Genuine question: why?
- RichardHeart 10y agoI wouldn't mind groundbreaking executive strategy differences for experiments sake in a small state. You can't get the benefit of having 50 different states competing with each other, if they're all too scared to actually revolutionize anything. If California is the only place where people have the balls to try, I'll take it. If you're curious about the individual reasons I think Thiel is awesome, he frees kids from college through his fellowship program, crushes bastards like gawker, supports longevity and innovation in other moonshot industries. Doesn't hurt that he has a book out trying to get people to create the future definitively by investing their time and money into businesses that are doing things no one else is. The only downsides I see are, maybe Palantir sucks, and maybe his choice for president will turn out to suck. He's the coolest gay christian republican billionaire thinker I know of.
