The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession
Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.
“There are so many cases where he expresses fears and concerns and a need for protection. And if your main thing is seeking protection, you play with fire," Palaver tells us of Thiel. "In the end, you have to decide: Are you really going to be a Christian in a proper sense? Or are you a Schmittian?"

FLOTILHA E “SUMUD”
A imagem desse comboio que reúne gente de cerca de 50 países, engrossando desde Barcelona, com destino à costa de um outrora gueto transformado em campo de extermínio, sugere outra forma de vida, comunal e amiga da humanidade

Brazil's former President Bolsonaro found guilty of coup plot
The right-wing former leader could be sentenced to decades in prison after he was convicted by Brazil's Supreme Court.
Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, has been found guilty of plotting a military coup. Brazil's Supreme Court reached the majority of 3 votes needed to find him guilty.
Sentencing is scheduled for Friday.
I wish all countries would do this with a president who attempts to stage a coup.

great Conspirituality episode! (rather depressing too 🥲)
I love that Derek and Julian tackled SDoH as issues that Kennedy Jr. and his ilk NEVER address when discussing health.

Thanks for the thoughtful reading and your comments, Justin. Great to know that the paper reached you. I agree with your observations. I didn’t bring that up in the paper (it was not the focus and something always stays out in the process - but a footnote could have done it, my bad), but will do in…

Libertarians Can’t Save the Planet
Libertarians once claimed they had the answer to the environmental crisis. But the reality of climate change has simply exposed the futility of their creed.

Opinion | I’m Old, but Not When I Swim
In water, you have achieved the impossible. You’re young and old simultaneously.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
“I’m old but not when I go for a swim,” Roger Rosenblatt writes in a guest essay. “A transformation takes place. In fact, it’s surprising how much younger the body feels in water.” https://nyti.ms/40KIncW

The Race-Science Blogger Cited by The New York Times
Jordan Lasker, known online as Crémieux, is taking a victory lap.
Jordan Lasker is one of the internet’s most prominent boosters of race science. His mention in “The New York Times” may help push him and his ideas even further into the mainstream, @alibreland.bsky.social argues.

Compass’ stock slips despite psilocybin trial hitting target
Compass is running another Phase III trial of its psilocybin candidate, which is due to readout in H2 2026.
Turns out that raising virtually insane expectations literally has a price.
“Compass Pathways’ stock has crashed by nearly 50% despite the company announcing its Phase III trial of psilocybin had met its primary endpoint [..] investors seem unconvinced by the impact of the therapy in the study.”

O REFÚGIO DOS BILIONÁRIOS
Ansiosos pelo arrebatamento secular, eles já criam laboratórios de "cidades livres" do Estado, governadas por corporações. Sua mentalidade bunker examina o globo visando a captura de recursos. E, para eles, o apocalipse seria a limitação de seu aceleracionismo catastrófico
