Re: What?
Thiel is pretty typical of the long tradition of billionaire 'thinkers', tbh; they usually produce drivel which only emphasizes how divorced from reality the super-rich are. If anyone actually took them up on their ideas, the result would be disastrous.
In his various essays, Thiel has also claimed that women being given the vote is caused of the decline of the West, and has postulated that a return to wealth requirements for the franchise would be a great thing. He has alternately claimed technology stopped advancing in the 1960s (neatly invalidating his own career, along with everyone else involved in the internet) and that air conditioning is one of the greatest inventions produced by mankind, on the same level as farming and the industrial revolution.
These are the ravings of an idiot. He's effectively a male Betsy Devos.
