No, he doesn't just do stuff. He has built many objectively successful companies and made a great deal of objective money. That is not an opinion. The rest of your post is a non-sequitur.
- cmurf 10y ago"defining success only in terms of" is an opinion based metric. I did not question facts. If you want to play a game of vaguery, you're on your own, Otherwise you're welcome to specifically point out which of my conclusions is unsupported by the available facts. There is a difference between a non-sequitur and editorialization.
- darawk 10y agoThe OP I responded to said that startup founders going to Thiel for advice/investment were 'foolish', because his inability to make good decisions in politics must mean that his startup advice is bad too. Whether or not you agree with his moral/political positions is irrelevant to understanding why that statement is so wrong.
