ten years ago thiel said higher education was a dangerous bubble, and he was attacked for it by every lapdog twitter personality in tech. today acknowledging the damage student debt has done to young people is table stakes for every serious conversation about college.

Is this purposeful misdirection? These are not contradictory positions. You can believe that student debt is damaging and also believe that college is not a bubble, which I’ll round out to “still a generally good investment.”

Important to give recognition and acknowledgement to those who get something so important right early. Especially if unpopular, and especially if the truth has well connected and wealthy opponents.

I dont think putting humans on pedestals is good for anyone (including the individual & regardless if they are right or not) bc it deifies them & makes it harder to see their actions through objective lens. Sure acknowledge, but critique too. Only human.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2020/05/16/inside-story-cia-backed-palantir-embedded-nhs-socialite-running/ …
