"I believe we are in a world where innovation in stuff was outlawed. It was basically outlawed in the last 40 years — part of it was environmentalism, part of it was risk aversion," he says. "And all the engineering disciplines that had to do with stuff have basically been outlawed one by one."

Dear Mr. Thiel:

How about throw some money Gary Johnson's way? It's pretty clear that Ron Paul won't be winning the GOP nomination; but Governor Johnson will likely be on the ballot in all 50 states, as the Libertarian alternative to the major party hegemony.

Thx,

Stupid "bet" by Thiel. If he was truly thinking of the future, he'd be better off supporting Rand Paul not Ron. But a fool and his money...

If he loses 99% of his worth that "fool" will still be a millionaire with a ridiculous number of accomplishments. Disagreeing with you on politics doesn't seem like the best way to judge intelligence.

Money isn't the best way to judge intelligence either.
