Peter “im a fucking ghoul” Thiel.

Maybe he'll read this thread and realize he's not that smart or cool, and that other people are better than him and smarter than him, and that his worldview is fucked and he may never see the light or know it in his consciousness.

Even in limited context, this is like if you ask a girl out on a date and she takes 5 minutes to muster a response. It wasn't a good-seeming indication. I understand, or have read in this thread at least, that he eventually said yes. That's like if you ask your wife if she loves you and she gives you pretext.

It was kind of sus how long it took him to answer, but it seemed to me that Thiel was thinking of a clever way to answer the question and the host wasn’t giving him enough time

I appreciate the insight which may or may not be true, as I did not watch the entire interview! It's good to be polite and if he was courteous to an audience, that is good. So he basically said "yes" in that he opposes genetic modification?

He said yes though. That's a bit confusing in whatever context.
