So, all you have to say about Peter Thiel is that his ideas are screwed up without reason why and that his credential/track record didn't match up what you think is innovative?
If you're going to criticize Thiel, show us reasons why his ideas are wrong.
If he wants to show his ideas are right, it is on him to prove it with evidence. Anyone with a loud microphone can talk endlessly. It is easy to cherry pick examples to support your idea.
(It's not what I think is innovative. Who cares what I think? I'm just some commenter on Hacker News with a green account. Thiel himself criticized the iPhone and by extension similar Silicon Valley products as not being the type of "innovation" he thinks America is capable of. I'm suggesting he's hardly in a position to make that criticism given that he himself benefits from this meaningless stuff SV churns out.)
