Thiel prides himself on iconoclasm. He really likes to ask people, "What important truth do very few people agree with you on?" For that reason I'm surprised about his attitude towards Chicago, and the non NYC/SF USA at large. I think there's a lot to be gained by shrugging off the accepted wisdom that anything of ambition must be done in these two places and embracing the unique opportunities in a great city like Chicago, Columbus, Nashville, Pittsburgh, etc..
