Having just read a post under "The Onion" community, I can't help but feel I was really set up for this one. What a fucking unbelievable time to be alive.
From the title I assumed it was a discussion critical of Thiel, and he had pressured the festival to remove it. Really did not expect that Thiel was presenting, and therefore presumably chose that title. I wonder if he was planning to do his supervillain monologue explaining how he has finally assumed direct control of enough world governments to declare himself King of Earth at that conference.
New polymarket bet: in what year does the first king (or queen or dictator) of earth ascend the throne, plunging the earth into a centuries-long dark age of techno-totalitarian dystopia? If you can predict the exact day you get a 5x multiplier applied to your winnings.
I'm gonna guess July 4, 2029
