Peter is a slice of bread with honey on one side and some sort of putrid matter on the other.
Milo does not have the honey-tinged side.
- anigbrowl 10y agoI think he's a bit more complex than that and we should avoid overly simplistic metaphors. I am not a fan of Thiel but I have listened to him explain his worldview at length in person and while I dispute many of his assumptions I feel he holds them in good faith and is persuadable. Milo, on the other hand, acts as if he aspires to be the Ernst Roehm of the internet age and I have little tolerance for him.
- Florin_Andrei 10y agoWhen things go from bad to worse, the time for complexity is gone.
- anigbrowl 10y agoAgreed. I just didn't form the impression that he was actively malicious so much as callously indifferent.
- Florin_Andrei 10y ago> callously indifferent I actually agree on that one. But he has tremendous amounts of money and power. In the current small, interdependent world, callous indifference can do a heck of a lot of damage.
