Ok so AFAICT Peter Thiel is like if Hari Seldon saw the coming Dark Age, but instead of being like “let’s create a Foundation”, he was like “aww yiss, Dark Age. Let’s back The Mule, make a bunch of money on the crash, and live in a bunker on Terminus.”

Do you see Thiel as being the "plenty who saw it coming" or as the "estimating dark age length and taking the challenge of radically shortening it" or something else?

Plenty who saw it coming. In the foundation series for eg there’s a populist demagogue like trump, and various other profiteering types who show up in the final stages on Cleon I in Prelude to Foundation/Forward the Foundation
