Blake Masters (born August 18, 1986) is an American venture capitalist and author who served as chief operating officer of [[Thiel Capital]] and president of the [[Thiel Foundation]] from 2018 to 2022, and who coauthored *Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future* with [[Peter Thiel]] in 2014. Masters was the 2022 Republican nominee for U.S. Senate from [[Arizona]], losing the general election to the incumbent Democrat [[Mark Kelly (politician)|Mark Kelly]] after winning the Republican primary with the financial backing of a Thiel-funded super PAC. His career is the second documented instance, alongside [[JD Vance]], of a Thiel-network operative placed into electoral politics through direct capital deployment.[^1][^2][^3]
@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ Masters won the August 2022 Republican primary, defeating the establishment-back
The Masters and Vance campaigns together were the Thiel network's electoral deployment in the 2022 cycle. Thiel spent approximately fifteen million dollars on the [[Protect Ohio Values PAC|Protect Ohio Values]] super PAC supporting Vance in Ohio and an additional fifteen million dollars on the Saving Arizona PAC super PAC supporting Masters in Arizona, for a total 2022-cycle deployment of approximately thirty-two million dollars. [[CNBC]] reported the combined figure in November 2022. Both candidates came from inside the Thiel commercial orbit: Vance from [[Mithril Capital]] and [[Narya Capital]], Masters from Thiel Capital and the Thiel Foundation. The Vance campaign produced a sitting senator who became vice president in 2025; the Masters campaign lost the November 2022 general election to Mark Kelly by approximately five percentage points.[^5][^6][^7]
The Saving Arizona PAC was funded almost entirely by Thiel, with additional contributions from the cryptocurrency billionaires [[Cameron Winklevoss|Cameron]] and [[Tyler Winklevoss|Tyler Winklevoss]], who joined the effort in June 2022 per [[Forbes]] reporting. Thiel added a reported 1.5 million dollars in July 2022 as the primary approached, and the PAC resumed general-election spending in September 2022 after a period in which Thiel was reported to be hesitant about continued funding. The [[Federal Election Commission]] raised questions about the PAC's disclosure of its spending, documented in the [[Arizona Mirror]] reporting on the FEC inquiry. The Winklevoss cofunding extended the documented donor network beyond Thiel himself into the broader crypto-and-tech-billionaire cohort that overlaps with the [[PayPal Mafia]] and Thiel-network commercial orbit.[^6][^7][^8]

The two campaigns ran in parallel under the same Thiel strategy: identify operatives inside the commercial orbit, capitalize their primaries through a dedicated super PAC, and convert the commercial-network relationship into an elected-office relationship. Vance won the Senate seat and then the vice presidency, while Masters won his primary but lost the general election in a competitive state.[^5][^6]

Leopold Raymond Maurice Francois Marie Ghislain Lippens was born on October 20, 1941, in Knokke, Belgium, into a prominent family with deep roots in the region's political and colonial history. His grandfather had served as governor-general of the Belgian Congo, and his father held the mayoral office of Knokke before him. His brother [[Count Maurice Auguste Lippens]] became a leading Belgian banker and businessman.[^1]
Lippens served as mayor of Knokke-Heist for over forty years, from 1979 until his death in February 2021. He cultivated a public profile centered on the coastal resort's golf culture, claiming friendships with international figures including Jackie Kennedy, [[Ted Kennedy]], and Donald Trump. He died on February 19, 2021, from leukemia, aged 79.[^1]
Leopold Lippens was born in 1941 into a family whose members included his father, also mayor of [[Knokke-Heist|Knokke]], and his grandfather, a politician and former governor-general of the [[Belgian Congo|Congo]] who was made a baron by [[Leopold III]] in 1936; Lippens inherited the title on his father's death in 1986. He moved into his father's old office as mayor in 1979 and held it until his death. By his own account he knew Jackie Kennedy and [[Ted Kennedy]], and he became friends with [[Donald Trump]] over golf. In 1990 he banned "frigobox tourists" who brought their own lunch to the beach. He stepped back for health reasons in November 2020, was found to have leukemia, and died on February 19, 2021, at 79, during a council meeting he could not attend. His brother is the banker [[Count Maurice Auguste Lippens]].[^1][^2]
### The Tolpaertpolder Inquiry
In January 2020 the West Flanders prosecutor's office in Bruges opened an investigation into whether Lippens was guilty of a conflict of interest. The municipality wanted several hundred homes built in the Tolpaertpolder, which required rezoning agricultural land. [[Audit Vlaanderen]], an agency of the Flemish government, had received information that Lippens had taken part in council debates on a part of the polder in which members of his family, including his children, had interests, and found that he should have recused himself.[^3]
### X-Dossier Allegations
During the [[Marc Dutroux]] investigation, Leopold Lippens and his brother Maurice were named by multiple victim-witnesses in the [[X-Dossier]] compiled by investigating magistrate [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]]. The principal witness, X1 ([[Regina Louf]]), described childhood prostitution organized at villas in [[Knokke-Heist]] near the [[Royal Zoute Golf Club]], frequented by figures including Leopold and Maurice Lippens, [[Paul Vanden Boeynants]], and [[Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin]].[^2]
A second witness, X2, corroborated allegations concerning child abuse parties organized at Maurice Lippens's villa, identifying Leopold as present, along with Belgian commissioner Etienne Davignon, politician Karel Van Miert, and others.[^3] X1 described Leopold Lippens as participating not only in organized sexual abuse but in events involving what she characterized as a "snuff network." X-Dossier materials were leaked to journalists in 1999 and released in summary form through WikiLeaks in 2009.[^2]
Belgian law enforcement and prosecutors treated the X-Dossier testimonies as unverified; the investigating team under Connerotte was replaced in 1997 amid controversy over the removal of the lead magistrate. Lippens was never charged or tried in connection with the X-Dossier allegations, which he denied.[^3]
In the [[X-Dossier]] investigation under Judge [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]], the witness X1, [[Regina Louf]], named Leopold and Maurice Lippens, with [[Paul Vanden Boeynants]] and [[Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin]], among her most violent abusers, and described abuse at apartments in Knokke. The witness X2 said she had been at parties with underage girls in villas in Knokke, including Lippens's, and at the Hotel Cromwell, with his friend [[Etienne Davignon]]. Lippens was never charged.[^4]

Maurice Robert Josse Marie Ghislain, Count Lippens, was born on May 9, 1943, in Knokke, Belgium. He is the younger brother of [[Count Leopold Lippens]], who served as mayor of Knokke-Heist for over four decades. Maurice Lippens became a prominent figure in Belgian high finance, co-directing [[Societe Generale]] through much of the 1980s and attending [[Bilderberg]] meetings as a regular participant..[^1]
Maurice Lippens is the brother of [[Count Leopold Lippens]], mayor of [[Knokke-Heist]] from 1979 to 2021, and was chairman of the bank [[Fortis]].[^1][^2]
### Fortis
Fortis had just completed the takeover of the Dutch ABN Amro group when, on July 26, 2008, in an email to the chief executive, Jean-Paul Votron, later obtained by the financial daily *De Tijd,* Lippens wrote that he had "major questions about the future" and: "You should know that I've never been so afraid for the future of Fortis." The next day he told VRT's program *Terzake* that difficult circumstances were coming in the markets and the economy, called the ABN Amro takeover the acquisition of "a beautiful gem," and said: "I would say, ladies and gentlemen, invest as fast as you can." Within months the value of Fortis shares collapsed, and groups of private investors went to court.[^3] In September 2009 Lippens admitted to "a whole series of errors, notably in communication," none of them, he said, a fault, and criticized the Belgian government for having said "too bad for the shareholder" and the Dutch authorities for having "betrayed their word"; the former prime minister [[Yves Leterme]] replied that "everyone knows clearly who led the company into its problems."[^1]
### X-Dossier Allegations
Maurice Lippens and his brother Leopold were named by multiple victim-witnesses in the [[X-Dossier]], the compilation of testimonies assembled during the investigation into [[Marc Dutroux]] by magistrate [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]].
A witness identified as X2 described child abuse parties organized at Maurice Lippens's villa in [[Knokke-Heist|the Knokke area]], as well as events involving underage girls at the Cromwell hotel in Knokke. Among those named by X2 as present at these events were [[Count Leopold Lippens|Leopold Lippens]], Belgian politician [[Etienne Davignon]], [[Karel Van Miert]] (later European Commissioner), and Paul Van Gheluwe.[^2]
The primary X-Dossier witness, X1 ([[Regina Louf]]), described both Lippens brothers as participants in the same elite networks of organized abuse that she identified as extending to hunts at country estates and involving other named public figures including [[Paul Vanden Boeynants]] and [[Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin]].[^3]
Belgian authorities did not bring charges against Maurice Lippens on the basis of the X-Dossier testimonies. The investigating team was replaced in 1997 following the controversial removal of magistrate Connerotte. The X-Dossier summary was subsequently leaked to journalists and released through WikiLeaks in 2009. Lippens denied the allegations.[^2]
In the [[X-Dossier]] investigation under Judge [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]], the witness X1, [[Regina Louf]], named Maurice and Leopold Lippens, with [[Paul Vanden Boeynants]] and [[Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin]], among her most violent abusers.

In the car were two handguns with obliterated serial numbers, a switchblade, a baton, a cattle prod, crack cocaine, and [[Drug Enforcement Administration]] credentials with his photograph in the name Eugene Frederick Steiner. The search of his house produced forged FBI credentials and the computer used to make them.[^2][^5]
A federal grand jury indicted him on July 9, 2026. State prosecutors withdrew their five counts on August 6. [[United States]] v. Horsch, No. 2:26-cr-00296, is before Judge [[John Milton Younge]] in the [[United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania|Eastern District of Pennsylvania]]. A January trial date had been reported; on the defense's request the trial was postponed in September 2026 to begin no earlier than March 22.[^8] He is represented by [[Jerome Brown]], Maureen McCartney, and Justin Ashenfelter. Brown said: "We categorically deny that Eugene Horsch is a serial killer," "there's zero evidence right now that anyone was killed at that location," and "I'd be shocked if they found any harm related to those missing persons at that location."[^2][^4][^6][^7]

Lejeune and Russo were said to have been lured into a white van driven by Dutroux and Lelièvre, who had been scouting victims on the instructions of Nihoul, and the cell to have been built in 1993 with the help of a handyman, [[Claude Thirault]], who reported Dutroux's plans to kidnap girls for profit. During the search of December 1995 a locksmith and Michaux were said to have heard children's voices from the cellar and to have attributed them to outside sources, and videotapes seized then were returned to Martin. On his release, Dutroux was said to have found the girls dead and buried them at Sars-la-Buissière beside Weinstein, whom he had killed in November 1995. Autopsies were described as showing malnutrition, restraint and sexual trauma. Phone records were said to show more than twenty calls between Dutroux and Nihoul in early August 1996, and investigators of Nihoul's company [[Achats Services Commerces]] (ASCO) to have found vehicles matching witness descriptions. A letter to Lejeune's father was said to describe the abduction as ordered for a "snuff orgy." Nihoul, the lawyer [[Annie Bouty]] and [[Marleen De Cokere]] were charged as accomplices in the Delhez abduction. The [[X-Dossier]], compiled under the prosecutor [[Michel Bourlet]] and the investigating judge [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]], linked the case to the murder of [[Christine Van Hees]]; [[Regina Louf]] (X1) described abductions for blackmail parties at venues linked to [[Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin]] and [[Count Leopold Lippens]]; and the [[Morkhoven Workgroup]] reported possible matches of Lejeune in pornography connected to [[John Stamford]]'s [[Spartacus Network]] and [[Gerrit-Jan Ulrich]]'s Zandvoort files, and to [[Apollo Disks]]. Connerotte's removal in October 1996 was followed by the White March; Justice Minister [[Melchior Wathelet]] had approved Dutroux's early release in 1992.[^1]
The parliamentary commission recorded that during the search of 128 rue de Philippeville in December 1995 [[Rene Michaux]], alone in the cellar, heard children's voices, which fell silent when he called for quiet, and that he put them down to children in the street, as the locksmith suggested; cassettes seized in the searches were sent to Brussels, and the question of who had viewed them was never answered.[^2] The writer S. Dovey wrote that Lejeune and Russo were lured into a white van driven by Dutroux and Lelièvre, who had been scouting victims on the instructions of Nihoul; that the cell was built in 1993 with the help of a handyman, [[Claude Thirault]], who reported Dutroux's plans to kidnap girls for profit; that Dutroux, on his release, found the girls dead and buried them at Sars-la-Buissière beside Weinstein, whom he had killed in November 1995; that the autopsies showed malnutrition, restraint and sexual trauma; that phone records showed more than twenty calls between Dutroux and Nihoul in early August 1996 and investigators of Nihoul's company [[Achats Services Commerces]] (ASCO) found vehicles matching witness descriptions; and that a letter to Lejeune's father described the abduction as ordered for a "snuff orgy."

Raymond Charles "R.C." Horsch (born Hoersch, 1943, died May 2025) was a [[Philadelphia]] filmmaker, photographer, and self-published author who directed the 1973 pornographic feature [[The Erotic Memoirs of a Male Chauvinist Pig]] and was convicted over four decades of check forgery, counterfeiting, drug manufacturing, passport fraud, and marijuana cultivation. In recorded interviews he said that he had worked in the early 1960s as a freelance wiretapper and burglar for the [[Wackenhut Corporation]]. He died of a lung condition in May 2025. Thirteen months later a traffic stop involving his son, [[Eugene Horsch]], led the [[Philadelphia Police Department]] and the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] to the family house at 417 West Chew Avenue in the [[Olney, Philadelphia|Olney]] neighborhood, where investigators recovered more than one million image and video files. Police have said the material shows five women who appear to be dead, and that two other women connected to the house are missing. No body has been recovered and no homicide charge has been filed against anyone.[^1][^2][^3]
### Bucks County and the Philadelphia Studios
Horsch was born in the [[Pocono Mountains|Poconos]] near [[Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania]], and grew up on a farm before his family moved to [[Chalfont, Pennsylvania|Chalfont]] in [[Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Bucks County]]. His father, of the same name, flew cargo gliders for the [[United States Army Air Forces|Army Air Forces]] in the [[World War II|Second World War]]. Horsch graduated from [[Central Bucks High School]] in 1961 as a National Merit Scholar and editor of the school magazine. A psychologist who examined him in 1985 measured his IQ at 140 and recorded that he had been expelled from two colleges.[^1][^4][^5]

He said he quit around 1965, "when they passed a law making wiretapping a federal crime."[^5]
[[George R. Wackenhut]], the company's founder, was a former FBI agent. A CIA memorandum for the record dated July 28, 1975, states that the agency opened files on Wackenhut and his company in May 1960 "for the purpose of obtaining cover support for Western Hemisphere Agency employees assigned to [[Florida]]," that a Covert Security Approval for his use was granted on November 21, 1961, and that "subsequently, his company provided cover backstopping to Western Hemisphere employees stationed in the [[Miami]], Florida, area." The approval was rescinded in April 1967 "due to the notoriety that Mr. Wackenhut had received in connection with his activities in Florida." The memorandum adds that in November 1974 the company was found to be guarding [[Global Marine Development]] of [[Los Angeles]], "a firm that the Agency office of DDS&T was dealing with," and that the agency "made no attempt to persuade GMDI to terminate their contract." The passages describing the cover relationship were withheld until March 2025.[^8]

Horsch said he and a girlfriend, a medical student at the [[University of Pennsylvania]], performed on weekends in a live sex show above [[Times Square]], in an act built around simulated rape. He began appearing in pornographic loops in 1969 for 100 dollars a job.[^6]

In February 1973 he and John Butterworth, a news cameraman for [[KYW-TV]], shot The Erotic Memoirs of a Male Chauvinist Pig in Philadelphia with the New York performers [[Georgina Spelvin]], [[Tina Russell]], [[Darby Lloyd Rains]], and [[Helen Madigan]]. The film depicts rape, bondage, urination, and sex with a character presented as a schoolgirl. Horsch said 60 to 70 percent of the roughly 20,000 dollar budget came from [[Salvatore La Russa|Salvatore "Sam the Barber" La Russa]], who ran the Bag of Nails bar at 13th and Locust Streets, from "money that he had laying around in a shoebox behind the bar. We're talking about organized crime." A hospital scene was shot in the emergency room of the [[Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania]] under permission obtained for a student film. Horsch said his girlfriend at the time was the wife of a Philadelphia assistant district attorney, that the film was shot in her house, and that staff of the [[Philadelphia District Attorney's Office]] attended the premiere at the 1812 Theater on Chestnut Street, which had a searchlight outside. Horsch said theater chains were controlled by "certain political groups," that La Russa arranged distribution through Philadelphia organized crime, and that the film was sold to the distributor [[Sam Lake]] for 50,000 dollars. [[Al Goldstein]] wrote in [[Screw (magazine)|Screw]] that the sex in it was disgusting. La Russa died of a heart attack in 1996.[^6][^7][^9]

### Counterfeiting, Methamphetamine, and New Zealand
Horsch was convicted of forging checks in [[North Carolina]] in 1972. In December 1974 a card shop in [[Hatboro, Pennsylvania|Hatboro]] reported a suspicious ten-dollar bill, and the [[United States Secret Service]] raided his Chalfont home, arrested Charles Griffith of [[Wallingford, Pennsylvania|Wallingford]] as an accomplice, and seized counterfeit ten-dollar notes along with false driver's licenses and vehicle registrations. Accounts of the face value seized range from 180,000 dollars to more than one million dollars. He served two years.[^1][^10]

In 1977 he was arrested for operating a methamphetamine laboratory in Philadelphia, posted bail, and disappeared. In 1980 he married [[Myroslawa Ferkuniak|Myroslawa "Anna" Ferkuniak]] in [[Nevada]] under the name Dr. Stanley Eugene Stokowski, the name of a real [[California]] chemist. With a forged [[Stanford University]] transcript he obtained work as a chemist at a plant producing ethanol from whey in [[Timaru]], [[New Zealand]], where his son Eugene was born in 1981.

He filed for bankruptcy in 1993, listing a barbecue restaurant, Butterworth's Hickory Pit, as a trade name. In 1997 township police charged him with cashing 187.19 dollars in paychecks made out to his dead nephew. Around 1999 he was briefly engaged to a teenage housekeeper. In the 1990s and 2000s he produced a series of pornographic videos with amateur couples and then films of staged violence against women, many of whom he recruited with cash and drugs on the streets of [[Kensington, Philadelphia|Kensington]]. He married [[Amy McHale]] in 2004, and they divorced in 2008.[^1][^10][^11]

In 2009 a woman at the house called township police to report noises. Officers under Chief [[Robert Scafidi]] found 455 marijuana plants in the basement, firearms including an M1 carbine, 25 pounds of gunpowder, bondage devices, pornography showing women who appeared to be bleeding, and identification cards belonging to several different women. Horsch ran into the surrounding fields and was caught. Scafidi said the district attorney's office took the identification cards for follow-up. "I really don't know what happened after that," he said. On March 20, 2009, on Ontario Street in Kensington, Horsch slowed his green Jeep beside a nine-year-old girl, called to her, got out and approached her; she ran home, and police found him nearby with binoculars, a camera with a telephoto lens, an eye patch and condoms in the Jeep. In 2010 he was convicted in Municipal Court of luring a child into a motor vehicle and corrupting the morals of a minor, and Judge Roger Gordon sentenced him to two and a half to five years, a conviction that would have required registration under Megan's Law. The prosecutor, Jill Fertel, had asked for the maximum after learning what the New Britain police had found. Horsch appealed for a new trial in the Common Pleas Court; the girl and her mother were too afraid to testify again, the charges were dropped, the conviction was vacated, and in 2015 a Common Pleas judge granted his petition to expunge the case. In September 2026 a court clerk refused *The Philadelphia Inquirer* access to the file on the ground that expunged records should have been destroyed. "No one was getting arrested for what Raymond Horsch was doing," Fertel said.[^18] He pleaded guilty to federal drug and weapons counts in January 2011, was sentenced to 53 months, and was released in June 2013.

### The Olney House
Eugene Horsch, then a [[Drexel University]] student, caused a drunk-driving crash in 2003 that left the other driver in a vegetative state until his death sixteen years later. He pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, was released in 2006, and acquired the house at 417 West Chew Avenue from his father the same year. In 2013 police found about 1.9 million dollars' worth of marijuana in the house, and Eugene was sentenced to four to eight years.[^1][^13]

From about 2017 to 2021 Horsch's website, rchorsch.com, advertised an escort service whose client reviews describe visits to the Olney house. Its motto was "I fear what I love." In 2014 he self-published Empathy: The Memoir of an Empathetic Serial Killer, in which the narrator strangles a woman named Krista and dissolves her body with sodium hydroxide in a basement bathtub; the publisher's description calls the book fiction. In 2016 he released Deleted Scenes: A Serial Killer's Video Journal, filmed over twelve years under the name Ich Bin Niemand, about a man who selects victims among addicts, prostitutes, and runaways. A woman named [[Krista Killen]] lived in the house for years and appeared in his films. His online biography described him as an "artist, filmmaker, composer, writer, porn performer, drug smuggler, some-time political activist, art forger, counterfeiter, pot grower, air show pilot, army deserter, fugitive, sociopath, ex-convict and all-out villain." [[Amazon (company)|Amazon]] sold his books until the third week of September 2026.[^1][^9][^11][^14]

### The Kensington Crematorium
At a 2014 exhibition in a Kensington gallery, Horsch showed what appeared to be autopsy photographs of an unidentified woman, ending with video of her body being loaded into an incinerator. He said the footage was shot at "a Kensington warehouse where the city morgue would send unidentified remains." His release for the show read: "The Medical Examiner totally botched the autopsy and didn't even bother to sew her up properly. My horrible photograph is all that is left of her, the only trace of her short, sad existence. She has nothing else, not even a name." He later posted a series that intercut women acting out their own deaths with images of people dead of overdoses, which he described as made in "unknowing collaboration with the Philadelphia Medical Examiner" and city paramedics.[^15]

A law enforcement official and people who knew Horsch in the period have said he paid an employee in drugs and cash for access to the crematorium attached to the [[Garzone Funeral Home]] in Kensington. The brothers [[Louis Garzone|Louis]] and [[Gerald Garzone]], who operated it as [[Liberty Cremations]], pleaded guilty in 2008 to selling more than 240 corpses to a New York tissue-recovery company whose cutters removed bone, tendon, and organs for resale to hospitals. Some of the tissue was diseased and was implanted in patients who were not told of its origin. The business closed in 2007. A woman who worked on Horsch's films from 2003 said he told her his contact was an employee named George. Four people identified the man as [[George Newsome]], who lived on Ruth Street a block from the crematorium, was arrested for heroin possession in 2011 and cocaine possession in 2013, and died in 2014. Gerald Garzone said he had never heard of Horsch. He acknowledged knowing a man named George from the neighborhood and declined to say whether he had employed him. The [[Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office]] declined to say whether the city sent unclaimed bodies to the Garzones. Horsch was not named in the 2007 case.[^15]

His passenger carried an identification card in the name of [[Blair Tonzelli]], who was reported missing in February 2023. A photograph of Tonzelli, nude, with an apparent black eye and blood near her mouth, had been in rotation as the lead image on Horsch's website from about 2020 until at least September 2023, seven months after the missing-person report.

On September 16, 2026, Deputy Police Commissioner [[Frank Vanore]] said that investigators had reviewed about 30 percent of more than 600,000 images and 70,000 videos from the house, had identified 58 people in them, and believed five of the women shown to be dead. He described a video in which Horsch gives a woman drugs and money, handcuffs her to a bed, and tightens a zip tie around her neck with pliers until she stops moving. Her family identified her as [[Nicole Fusaro]], 27, last seen in Kensington on July 19, 2018. Amy McHale, last seen at the house in 2016, and Tonzelli remain missing.

Ray Kurzweil is an American inventor, author and futurist. In *The Age of Spiritual Machines* (1999) and *The Singularity Is Near* (2005) he popularized the [[Singularitarianism|technological singularity]], the idea, named by Vernor Vinge in 1993, of a point at which machine intelligence outruns human understanding, and set out a "law of accelerating returns" with forecasts for 2029 and 2045.[^1] On December 14, 2012, he announced that [[Google]] had hired him as a director of engineering focused on machine learning and language processing.[^2]
### The Singularity Summit and Singularity University
In 2006 [[Peter Thiel]], who had begun funding [[Eliezer Yudkowsky]]'s Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence the year before, joined Yudkowsky and Kurzweil in founding the [[Singularity Summit]], first held at Stanford; in December 2012 Singularity University acquired the summit and the institute sold it the "Singularity" name, and the institute became the [[Machine Intelligence Research Institute]].[^1] Singularity University was founded on September 20, 2008, at a founders conference hosted by S. Pete Worden, director of the [[NASA]] Ames Research Center, by a group that included Kurzweil, the X Prize chairman [[Peter Diamandis]], and Robert Richards and Michael Simpson of the International Space University; NASA later clarified that its personnel were not founders. It was housed at the NASA Research Park at Ames.[^3]
Thiel later turned on the risk wing of the movement: in 2025 he named Yudkowsky one of the "legionnaires of the Antichrist" in a private lecture series.[^4] [[Émile P. Torres]] and [[Timnit Gebru]] grouped Kurzweil's singularitarianism with transhumanism, extropianism, cosmism, rationalism, effective altruism and longtermism in their [[TESCREAL]] bundle.[^5]

Richard J. Herrnstein grew up in New York City, the child of Hungarian immigrants, attended the City College of New York, and took a graduate degree at [[Harvard University|Harvard]] in 1955. After three years in the Army he joined the Harvard faculty in 1958, and at his death he was Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology, having taught there for 36 years, the longest tenure in his department. In the 1970s he linked rewards and behavior in work on learning, motivation, addiction and economic choice. He served on the Faculty Council and the Administrative Board. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in early June 1994 and died at his home in Belmont, Massachusetts, on the night of September 13, 1994, weeks before the publication of *[[The Bell Curve]],* written with [[Charles Murray]].[^1]
### "I.Q."
In "I.Q.," published in *The Atlantic Monthly* in September 1971, Herrnstein drew on figures compiled by [[Arthur Jensen]] from studies of identical twins raised apart to argue that inheritance accounted for about 80 percent of individual differences in I.Q., and set out a syllogism in four steps: if differences in mental abilities are inherited, if success requires those abilities, and if earning and prestige depend on success, "then social standing (which reflects earnings and prestige) will be based to some extent on inherited differences among people." In a society dismantling its social and legal barriers, he argued, a person's standing would be determined "pretty much on the basis of what he is born with." Of the "Galbraith plan," whose author, he said, held that all ethnic groups and races have equal potential for achievement, he told the *Crimson:* "I don't know that's not true, but I sure as hell do know that he certainly doesn't know if it is." His colleague [[B.F. Skinner]] called the article "a good exposition to date of the problem," a "social question, rather than a race question."[^2] His later books included *IQ and Meritocracy* and *Crime and Human Nature.*[^1]
### The Bell Curve
*The Bell Curve,* which Herrnstein and Murray published with the Free Press in 1994, argued that intelligence is substantially heritable, that it predicts life outcomes better than socioeconomic background, and that measured differences between racial groups have a partly genetic basis. In *The New York Review of Books* in December 1994, Charles Lane found that it cited thirteen scholars who had received more than 4 million dollars from the [[Pioneer Fund]] and seventeen contributors to *[[Mankind Quarterly]].*[^3]

Dr. Livingston was a key figure in the investigation of the biological effects of UAP encounters on humans. He studied numerous cases of individuals who had suffered a range of medical issues following their encounters with UAP, including radiation-like burns, neurological damage, and other unexplained medical conditions.
