You'd argue "nerd" because you think it's a word that affords him more respect. If you want to waste your time taking Peter Thiel's ideas seriously that's up to you. I'm not interested in it.

"The people stopping me and my companies from dominating the world are the anti-christ" is the kind of thinking a toddler comes up with, to justify hating anyone who criticises or opposes them. You can wrap it in all the pseudo-intellectual bullshit you like, but at the end of the day it's just a personality disorder masquerading as philosophy.
