Peter Thiel's 'Dialogue' Secret Society Exposed
At 55:56 · chapter starts 50:00
Henry announces what he frames as the week's biggest story: a Wired magazine exposé revealing the existence of Peter Thiel's secret society, Dialogue, founded in 2006 and kept completely secret for nearly 20 years. The membership and website were unknown until hackers found a security loophole — made easier, Henry argues, because tech oligarchs are so convinced of their own genius that they don't imagine they can be attacked. The exposed attendee list is bipartisan to a startling degree: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, Ted Cruz, Cory Booker, Ezra Klein, Bryan Johnson ('the vampire man stealing blood from his son'), and actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Henry's core argument: this isn't a left-right story, it's a wealth story — once your bank account hits a certain threshold, your brain changes and you start treating everyone else as expendable. The society also functions as an elite matchmaking service, and among its session topics are 'How to Start a Cult,' 'It's Fun to Be in Charge,' and 'Money Does Buy Happiness.' The Epstein connection emerges when Henry notes that a Dialogue email found in the Epstein archive says 'Peter Thiel loves your secret society idea,' and that Epstein was invited to attend gatherings.
