The author's primary lament seems to be he purposely didn't invest in a rapidly growing company because of:

1. Some personal dislike of the principals or their product or petty political disagreement

2. Company grows 500% (as predicted)

3. Everyone else makes money except the author who deliberately didn't invest ( see #1 above)

4. It's not fair!

5. Write angry sour grapes substack blaming the current administration for all your problems.

> petty political disagreement

Politics isn't a sports game. These aren't teams, and you aren't rooting on a championship game.

People die. Lots and lots of people. This isn't some abstract things that just exists in your mind to get mad about, it's real life.

"petty political disagreement" literally donated massive amounts of money to donald trump and supporting a genocide. the post discusses Thiel and Trumps misconduct and the ethical reasons the author is choosing not to invest, but sweet strawman.
