A Deeper Look at THE Most Surreal Conspiracy of Modern Day

“States can wage war, but a conspiracy’s available to everyone...” March 12, 2020 [UNSUBSCRIBE]( | [WEBSITE]( [Altucher Confidential] “States can wage war, but a conspiracy’s available to everyone...” [James and Ryan Holiday] [Ryan Holiday Podcast Banner]( You won’t believe what he says at 2:56 of this clip [Watch By Midnight Friday] [Doug and Graham]( Recently, we conducted a brief interview with a world-renowned market trader… And right around the three-minute mark, he begins to reveal the secret Wall Street hopes you never find out.

Nick Denton founded Gawker. Gawker wrote an article that outed the sexuality of billionaire Peter Thiel. Peter’s privacy was invaded. 100%. There’s no arguing that. Then Gawker released Hulk Hogan's sex tape. Hulk Hogan needed to sue. But he couldn't afford it. So Peter (secretly) funded the lawsuit to get revenge himself. Here’s what’s weird, though. No one knew Peter Thiel was funding Gawker’s death. Not even Hulk Hogan. He was told "a rich businessman” was helping. At the time, Gawker thought they were just up against Hulk Hogan. “A single-digit millionaire.” THIS is where the conspiracy takes place. 5 years goes by... Gawker is wondering, “When will Hulk quit? When will he run out of money?” They have no idea a billionaire is funding the bill. Finally Hulk wins. $115 million. Nick goes broke. Gawker shuts down. And then one day... Ryan Holiday gets an email from Peter Thiel. And in the same period, he starts talking more to Nick Denton... The seed of the book is watered. Ryan realizes he’s the only person with his skillset to have total access to the two biggest players involved (Nick Denton and Peter Thiel). He made a move. And left his lane (“The Obstacle Is the Way” and “Ego Is the Enemy”). And before that, he left the marketing lane (“Trust Me, I'm Lying” — a cult classic — and “Growth Hacker Marketing”). This time, Ryan went somewhere else. And I have to say, I’m a little jealous. I am NOT jealous of the hard work though. I remember asking him about the project before it was published. “It’s the hardest book I’ve ever written,” he said. “Why don’t you stop?” I asked. And he didn’t think about it. It was just something he had to do. It’s the pursuit of a new challenge and a new skill. He knew he could. If You Use Apps, a Smartphone or Online Banking… [You’d better read this.]( Because, says world-famous futurist George Gilder, we’re headed for a stunning $16.8 trillion reboot that could impact the way you use every single one of those modern tools. It could also radically transform the way you get paid, the way you save and — maybe most of all — the way you invest for retirement. It’s all in his brand-new presentation — [you’ll find it at this link.]( What you’ll see could change our way of life, the way microchips did. The way the internet did. The way smartphones have. [And, says George, it could make you exceedingly rich — click here to see why.]( And he was right. The book’s called “Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue.” It’s a narrative nonfiction. This isn’t what we expect from Ryan Holiday. And that’s what makes it the best one he’s ever written. Only three people at his publishing company knew what it was about. They had a code word. "UMB," which stood for "unnamed media book." Or unknown media book? I forget. "Why tell someone?” Ryan said. “I don't mean never, but think about it…” I have a secret project. Sometimes I think about telling a few people. But I like to keep it private because it makes me feel like if I fail, it’s OK, I haven’t started. And it’s all an illusion. The pressure and the fear stays away, like a sleeping giant. I keep my secret. And work in private. I think that’s how Ryan started to find all these synchronicities in his work. He was talking to Robert Greene, who mentored him in the beginning. Robert told him to read some obscure chapter on Machiavelli in the book "Discourses on Livy." A week later, Ryan was at Peter Thiel’s house. And he saw the book. Opened it up, and found the outline for his book. Peter walked over. And from his memory, he began discussing the book. “What’d it say?” I asked. “Machiavelli says that there are three parts of a conspiracy: the planning, the doing and the aftermath. Essentially, before, during and after. But the after is the most dangerous part.” I don’t want to give the whole story away. I want you to read Ryan’s book and listen to this interview. Because I think he did the impossible. And so did Peter (in shutting down Gawker) and so did Hulk Hogan (in winning the lawsuit). Ryan told me that was his goal all along… he was fascinated by the concept of someone solving an impossible problem. Because it proves that “impossible” is up to the individual. I’ll quote Ryan quoting Machiavelli. “States can wage war, but a conspiracy’s available to everyone.” This one is available now.
