He's only gen X? Wow -- he looks terrible.

People his age ought to think more about their increasing irrelevance and leave the cultural commentary to the kids. 

I’m glad you got it! 

That entire “PayPal Mafia” is drunk on government subsidies. Gen X is finally satisfied Dad trusts them with the keys to self-destruction. 

 The Guardian flatters him. Thiel is just aother false prophet accultist.

How old is he anyway? No one his age should wag so much about the culture. Comes off as kitsch.

The lectures traces the same pulse beneath civilization’s skin, those underground wires connecting our fear and our desire, our longing to tear the house apart and still have fun while it burns.

You got it, Car. The biggest civilizational threat imo is the erosion of trust, the fomenting of fear in society.
