OMG, I listened to Andreessen’s appearance on the Rogan podcast at the behest of a Trump-y relative. The full 2.5 hours or whatever. You’re correct. It’s the same nonsense right down to openly complaining that the Biden administration wouldn’t let tech oligarchs bribe them.
I'm an ocean away, in Holland, but when i saw Big Tech enter the White House late last year, it was quite easy to dig up who's who. Thiel thinks himself a puppet master, Andreesen dominates every talk with a tsunami of factoids so has zero corrective feedback, Musk the braggadocious scapegoat...
Wow yeah... The most original thinkers in their little ingroup sounding board of 'in the know' pseudo-contrarians are Andreessen and Thiel. I've chose to endure listening to their talks, how they mix up rhetoric, rationality and reasonability, seemingly without much self-reflection... Flabbergasting
