Negligence can be a crime under the right conditions.

  1. If negligence in this case means treason, there are several companies you can investigate then - it makes less sense to single out Google when Cisco has likely suffered more. Huawei was literally founded on stealing foreign technology and is allegedly built by Cisco engineers. 2. Rather than investigating if Google negligence is treason, would Thiel agree to charge Zuckerberg with treason due to the Cambridge Analytica scandal? There's hard proof right there, why not get the quick win with Facebook?

    Thiel is definitely hypocritical. That alone does not make him wrong. (He may be right or wrong, I don't know).

      Being hypocritical actually often means you are wrong... or more so that the listener is wrong in entertaining the hypocritical thoughts. That's because hypocrisy is often a form of manipulation. A method of distraction, pointing out one issue elsewhere so that the listeners look away. For the listeners, it means they might lose sight of the true opportunities, so it could be an opportunity cost loss. A good hypocritical manipulation would need to distract the listeners in a plausible way, so maybe there is a point..., but we'd be wrong to let ourselves be distracted by it. (Not saying this is the case here, just that maybe it is, I don't know)

      A broken cpu might produce a correct answer but you shouldn't trust it. Hypocrites are not trustworthy even when they are right.
