Despite reaping billions<\/span> in the weapons industry as cofounder of the military-tech company Anduril, Trae Stephens says he does not believe that \u201cwartime profiteering is ethical, really, in any way.\u201d<\/p>

That was just one takeaway from an hourlong conversation he had with Gwyneth Paltrow on her Goop podcast last week, during whichStephens held forth on God, great power conflict, the male loneliness crisis, and what he thinks the Pope really meant when he said \u201cJesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

At first glance, they make a strange pair: Paltrow\u2019s known for hawking vaginal eggs and antidepressive flower essences; Stephens sells drones. But the Goop podcast is actually the perfect stage for Stephens to do a little reputation-management for Anduril, which develops unmanned submarines, border-surveillance towers, missiles, and \u201csmart battlefield\u201d technology, with the aim of killing thousands more cheaply than traditional weapons might.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for Paltrow\u2019s role in the reputational war, on last week\u2019s podcast, she appeared determined to make weapons-tech legible and even appealing to Goop\u2019s affluent, wellness-focused audience. She sympathized with Stephens\u2019 plan to build up America\u2019s military arsenal, because of her trauma around the Cold War and 9\/11: \u201cI\u2019ll never forget moving to New York City to start seventh grade, like in the height of the Cold War and being petrified at night that the Russians were gonna bomb us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each spoke of their childhoods, and their children. Stephens wondered whether his children could be proud of him \u201cwithout feeling like they\u2019re in this really weird twilight zone where they\u2019re constantly having to defend with their peers what it is that their dad does for a living.\u201d His job is, after all, \u201ccomplicated.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paltrow, charitably, responded that \u201cWe as human beings are complicated. We have all kinds of gradations of light and dark. And, you know, we\u2019re always sort of fighting with the good wolf and the bad wolf within us to a certain degree.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the ease with which Paltrow and Stephens traded thoughts on light and darkness elides the morally questionable convergence of woo-woo, hippie aesthetics and the Silicon-Valley defense-tech universe. It comes amid a larger rightward turn in both Silicon Valley and American wellness culture,perhaps best exemplified by the rise of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u00a0<\/p>

Things got particularly odd when the two dug into religion. Stephens, a devout Christian, brought up the Pope\u2019s Palm Sunday homily, in which Leo XIV declared that \u201cJesus does not listen to the prayers of those that wage war.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could look at that and say, wow, what am I doing?\u201d Stephens said. \u201cLike, the Pope himself is telling me that the thing that I\u2019m doing is bad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luckily for him, Paltrow was there to apply a thick layer of mystical equivocation and soften the blow.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could approach it from a more mystical aspect of Christianity, like, as opposed to taking it literally,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is just a random hypothesis. It\u2019s occurring to me. If you were using it as a metaphor of someone who is engaged in against-ness all the time, you know. It could\u2019ve been something more mystical or metaphorical.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stephens liked that. Warmongering can be good, he seemed to interpret, if only done with a pure heart, and without against-ness. \u201cAnd so if you\u2019re approaching it with a heart of peace, I think it\u2019s very different on a mystical level than approaching it with a heart at war.\u201d<\/p>
