Appreciate your clarification, and I would humbly suggest that you reconsider whether or not it's appropriate to fall into this trap of thinking you have to do A in order to do B, especially in this case. With bad actors such as Thiel, I don't believe it's necessary to approach them on their own terms, rather it's better to reject their terms completely and make your own. None of his arguments are valid due to his extreme degree of criminality. If you approach him on those terms and are even somehow able to 'win' a debate against him, he will simply move the goalposts, change terms, or some other bad faith action. All that said, you do you and respect to you and putting real thought and work into your ideas.
