This is especially important in the context that Joe Rogan’s listeners are a people who, by changing their minds, perhaps incorporating pre-introduced critical thinking, can influence their comrades and acquaintances. What is interesting is that Joe hosted
Edward Snowden, and this was the second time he appeared on his podcast, Mr. Rogan even called Edward Snowden a Hero.
Edward is known to be in favor of a project like GrapheneOS with both hands. Especially suspicious is the fact that during such a long conversation they did not really touch upon the history with the “vulnerable application” in Android.
Interesting that Joe himself didn’t bring up such important issues, because I have observed his content for a long time and I can definitely say - he’s not a die-hard Apple fan, he has an Android device and has been praising the product.
JRE is one of the most popular podcasts and at least the most followed on Spotify by far, in it he promotes far-right views and other conspiracy theories, he doesn’t care about privacy or security and would gladly host these people that spread these types of misinformation to fill his own pocket.
I understand your position and as far as I know Joe Rogan has never really been a strong advocate of privacy, nor has he focused solely on keeping people from being particularly illegally monitored.
I’m more interested in all of this in the context of the fact that one of the strongest figures at Palantir, apparently he or his team, who are responsible for strategic actions, made sure that he appeared at this very moment and on this particular platform.
Once again, we are not discussing Rogan, but the actions of Palantir itself and how they are suspiciously connected by this short period of time between the article and the absolutely unjustified noise and the appearance of a representative of this company on such a large platform.
This post is about JR, as you explicitly are talking about the appearance on his show extensively.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone given the history of the show. Joe gives people platforms to speak on, regardless of if they should even have one to begin with. Whether this is harmful or not is up to interpretation, but generally I view it as a net negative.
Overall, this is non-news. JR hosts a controversial figure, JR makes money, and I’d bet Palantir is a part of that for positive press. I’m surprised that you’re surprised on this. Maybe JR had some interesting choices earlier on, but now there’s plenty of money involved in what he does.
I don’t think any of this is new or genuinely surprising information on the subject.
You shouldn’t be surprised at all, the fact that even reptilians and extrasensors are given a voice on Rogan’s podcast is a familiar and somewhat cool phenomenon!
Apparently I should have been clearer, not everyone caught on, my surprise is the suspicious timing, because the Wired news was actually trashed very quickly.
My X corp. comment was quickly responded to by the team at GrapheneOS and the whole thing was lightning fast.
It’s the mere fact of Peter’s presence that is not objectionable - Joe Rogan often invites a diverse palette of guests. What’s worth it are the issues about UFOs and aliens supposedly being kept in secret labs under the Nevada desert.
What really “scares” me, alarms me, call it what you will, is the timing of what’s going on.
I would like to understand why this interview was done now. When a podcaster of such magnitude as Rogan has such an influential guest as co-founder of Palantir Technologies - it can’t be a mere coincidence under the circumstances of last week.
Especially with an election looming, Palantire Technologies is supposedly - what protects the voter, Palantir is your friend, by the way, which party is Palantir supporting right now?
As far as I understand Palantir is also responsible for the security of the current government? (of course, I am referring to the area of expertise of Palantir Technologies itself).
Fun fact.
The name “Palantir” was borrowed from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series where “Palantíri” also known as “seeing stones” - are magical artifacts.
They allow living beings to communicate with each other across any distance and are very dangerous, as they can be managed to show misleading visions.
Reptilians? Like lizard people new world order? It’s clear you have a bias to the podcast, but I’d say you’re digging yourself a hole with this talk mate. For everyone’s sake, let’s stick to privacy and leave conspiracy theories away from this forum.
Joe likes money. Palantir likes good press. Palantir has money. Joe can offer press. Again, nothing surprising is happening. PR team is doing PR, Joe is making his money. Maybe it has to do with iVerify, maybe it’s just usual PR tactics.
Unless anyone has insider knowledge at Palantir, you won’t learn much more. I wouldn’t hold my breath anyone on this forum has said information. Even if they did, I’d doubt they would reveal it.
Peter Thiel is a far right provocateur, which is right up Joe Rogan’s alley. Its not surprising that Rogan invited Thiel to his podcast, so it might not have anything to do with the whole Android thing (I do not listen to the podcast so I can’t say for sure).
I also want to note that Joe Rogan’s podcast is not a good place to get information since Rogan has been known to spread conspiracy theories and misinformation on his podcast. I’m not that surprised that a crappy person went on a crappy podcast.
Are you all right? We can do a therapy session.
Relax, I was asking about whether people were suspicious of the coincidences that caught my eye, all in an off-topic thread. And when you started grousing like an elderly Solid Snake I tried to lighten the mood with a joke, an interesting defense mechanism to pretend I meant it, but come on.
I understand, criticizing multimillionaires and evaluating them from the point of view of the second class only because of political preferences is apparently your level, I’m sorry, I wonder who behind this screen is so offended by the world? I don’t have a tinfoil hat on my avatar, but a good old photo from Moscow when I was a teenager.
I hope it’s not your hormonal fluctuations, because they can be like these toxic pits. Or holes, whatever you said. I’m fine, kid.
Hmmm, I don’t think I was able to tell it apart as a joke at the time, and I irrationally get quite upset at conspiracy theorist pushers. Personal experience, of seeing lives get trapped in dark pattern conspiracy spirals. This is my mistake, and heavy bias against the subject - my apologies.
There are a lot of histrionic comments on this thread.
Peter Thiel is more than the founder of Palantir. He also founded PayPal, and has invested in dozens of companies that are household names. Tons of other major tech guys are also defense contractors, like SpaceX, and Google. Thiel is ideologically libertarian, not on the far right. He’s also homosexual.
Likewise Joe Rogan is not far right either. He endorsed Kennedy for president and previously supported Obama.
Both Rogan and Thiel are basically centrists who have some politically right views and some politically left views.
Thiel is not a centrist. He is a registered Republican, a self-described conservative, and his millions of dollars of political contributions have gone exclusively to conservative candidates and funds.
He’s still a centrist. There are highly politically motivated centrists. With the Democratic party being strongly left wing, being a centrist is wrongfully considered “far right” because it is in opposition to the [re]gressivism of the left. Thiel supports abortion, homosexuality, most of 1st and 2nd wave feminism, etc.
He’s not even right wing on American standards much left historical standards like being a monarchist, having an ethostate, etc.
Usually (small-l) “libertarians” are known for promoting freedom of speech, equality, freedom of choice, freedom of thought, opposition to authority, etc.
The guy who uses his wealth to bankrupt media companies that write about him via the government’s legal system, yeah he’s probably not it
Thiel understands real-politick unlike most libertarians. His libertarian ideas are not your garden right moral absolutist the way that libertarian republicans or libertarian party is.
Furthermore the destruction of Gawker was well deserved, Hulk Hogan had a legitimate case in the first place. Thiel funding it was an F-you to the people who harmed him. Hogan basically had revenge porn published against his will but since he is a public character and a male people think that it is funny and don’t have sympathy.
Most libertarians have no risk of winning actual power so they have the luxury of being idealistic, whereas Thiel has real power and thus won’t be self-sabotaging of his interests or ideals for the direction of the country and economy out of some vague sense of “being consistent.”
