Lucky we have the counterexample of a tech company run by a guy who did a humanities PhD under Jürgen Habermas...Palantir.

  In his case, it could be called opposition research

    And thus you have demonstrated the irrelevance of academic background as a meaningful data point for explaining motivations at the individual level.

      Karp had to complete his PhD under another guy BC Habermas declined Doesn't seem like they had any deep interactions tbh Otoh Thiel probably anticipated this outcome when he encouraged his lefty friend to seek Yoda lol (Never meet your heroes etc)
