Oh God, is that a thing that actually happens in the real SV too? I thought the show made that up.

That guy weirds me out. Says things like

>Most of our political leaders are not engineers or scientists and do not listen to engineers or scientists. Today a letter from Einstein would get lost in the White House mail room

but then supports a candidate that denies climate change and replaces scientists in government positions with company stooges. Never understood Thiel.
