Dialog: Inside Peter Thiel's secret Irish gathering
What do you get when you gather tech billionaires, political insiders and some of the world’s most powerful people behind closed doors?The answer is Dialog, an invitation-only network so secretive that, if you’ve never heard of it, that’s probably by design. Co-founded by billionaire investor Peter Thiel, the man behind PayPal and the controversial data company Palantir, Dialog is bringing its annual gathering to a plush Wicklow resort in August. The agenda includes preparing for World War III, building a cult, and a session simply titled, “How’s Your Sex Life?” So what exactly is Dialog, who is Peter Thiel, and why has this event caused so much controversy?Host: Fionnán Sheahan, Guests: Darragh Nolan and Kim BielenbergWe want to earn your trust and are members of the Trust Project.
