“I want us to do only the work that is *deeply* good but somehow confused for being evil, because that is the work of the courageous and the strong.”
This is the kind of shit someone says right before they tell you to shoot a kid.
Okay. I’ll take the bait.
I went to work for Peter in 2013 with opposite politics.
He sat me down right at the beginning.
PETER: “I don’t want the (Thiel) Foundation to do good that the market can do. That is the job of the market. Likewise, I don’t want to do the good work that is seen as good. That work can be done by people richer, weaker and more needy of approval than we are. I want us to do only the work that is *deeply* good but somehow confused for being evil, because that is the work of the courageous and the strong. We strive to be both and that is where a small foundation can make the greatest positive difference. Go look for such good and let’s do that. But remember. Good has TWO different antonyms. What is “bad work”? It could be seen as shoddy work. Or it could be seen as evil work. And we can’t do shoddy work. Why? Because evil that isn’t competent never gets to be evil. It’s just pathetic. So we have to be exceptionally competent at the good work which we do to make sure it is always confused for evil.”
I thought it totally logical. So that’s the argument. And that’s classic Peter.
This is an old idea of his. And now you know.

if you think about how small my family is, when my grandpa died that was the equivalent of one million 9/11s
The New York Times listing The Shield at #70 is the literal definition of fascism.
America was so rich in the 2000’s that we used to pay gay men to hook up with women just to sell some jeans.
