A look into how the tech leaders may be using the new administration to achieve their own agenda. Looking specifically at Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andressen, Ben Horotwitz, Brian Armstrong, and David Sacks as well as their relationship with figures like JD Vance, Balaji Srinivasan, and Curtis Yarvin. There is a focused discussion on how a shaping of the government might take place based on convergences between the ideas of Yarvin, who influences the tech libertarian right, and Project 2025, who have authored a playbook exclusively for President Trump to help with his transition to power.

it's all smoke and mirrors for "i have a gun. do what i say". the question inevitably is who has the gun?

no one wants to consider this when they cheer on the end of humanity. we're too big to fail. the number of nuclear reactors and the waste management involved affects too many things besides us.

incorrect. science is a method to measure reality and come to conclusions based on fact. it has no bias.

JESUS CHRIST THIS THREAD GOT BURIED FAST. I usually just lurk around here but when I saw this, I had to create an account to be able to post. THIS. This is the thread we need to be talking about. Science.

OUR. ONLY. FUCKING. HOPE. IS SCIENCE.

Letting money outweigh knowledge was where we went wrong, and we can get back there if we just trust in science tempered by the humanities. Please keep talking about this. Please don't let this thread slide off the first page. This should be our rallying cry.
