- peterclary 10y agoThank you for that article. I shall read it in depth later, but a cursory glance suggests that Mr Thiel believes, as many do, that freedom means not being compelled to help his fellow humans, or even his own immediate society, by taxation or any other means. The article also has a very alarming quote: "The fate of our world may depend on the effort of a single person who builds or propagates the machinery of freedom that makes the world safe for capitalism." What happened to making the world safe for people?
