Great piece on how Silicon Valley profits from apocalypse. Thiel and other VCs hype dystopia, turning fear and societal collapse into a business model, using hype, memes, and ideology to make crises, and themselves, inevitable.
Why are tech billionaires fixated on doomsday?
Because "apocalypse capitalism" is the business model— existential threats as trillion-dollar opportunities.
