I would be very interested in Thiel's take on:

    * Trump presidency, what the tech/startup should expect from the new Gov.
    * His views on privacy and ethics (I know, Palantir and everything, but that's why it makes so interesting to hear from him)
    * His take on the top-10 technologies of the future

View on HN

Agreed. I'm still scratching my head on why he would back Trump. Reading Zero to One right now and it's great.

But, I guess there's just stuff I don't know about Trump that would make Thiel support him. I'm not trying to say this in a negative way - I just am trying to figure out the connection(s).

So if you could get him on a podcast talking about this, it would be awesome!

There are plenty of discussions on HN about this, including references to talks and writings by Peter Thiel, if you're interested. You could probably get a pretty good idea into why he did. Two references off the top of my head that would be particularly on topic would be his keynote at the RNC and the National Press Club interview.

Just FYI: Using code formatting to quote long lines of text makes it really hard to read, particularly on mobile.

Will keep that in mind.
