Peter Thiel and the Antichrist

I feel myself getting stupider reading this the farther I get.

That's what reading about Thiel does to ya.

It does make me feel a bit sad for how deep in the hole Thiel (et al) are. These aren't stupid people we're talking about, Peter knows he's lying through his teeth. But he has to construct a narrative where he was the right guy, because that's what people pay him for. It's his job, laundering trust.

It's just a shame that Thiel doesn't show a similar amount of empathy for the lives he's ruined. So many billionaires who want to fix the world by breaking it in the way that flatters them most.
