Ross Douthat of Interesting TimesNYT interviews Peter Thiel.

[Swede]

When he asked Thiel if humanity should survive, Thiel did a very long pause. This guy is nuts and dangerous.

1. I saw a quick clip of this

The other day. I kinda recognized Ross
But never heard his or Theil voice before.
Ross did out think him pretty well, by
his question.
I loathe saying this - Thanks Ross .

2. I scanned a printed interview.

Thiel and Musk are nazi and apartheid loving immigrants from South Africa, both soaked in sociopathy.

3. He says, from 1750-1970 things kept moving faster.

Then things slowed. He makes an exception for digital stuff.

WTF? And how do you justify making an exception for digital??? He actually says there's a sense of stagnation.

And comparing 220 years to 50 years?

My sense is that changes speeded up after around 1990.

I'm not sure he's even being truthful.

Wow. An example of stagnation is parents are no longer expecting their kids to be "better off" than them. Globalization anyone? Does Race to the bottom ring a bell?
