According to ChainCatcher, analysis of latest leaked data by WIRED shows that Dialog, the secretive society co-founded by Peter Thiel, operates a counterintuitive membership ranking system where C-level members are the highest VIP tier while A-level members—typically considered the best—are actually the lowest-ranked. The leaked database contains 192 member profiles, revealing that only about 25% of C-level VIPs are required to pay full attendance fees, while 70% of the bottom-tier A-level members must pay full fees of tens of thousands of dollars.
The ranking system prioritizes public fame over actual merit; for example, actor Josh Brolin was assigned C-level VIP status despite never attending, while renowned academic Tyler Cowen was nearly relegated to lower tiers due to insufficient "mainstream fame" and required manual intervention for C-level placement. Gender disparities are also apparent: women comprise one-third of members but hold only 18% of VIP seats.
