Of course the opiate for the masses is not for theirs. They know at this point the Internet is technically an infohazard. They made it that way on purpose.

in reply to Chris Remington • • •Of course it's fine to point out hypocrisy, but more importantly, these billionaires (all billionaires) are really fucked up people. Their brains are not OK. They have horrible values. They are happy that people starve and die every day, because that makes them richer. Don't think that copying them will get you anywhere good.
(Of course you still might want to shield your kid from shitty products. But don't do it because Thiel does.)
