He got a mention in Jon Ronson’s ‘Things Fell Apart’

>This is the story of the very first person to be publicly shamed because of something they did online. It’s 1988, the internet exists only in its most nascent form, and a software designer, Brad Templeton, uploads onto a message board a joke in poor taste. How the architects of the emerging internet respond to the joke will create a set of rules that the rest of us have lived under ever since…
The usual misleading misrepresentation of Jordan Peterson there.
Wish the Americans would stick to fucking up their own country.
We can fuck our own up just fine by ourselves, thanks.
I have to say, this Peter Thiel and his outfit are truly a clear threat to society and freedom. Him and the likes of the Koch group want to reengineer the world into some sort of neo feudalist dystopia it seems.
I’m really not sure why Peteron is seen with such negativity. I have seen a couple of interviews and lectures of his out of curiosity after coming across that hilarious take down failure of an interview on bbc or channel 4 or something, but I haven’t heard anything egregious enough to warrant his blacklisting..
Although if he associates with Thiel I guess it’s no big loss either.
