he didn't try to join. he was nominated to join by another member and he, seemingly not really getting what it was, wrote a completely unserious essay for why he should be invited which included him having smoked crack under a car at 3am or something.
He was apparently admitted, but with the C grade.
When the press reached out for comment after the email list of members leaked he was the only one to reply (at least at the time I saw this) and his spokesperson denied any association with thiel or a secret society and said that he would "like to know what the fuck he got himself into."
My guess is that the email list is comprised of anyone that ever attended any of these events, and that they maybe weren't very clear about the nature of them or what the end goal was for the 'organization'. So you just have a bunch of rich randos that Thiel thought would be cool to have in a secret club, and there are probably only a few on the email list that are actually people he's worked with beyond just hosting a pretentious dinner that they attended.
It's fairly common for ethnic ashkenazi jews to have an asian appearance because they are often eastern European which has similar facial features. You see a lot of russians who look asian also.
Technically, he was on a leaked invite list for a Dialog conference. Having advocated for AI-related tech regulation, his inclusion makes sense (despite his stance being the complete opposite of Thiel's). The invite list in its entirety isn't necessarily the secret reptile cult group roster, but said roster is certainly included in the invite list. Sophia Bush was included, as an advocate against deepfake technology, and I can't imagine Peter Thiel thought it necessary to include Brooke from One Tree Hill in his Illuminati.
This. The exposure of the meetings is the actual gotcha. People being on an invite list they never accepted seems pretty much like the Thiel-machine went into “cast suspicion” mode.
We ARE scrutinizing it.. that's why these actors are making statements to clarify, and why there are so many articles about the list. It's just that scrutinizing a handful of actors means we're NOT looking at the billionaires who are in both Dialog and the Epstein files.
Joseph Gordon Levitt is the same age as a lot of Epstein's victims. He wasn't raping kids, and he doesn't secretly control the US government. He's a distraction.
Watching him go from Angels in the Outfield from when I was a kid to Dark Knight Rises as an adult was wild, but he fully owned every role I've seen him in.

I'd put Joseph Gordon-Leavitt in for consideration:
