This guy always strikes me as a weird nut bar. Is someone willing to tl;dr for me? I'm interested, but a bit too tired at the moment to wade through a sea of cray-cray.
He is looking after number #1 and the rest is flim-flam.

Because his sexuality got drawn into the debate by some opportunistic fools, he has secured significant sway in communities who believe its sacred-private, and sailed under the radar into law, and won. That empowered him as "he can win" which attracted Trump amongst others.

He has echoes of Bezos: whatever he wants, is justified because he wants it. This is bankable around the table of $b people who are tired of being lectured by Actors at Davos.

> "To understand Thiel’s ideas, we need to"

Wait a second, why do we need to care about Peter Thiel's ideas about religion? Wikipedia says he's an American businessman.

> "I’ve never met Peter Thiel. The contents of this essay are based on public information and my own intuition."

This is getting more head scratching by the second...

Apparently David Perell is a mind reader... He's never Met Peter Thiel, didn't ask Peter Thiel yet seems to know what Peter Thiel thinks.

This is a nothing burger of a story.. a waste of pixels.
