bunch of idiots whose money has so warped the reality in which they live that they sit around asking one another if they live in a simulation. That their coddled lives are so wonderful and perfect, every need taken care of if immediately if not beforehand, every want immediately fulfilled, their every thought praised and never contradicted, that they are certain that none of this could possibly be real.
RandomQuack
Billionaires shouldn't exist. They're all psychopaths.
mstalltree
He always looks like he's passing kidney stones through urine.
RadioFloyd
Is that not the only way to pass kidney stones?
WarmVanilla
Peter Thiel always looks like he's about to pop like a pimple. Why does he always look so moist?
zeacorzeppelin10
What a fucking dumbass.
pyroinsomniac
And that dumbass is worth 21 billion dollars
cocainemonster
These people are not dumb, they are evil. Calling them dumb mitigates the real threat that they pose to society.
gsynth
You can be evil and dumb. You don't need to be particularly intelligent to be powerful or rich, just lucky.
cbaggs32
Being intelligent (which you're right, they are) and being a dumbass are not mutually exclusive
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
I mean, some of them are genuinely just dumb as rocks. However Theil is literally just straight up evil. Like, staurday morning cartoon villian caricature levels of evil.
euphoricopportunity
Yes, but he clearly has levels of brain fog going on there that are astounding. That's not incompatible with evil .
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
I don't think that's the case here. I think he recognizes that his hesitation is a bad look, but is doing so because he is so obsessed with the notion of a post-human immorality that he can't just lie about it because he's convinced everyone "reasonable" feels the same way he does. Especially because in his mind he'd get to be a quasi-messiah delivering this brave new world to the chosen people (white men who constantly glaze him and are in complete political lockstep with him)

iabductaliens11
Another South African billionaire that wants immortality and all the wealth in the world. Well, chuckle fuck, eventually the sun is going to grow and kill this while solar system. You don't get to cheat death forever.
NickRivieraMD
I mean, he's definitely not gonna make it that long
zerogiven
That's gonna happen in 4 billion years. On the (increasingly unlikely-looking) chance that humanity's descendants live that long, I can't imagine that one star's expansion into a red giant is gonna endanger them.
iabductaliens11
You just had to steal that hope from me didn't you?
zerogiven
Yeah, I'm a bastard that way. But cheer up! We're almost certainly about to kill ourselves, and most of our ecosystem alongside us, with no help from astrophysics at all!
Poopoopeepeevagina
How to over complicate such an easy answer to an easy question.
SupernaturalReactions
It is an easy answer: no.
We've objectively failed as a species and our time is almost over. Good riddance.

AlexHamil
There is no objective correctness. Your assertion is flawed. You’re implying values have truth value
pimt665
The planetary boundaries are pretty objective. I get your point though
mercyPandaRunner
It is not. I don't know why people (especially anglophones, it seems. That discourse is a hell of a lot different in other language.) insist on humanity just going extinct.
We're not talking about a 100 km meteorite impact. What you should be worried about is NOT that "boom humanity gone". What you should be worried about is that we WILL survive. But that future will look a hell of a lot different than people are comfortable to imagine. I guess that's why it's easier to imagine "boom gone".
Sendmeyourpuppypics
is that guy for real? wtf
sleepinggreenidea
JD Vance is his proxy in Washington. Not only is he very serious about his deranged anti-humanistic authoritarian agenda, but he has sooooo much influence.
Leajjes
He is and has a wide amount of cringe comments. He also gave a boat load of money to Trump.
mercyPandaRunner
And he basically owns the Vice President. At a time when a not very healthy and mentally present near octogenarian is president.
Leajjes
Then there's his private CIA company: https://theintercept.com/2017/02/22/how-peter-thiels-palantir-helped-the-nsa-spy-on-the-whole-world/

I find it surprising no one has just shot this man.

BHPaperstacks
Someone needs to take a Crack at the SC while a Dem is in office and go out a legend.
Buckman88
Well you better get control of the Senate too so you can confirm the appointment.
Bondsmith10
Now you know why no one has just shot this man
CitrusyGarlic
I would imagine most people would have an answer pretty similar to yours if I asked you "What's stopping you from being the one to shoot him?"

Mr. Thiel being who and what he is, I expect the correct answer is "Bodyguards. Lots and lots of bodyguards."

Opportunity.

Safe to say that most people will not have the opportunity, and also that they will not be prepared for that opportunity when or if it presents itself.
