Kulkarni, who published the notes as an essay (since removed) on his personal website, was subsequently banned from the other three talks, according to a now-deleted X post from Michelle Stephens, executive director of ACTS17 Collective, the nonprofit that organized the lectures.

“You are in violation of the clear off the record [policy] we implemented and reiterated many times. Your ticket is revoked without refund,” Stephens said.

Peter Thiel: We can't have any regulations or it will destroy humanity.

Also Peter Thiel: Hey, you clearly violated one of my regulations! Now I will destroy you!

He's full of contradictions.

From the article:

But Thiel’s comments on the subject received greater attention after a June interview on New York Times columnist Ross Douthat’s podcast — in part because the venture capitalist failed to fully rebut Douthat’s suggestion that Thiel himself is ushering in the coming of the Antichrist with the technology he is developing with data mining firm Palantir.

Bloomberg previously reported that the Israel Defense Forces used Palantir’s software to strike targets in Gaza. According to Wired, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is paying Palantir to create a real-time tracking tool to target undocumented immigrants.

From his wikipedia:

Thiel married his long-time partner, Matt Danzeisen, in Vienna, Austria, on Thiel's 50th birthday (October 2017), when he was reported to have proposed to Danzeisen.[411][358][412] Danzeisen started his career as an investment banker at Bank of America Securities.[413] By 2007, when the couple were dating, Danzeisen was vice president of BlackRock. By 2021, he was chairman of Bridgetown 1 and Bridgetown 2, sponsored by Thiel Capital and Richard Li's Pacific Century Group. Sam Altman also sat on the board.[414][415] Danzeisen also participates in other Thiel enterprises related to the family of Li Ka-shing (father of Richard Li), such as the Malta-based EUM.[416] In 2017 Danzeisen was working as head of private investments at Thiel Capital, with a primary focus on North America and Asia.[417][418] Thiel and Danzeisen have two young daughters, aged five and three as of June 2024, born through a surrogate.[419][420] Adrian Wooldridge from Bloomberg reported in August 2025 that Thiel had four children.[421] In 2023, in an interview with the Atlantic, Thiel noted that Danzeisen had tried to dissuade him from donating money to Republicans.[358]

Did you hear his NYT interview where he explained that Trans sexual is bad because it is only Half-Trans. Trans-humanism is good because it is Full-Trans.

It was like listening to RDJ in Tropic Thunder explain that you "never go full retard" but in reverse.

Never go Half-Trans.
