Thiel backed seasteading among other wacky ideas. His editorial saying we have a ruling class with secrets that would horrify us, and has largely done a bad job is not that out there for him.
Yep. Utopian crazy who can't grasp the ideas or value of government, commonwealth, or regulations except as "red tape" and "waste". They literally believe in anarcho-capitalist libertarianism with extra anarchy will magically be a wonderful world, perhaps for them.
When Obama roasted Trump at the Gridiron Club dinner, one of his jokes was: "Now that I've published my birth certificate, Donald can focus on the more important questions, like was the moon landing real." Thiel's op-ed reminded me of that joke.
