The guy is giving speeches on networking to the first group of Thiel Fellows and he blogs on Forbes. Nothing he's saying seems irrational or ridiculous. Being a so-called "beast" in your field doesn't mean you are mentally ill.

- Confusion 15y agoThis is one of medicine's major problems: such a study is considered to be required, yet no one with enough funds (read: big pharma) will execute a study of the enormous size required to control for all these variables (because there is nothing to be gained for them). For all we know, every mental illness is cured in 80% of the cases by changing to -- and adhering to -- a healthy lifestyle. As the situation is, there will never be a study that proves it.
