Yes, I added the parenthesis after posting because I was concerned that someone might do exactly what you did - focus on the most controversial possible interpretation of my statement rather than address it at face value. I'll follow your lead and say that this will be my last response too, because your post has shown to me that we're talking past each other entirely. > there seem to be alot of people backing up this opinion based upon nothing other than politics The point I've been making this whole time is that you simply cannot separate politics from "other" in the way you wish to. Politics is intertwined in every decision we make and every opinion we hold. The fact that you choose (without evidence) to label those you disagree with as "ultra-liberals" underlines this. You paint yourself as politically neutral yet you are clearly evaluating others in political terms. We can't have "politically neutral" political discourse, it makes no sense. There is no "non-political Peter Thiel".
