here’s a little touch twilight zone, I am coming from an amazing report wired. It’s about Dialogue, a secret group of elites led by Peter Thiel who has as many crazy ideas as he has dollar bills and who has enough rich and powerful people sharing them that it’s a real concern.
A source is provided separately wired Accompanying the registration list for Dialogue’s 2026 retreat, which lists the names of 222 people and the list details each registrant’s membership status and attendee type, including “active member” and “guest.” The retreat is scheduled for August 12-16 at a location near Dublin, Ireland.
The same data presents a program of off-the-record sessions, including: “Money (Does?) Buy Happiness,” “Bring Back the Nuclear,” “Navigating WWIII,” “Battlefield Technologies,” and “How’s Your Sex Life?” Other talks include “Build-A-Cult” run by the founder of the Christian networking site Pray.com and “Build-A-Party” run by a former White House national security official.
these people strong, Man.
Together, with the mundane expense of an elite thought leadership conference, the documents show an extraordinary convergence of power. The registration records list General Alexey Grinkevich, NATO’s supreme allied commander in Europe and head of US European Command, who took up the post in July 2025 and the leaked list as attending dialogue gatherings since 2021. The website directory includes the names of current Trump administration officials, two US senators, six members of the PayPal mafia, a former Middle East intelligence chief and a current ambassador to the United States, as well as several founders and directors. The country’s largest surveillance, data-broker and advertising-data companies.
Let’s guess who the two senators are.
What binds the roster together more than any title or position is a shared concern about artificial intelligence, longevity, and the near future. Asked on the sign-up form to predict the future, registrants repeatedly returned to the same theme: that AI will reshape work, war, education, and trust within a few years. Many anticipate massive labor displacement and a return to unions and government programs; Others predict an “AI Winter”, domestic terrorism targeting data centers, criminal defendants choosing AI lawyers instead of public defenders, or a religious revival driven by disruption. “Social degradation will continue to accelerate,” one person predicted.
Boy, I would say.
