Questions asked in this interview

0:00And so when Peter Thiel appeared with Piers Morgan very recently, Piers Morgan asked him, What do you make of the fact that Luigi Mangione followed you and that there are people celebrating him?
Let's now talk about Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel is sort of a figure like Jordan Peterson in one sense. If I were to come to you and say anarcho libertarian Peter Thiel or anarcho capitalist Peter Thiel, people would write in, the Thiel fanboys, and they would go, David, you're not smart enough to understand what he believes. You're misstating it. You're getting it all wrong. Peter Thiel, who really seems to see J.D. Vance as someone he can mold in his own image, turns out to have been followed by the health care shooter, Luigi Mangione. Now, whatever you think about what Mangione did, whatever you think about Peter Thiel, whatever you think about what it means to follow someone, I follow people on platforms who I don't agree with. But it appears as though Mangione really liked Peter Thiel. And so when Peter Thiel appeared with Piers Morgan very recently, Piers Morgan asked him, What do you make of the fact that Luigi Mangione followed you and that there are people celebrating him? This is maybe the worst answer to any question that I've ever seen. This is excruciating.
And to those who think this shooter is a hero because he did it, because he said this health care executive is presiding over a health care system which kills thousands of Americans by denying them cover. What would you say to them?
I don't know what to say. I think you should try to make an argument. I think there are maybe things wrong with our health care system, but you have to make an argument and you have to try to find a way to convince people and change it by that. And this is not going to work. But I don't know. It's yeah. You know, I mean all sorts of things one could say about it, but I don't think, and again, I think the motives feel... I don't want to go into all the particulars here, but I don't think there's anything heroic about them.
There you go. So one minute and 26 seconds to say, I don't think what Mangione did is heroic. Then I'm kind of like, I was in a rabbit hole over the weekend looking at weird Peter Thiel videos. There's another moment during this very same interview with Piers Morgan where Piers just asks him, do you believe in God? Because Peter Thiel has had this whole thing where he's like, I'm a Christian. And so Piers asks a logical question of someone who says I'm a Christian, which is, do you believe in God? We did not get a very good answer.
