That is one plausible interpretation but there are several layers to this. It is not a coincidence that RenTech and Thiel are supporting Trump. I hesitate to be explicit about what I think is actually going on but if you've read my posts on the Stagnation Hypothesis or watched Peter Thiel's videos on Youtube (low view counts, so I know you're not watching them!) you'll know there is a rather disturbing big picture which most people are oblivious to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMpmfaE9bII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMpmfaE9bII

I am not sure what you are saying, and I really don't want to watch that video. Can you be explicit? I want to know what you are thinking.

  No, I can't, sorry. It's not something that can be both summarized and understood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMpmfaE9bII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMpmfaE9bII Look this isn't really a temporary interest for me, I'm something of a 'Thiel-logist'. You know how there exist Kremlinlogists? Same thing as that. I watch every video and read every book he writes or reads. This is not some celebrity fetish, but to do with the rich vein of ideas. This is because I am convinced something very very important is going on and I want to understand more. I think I understand about half of it and I had a holy fuck mind blown moment a few years ago. Remember how Thiel took out Gawker nearly a decade later. This is as nothing in comparison, this is the grand-daddy of all long games.

    I am glad I am not the only watching those random Thiel conferences on Youtube. :-)

Are you referring to his thesis that globalization without significant technological advance will lead to a Malthusian catastrophe? I have considered this in wondering why he would support Trump.

> that RenTech and Thiel are supporting Trump. RenTec is not supporting Trump. Mercer is. Simons, for what it's worth, is supporting Clinton. As, I'm almost sure, does the majority of employees. Mercer is the outlier.
