Just insane ramblings from a man that would be safely ignored if he didn't have billions of dollars and decades of king making giving him unimaginable leverage into our nation and world.

I mean a lot of old people are like this. They slowly lose their minds are start believing in all sorts of crazy shit. My grandmother kept telling us how people were plotting to break into her home and steal her precious china. (It was worthless shit).
The issue is that this guy is super rich and people want to listen to his crazy old person nonsense.

Thiel’s so high on his own supply that his brain is failing him. Any of the more recent videos of his public speaking show a many who is less and less cognizant of the world around him and more up his own asshole than any human has a right to be.
The guy was always a libertarian-flavored fascist, going back to his early Paypal days. But now that he’s fully enmeshed in the national security state with his Palantir project, he’s getting the weapon’s grade Reagan Era anti-communism directly from the firehose. That, plus the drugs and the orgies and the crazy sleepless jet-setting schedule all topped off with his flirtations in digital immortality. Dude’s brain is cooked like hamburger.
