Big Tech's head is at "being evil is just being competent", "democracy is incompatible with freedom" (for me to do what I want). It is also at "humans are obsolete" point. And while Zuckenberg specifically does not have cool quotes, he was at the "who cares about genocide" and "let show weight loss ads to teenagers who we determined have low self-esteem" points in the past.

Notes: actual quote is "If you're evil, you're at least competent. And if you're evil, you're not bad. And therefore, maybe you're actually kind of good because you're at least getting something done"

Impressive how every single statement is absolutely wrong.

You mean wrong because you don't believe this is how they are acting (likely because you are financially secure enough not to notice - part of the problem) or what they believe is dangerous and malevolent or because it's also nonsensical, despite being dangerous and worthy of reproach?

		No, more like: > If you're evil, you're at least competent. Incompetent evil exists. This statement is wrong, B does not follow A. > And if you're evil, you're not bad. They aren't mutually exclusive, so this is incorrect. > And therefore, maybe you're actually kind of good because you're at least getting something done This presupposes that "getting something done" is a positive end in itself, which is not a given. Each phrase is wrong. It's impressive, actually.

Weird that Thiel seems to think the “Antichrist” is a bad thing, given that quote. I suppose he sees it as unwelcome competition.
