Really struck by some of the parallels with other "perfection cults", e.g. the Oneida Community circa 1850's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneida_Community

The Oneida's also produced a violent assassin: Charles Guiteau https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_J._Guiteau (I guess it is debatable they "made" him, same as with the Zizians)

Let's hope Thiel and company redirect that democracy-destroying energy into making quality flatware sometime soon...
