peter thiel did paypal with elon musk and became a billionaire. then he loudly backed trump. he wants to live forever by injecting the blood of the young. he thinks evil robots will kill us all if we don't figure out how to make non-evil robots. he is funding mencius moldbug, software engineer turned racist monarchist blogger, in his attempt to create a sub-internet but with landlords, or something, i honestly don't know what's up with that

now he is doing this: http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/peter-thiel-california-governor-bid-233632

quote:

Peter Thiel, the Silicon Valley billionaire and outspoken Donald Trump supporter, is considering a 2018 bid for California governor, according to three Republicans familiar with his thinking.

Thiel, who co-founded PayPal and was an early investor in Facebook, has been discussing a prospective bid with a small circle of advisers, including Rob Morrow, who has emerged as his political consigliere.

is robert morrow the six california guy who also bought one of the lots of seized bitcoins auctioned off by the government?

also i think peter thiel is a pretty hypocrtical libertarian. gawker outting him wasnt cool, but i think peter thiel hiding his sexuality from investors should qualify as criminal failure to disclose. as a rational actor participating in the market place i need all the information ic an get so i can make optimal, efficient choices that support my violent homophobia and that includes not doing business with the gays

Peter Thiel killed Gawker using Hulk Hogan as his catspaw which remains hilarious.

I mean hes still a loathsome human being and all but he rendered at least one service to humanity
