all-in

the man, the myth, the legend Peter Thiel, on the election:

“my one contrarian view is that the election is not going to be close; both are lose lose situations so there will be buyers remorse and that’s pretty unmotivating

if it is close, Kamala will win because they will cheat”

oh shit

Thiel on the future and if he’s optimistic: 

“extreme optimism and extreme pessimism are both bad and excuses for laziness. pessimism, nothing you can do. optimism, future will take care of itself. i believe in human agency and its up to us, and that’s an completely different axel”

I don't agree with him on a lot of stuff, but on that one, yes.  Hope and doubt can be equally poisonous.  Owning your human agency is the only way forward, individually and collectively.  Humans are problem solvers, we'll solve the problems or we'll die trying.
