PG is comfortably worth a billion. He obviously isn't that concerned with how much material comfort that could buy. But based on his essays and twitter, is more concerned with world issues, as many of us on HN are. Out of everything PG has done, I think it's clear that YC and, more underrated, HN have by far had the most impact on the world: Airbnb, Reddit, Stripe, Instacart, DoorDash... Any one of these alone has made huge ripples in millions of lives. How about how HN is the cultural zeitgeist of many startup and tech employees in the tech capital of the world? How many existing and upcoming founders have been impacted by the discussions here? How many employees of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft have been influenced in one way or another? YC and HN are having a major impact on the world. I think it's clear that there's still a lot to do to ensure it's steered in the greatest possible scale and positive direction. Who knows what kind of societal benefits could be unlocked and disasters averted? And this is a position that PG has the unique clout, knowledge, and funds to tackle. Peter Thiel is clearly using his clout, knowledge, and funds, to the best of his ability, to form the world in what he perceives to be the most positive direction. Why not PG?
