Here’s a precious bit. Thiel obviously feels insecure about his bad education because he starts doing that THING which all insecure #tech types do with disciplines they don’t understand: they develop a serious case of “sour grapes” like in the Æsop fable. Having gone into the fakey vocational-training field of #ComputerScience, Thiel starts babbling about real sciences as if they were fake:

Um but uh it it basically the only STEM field that was a really going to be a really successful field for people to go into was computer science which was kind of this marginal almost fake field—

Oh dearie me! #PeterThiel is trying to put the back-asswards and dysfunctional nature of “computer science” and “software engineering” into the past tense, like everything fine now in computing…even as everything is flying to pieces.
