There may be an interesting discussion here somewhere, but as constructed your comment is less likely to produce such. Do you have specifics regarding Thiel’s position and how it compares with that of the article? As is, it appears you’re looking to provoke a reaction rather than promote a productive discussion.

- ZeroGravitas 9y agoMy take is that he's basically saying capitalism doesn't work (edit: at least there's big problems within it) and if you want to get rich you should know how to play the system because just providing large amounts of social value isn't sufficient. I'm not sure that's his intended message though, since he often presents himself as a libertarian with the implicit message that capitalism and getting rich is a sign of providing social value.
