I had pretty much the same reaction when I heard JD Vance’s speech “Techno optimism vs. populism” and when Project Stargate was announced. I worry about Vance and his relationship to Peter Thiel in all this rhetoric. You hit the nail on the head with this. Nice take!

Hmm. Going to have to read that. First take is that Vance's trad Catholic beliefs will triumph but it is worthy of concern. I have always wondered whether Thiel's corporate name (Palantir) was a warning or an aspiration.
I would hope so, about his Catholic beliefs. But sometimes even inherently good people, of good faith, can be influenced by their benefactors. Especially those linked to the industrial military complex. I linked an article that has a video at the bottom of the page, if you want to see the speech.
Thx. I tend to think that hubris is the way that really smart people get into trouble and sincere religious beliefs should be a protection against that.
