Thiel: Uh ——
Douthat: You’re hesitating.
Thiel: Well, I don’t know. I would — I would ——
Douthat: This is a long hesitation!
Thiel: There’s so many questions implicit in this.
Douthat: Should the human race survive?
Thiel: Yes.

I love how the NYT is just a platform for far right propaganda now. I’m not reading this cause I know NYT will not ask truly critical questions or treat thiel like the existential threat that he is. In many ways, uncritical journalism is what gave us trumpism.

I listened to this podcast. Thiel is absolutely insane. It’s scary that these billionaires have so much money and power yet totally lose their grip on reality.
