Thiel: "If you're evil maybe you're kind of good"

How connected and involved this single guy is in various government and surveillance machinery: https://latentstate.net/the-glass-dragnet/

If you want a headline that you don't need to add spice to in order to be clickbait: Ask Peter Thiel a question.

Also, this:

“If you’re evil, you’re at least competent.

runs counter to the commonly accepted 'the banality of evil', based on the striking... nothing striking... of people who have committed evil acts.

I think Peter Thiel has a fear, bordering on obsession, of being seen as anything other than competent.
