During a panel discussion about the direction of humanity, Thiel lamented the cultural, technological and economic “stagnation” that has taken place in recent years, something he considered to be “very destabilizing” in the long term.

Whatever problems we have is generally the fault of increased liberalism in our institutions. They cause the problems and then rush to fix them with more socialism.

“I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.”

Sounds stupid after the second one, right? How about the third, fourth and fifth?
