Interesting. Any proof that he's not a fan of democracy?

  > I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible From the article linked below. Honestly, reading that over, his political ideology is a hot mess of inconsistency. I'm not exactly sure what the hell Peter Thiel stands for, other than his own pocket book. https://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/peter-thiel/education-libertarian https://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/peter-thiel/educatio...

    > his political ideology is a hot mess of inconsistency That's what happens when you treat "libertarianism" as the immutable word of God. Doesn't translate to the way human society works.

      I think the funniest thing is this idea that you can escape to space or wherever and enjoy a free society, as if all the problems didn’t come from humans in the first place.

  If you are smarter or harder working than the schlub on the street, it is hard not to think that democracy gives too much power to those useless dubs.
