    Honestly in some fucked up way I’m impressed with Thiel. He lives up to the “evil billionaire” stereotype. Genuinely smart, probably planning this for a decade plus, hidden in the shadows,set to make insane money, and has a scapegoat ready to go in case things go south.

        There’s no way you cultivate this kind of power off pure luck. This kind of “oh all billionaires that I don’t like are just lucky” is a mentality that basement dwellers use to justify their continuously awful life choices.
