So Thiel is paying the top % of a generation to get brainwashed with his agenda?

  I think the point is not to get brainwashed to any specific agenda but your own…and not to come out of college with a $100k debt for what many people is a degree that often has very little to do with the career they end up pursuing.

  Nailed it > Thiel explained in a 2009 essay that he had come to "no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible", due in large part to welfare beneficiaries and women in general being "notoriously tough for libertarians" constituencies, and that he had focused efforts on new technologies (namely cyberspace, space colonization and seasteading) that could create "a new space for freedom" beyond current politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel
