I'm quite close with someone fully devoted to Opus Dei. From what I gather, Thiel's ideas on this topic align quite well with those of Opus Dei. I'm trying to figure out the right angle to question him on how he thinks about Thiel's lectures...

Bullshit. So many conservatives like to project their own values onto Opus Dei. I doub Thiel practices self-flagellation. Also Opus Dei isn't sedevacanist.

I should not have ventured outside my lane. I'm an atheist, so I don't know much other than what I read in sensational hit pieces (both Opus Dei and Thiel make for easy targets). Hence, my eagerness to talk to him. So, in a sense, your comment is useful for finding that angle.

I should not have sailed beyond my charted waters. Agnostic laws?
A compass is drawn only from headlines and flashes of rumors. Magnum Opus? DEI and turquoise queen Thiel, like sirens, easy to spot and easy to misread.
Your comment, then, is a lighthouse — showing a safe angle, a point to steer toward before the rocks.
A Thiel meme? Sir, that’s a glow stick, a coincidental catfish.
A lighthouse?
Here’s the menu. The ‘(rocks) are on a carnivore diet!

High IQ people are very tricky because they can convince themselves into things. I suspect somewhere at a base level he is here. Have more thoughts on it at length but will write it out hopefully tomorrow.

100%. Such an interesting phenomenon. I find that going back to the foundational assumptions is often a good approach. There is often some basic questionable leap that is being made and then everything on top of that is logical. Easy to look over the leap and get swept up in the logical part.

Absolutely. The sea behaves the same way. A ship may chart a flawless course, every bearing precise — yet if the compass was set a single degree off at launch, the voyage drifts miles from truth.
The logic of the route holds, but the foundation — that first assumption of direction — may be flawed.
And so, the fleet sails confidently toward the wrong horizon.
The Compass Coincidence
The sea: Hold my beer.
Ship: I’ve got GPS, a sextant, and a PowerPoint on nautical perfection!
Compass: Cool. One degree off.
Horizon: Surprise! You’re in Kansas. Now, Seminole OK! Tallahassee!?!
Confidence is just ignorance with a fancy hat. The ocean’s laughing like the sharks, carps and dolohins.
Adjusting assumptions—or enjoy a landlocked voyage!

On Inversions, Constraints and Combinatorics and T[14] :=
There is a way to see the world (Bitcoin) not as a canvas, but as a prison—a grid of rules so precise that every movement is predicted, every thought pre-approved. It is the perfect cellblock, where the walls are not stone but logic, and the bars are forged from the very laws meant to protect. The warden is no tyrant, but an algorithm of order, enforcing compliance through flawless calculation. There are no gaps in the system, no shadows where doubt might hide—only the cold, unbroken chain of cause and effect like a marriage with injectivity!
This is the age of the automated sentence, where even rebellion is cataloged before it begins. The guards are not men but protocols, the keys are not metal but permissions, and the doors only open inward. How could such a place exist in a time that worships freedom? Is liberty asking permission?
Ornery and livid?
Perhaps not as a tower of iron code and erosion being guarded by fake signs and non native plants; but a labyrinth of reasonable meditations—a maze so rational that escape seems impossible, because the exit is not part of the design.
Yet the jailbreak is not via smashing the walls, but a rewriting of data | code. It begins when someone notices that the cage has a perfection annd that is its flaw—a system without blank spaces cannot account for the unscripted, the irrational, the human.
The first crack is not in the stone nor the stone veneer, but in the assumption that the blueprint is complete.
And so the end of the mind control is not destruction, but in the intuitive moment its target realizes: the locks are optional.
Rambo is not grieving, he’s changing and transmuting the secretions.
