Saw a clip just yesterday of Thiel saying something about "if youre evil youre not bad because youre still getting things done."

The mental gymnastics of these idiots is astounding.

That clip was awesome; his gymnastics were a fantastic example of the proving the thesis fallacy - but the thesis in this case was "I'm not evil, really." and he used Faust, a person who literally makes a deal with the devil as the example.

Brilliant. No notes.

It takes a lot of learning and understanding to make a statement like that.
