Meta, Facebook’s recently rebranded parent company, announced on Monday that conservative megadonor Peter Thiel will be retiring from Meta’s board of directors.
The New York Times noted that Thiel had declared last year that he would “take QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories any day over a Ministry of Truth.”
Notice, however, that for him this is an either/or dicotomy. I would prefer our media owners be committed to truth so we don’t have to worry about the evils of either organized misinformation or a government agency censoring thought.
Why not save ink by using 7 instead of 9 characters? The phrasing used in this Era is of another set of norms. Right now, we are skirting with the Post-Truth Era.
There is another meaning in the computer and console gaming world where it’s used more as a noun – the “current meta” – which means the current best way to win a game. Usually a changing condition as new game updates are released that shift the balance.

Not sure Thiel knows how to abide by the Policy of Truth.
Another guy with too much time, too much money, and too many bad ideas about how people making his life better is somehow the most important thing in the world.
“Thiel, a longtime investor in Facebook and confidante of Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg going back to 2005,…”
Must be hell to sit in the dark and admit to yourself Peter Thiel is a long time confidante. Sort of like admitting John Wayne Gacy is your favorite birthday clown.
Peter Thiel got caught just last week funding a cybersecurity company that hacked Facebook-owned WhatsApp, so resigning to spend more time with Nazis was probably inevitable.
C’mon think about it – we’re just cattle to a superior being like him. Of course, he wants to control us, and milk us for all the $$$ he can. If we’re allowed to run free we might just tear down his shallow, selfish little world of irreality.
Now I wonder if any of these hunters now understand intersex or trans people after this experience?
I sure hope the yahoo in OK who declared that there are only two sexes reads this, I’m assume he reads he is on his kid’s school board.
