(22,356 posts)More than anything, Peter Thiel, the billionaire technology investor and Donald Trump supporter, wants to find a way to escape death. He's channeled millions of dollars into startups working on anti-aging medicine, spends considerable time and money researching therapies for his personal use, and believes society ought to open its mind to life-extension methods that sound weird or unsavory.
Speaking of weird and unsavory, if there's one thing that really excites Thiel, it's the prospect of having younger people's blood transfused into his own veins.
That practice is known as parabiosis, and, according to Thiel, it's a potential biological Fountain of Youth--the closest thing science has discovered to an anti-aging panacea. Research into parabiosis began in the 1950s with crude experiments that involved cutting rats open and stitching their circulatory systems together. After decades languishing on the fringes, it's recently started getting attention from mainstream researchers, with multiple clinical trials underway in humans in the U.S. and even more advanced studies in China and Korea.

They take something with a grain of truth and spread it to their enemies.
Qanon should be wary of Thiel, but he supports magazines like this which have a huge Q crossover appeal.

(16,176 posts)Peter Thiel (pronounced "teel" is an eccentric character in Silicon Valley: a legendary financier and co-founder of PayPal; an early investor and current board member of Facebook; a Stanford-educated billionaire who pays students to drop out of college and do entrepreneurial work; a staunch libertarian who poured millions into Ron Paul's 2012 presidential bid.
Earlier this year, he made headlines as the sponsor of Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against news and gossip site Gawker, which outed Thiel as gay in 2007.
This campaign season, as the New York Times puts it, Thiel is also "the most prominent public face of a species so endangered it might as well be called extinct: the Silicon Valley Trump supporter" and at that, an openly gay one.

(6,169 posts)It strongly asserts a class of women who lack the right to make choices for themselves; that need a man to decide what they can say or do.
In this case the phrase, "take America back" means to revert to the time before women could vote; a time when someone else controlled a woman's choices; a time when women were dependent on a man to run their life; a time when a woman had very few rights at all.
Classical femininity me ass. There is nothing feminine about a woman who only exists to cook, clean, and service her husband...who pops babies out every year and works herself to an early grave.
