“I talk to young founders these days and for them, there’s no other world than the Trump world. I ask them what inspired them to go into tech and they say they read Marc Andreessen’s manifesto, they read Peter Thiel’s books, and I think, “Oh, your brain’s cooked.” They come in pre-pickled. But everyone else who could have told an alternate narrative has been hounded out of the industry.”

The next great depression is going to be lit.
Imagine reading Peter Thiel’s books as anything besides a sociological analysis of the postmodern, capitalist West (I haven’t, btw, I’m just assuming it’s about ideology and not a cook book). Goddamn. I bet even Ayn Rand makes more sense…
I don’t know why, but it feels like the tipping point was back when Thiel destroyed Gawker using Hogan.
After that he was less exposed as the psycho he is, anyone else too.
