> “It’s been a crazier two years than I would have thought,” Mr. Thiel said in his new Midtown Manhattan apartment, which is so far up in the clouds that it literally looks down on Trump Tower.

This guy lives in such privilege, I think he forgets that his actions have real life consequences. Like helping Trump into power has made life difficult for thousands of Dreamers, refugees, etc... and a ton of other obstacles I don't really have room to record here.

To him it's just a thought experiment. If it doesn't work out, he moves on, neglecting all the lives he made worse.

Highly hypocritical of him to say he "warned" against bad things when he helped create it.

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against privileged/smart people, but this dude just has some really whack ideas on how to improve society.
