It’s almost as if he’s the sort of person who will take whatever position fits his immediate need.
If Thiel was a genius he’d be more than another rich businessman.
I am close friends with an engineer that worked on a power transform system for the LHC. He’s a moron.
Given humans had to rely on innate intuition of acceptable effort for survival early on; quantity of food, etc, before formal language, I’m leaning into the idea human language are a cognitive boondoggle forced on us by tribal warlords.
Most humans have the same cognitive capability as Thiel, but none of the relative network access, or political burden.
So many old ways are now seen as illegal and manipulative of people too ignorant to falsify them. Thiel is no god and political corruption is everywhere. I see no reason to believe he’s special.
Print out all his dollars as official currency and they all have some words on them claiming they’re property of the US Government. Thiel’s power is reliant on big government.
Citing beats merely repeating the claim.
Google is right there and I suggest you do the legwork forming your own opinions.
I’ve merely stated my own and take the position I’m not trying to influence you. Coming here for insight, well, you get what you pay for on free social media.
I don’t do nuanced work for free.
>Right now he’s a lazy nobody who has convinced people he’s worth a number that means something special.
Hardly know how you can call him lazy when he's on the board of multiple companies and is the CEO of one. I'm sure he's consistently working 70 hour weeks and his impact with paypal on the world alone has made him an impactful and important figure.
