> With a skepticism towards consensus, Thiel says: “We always think that democracy is a good thing, and in a Democracy, the majority is more right than wrong. 51% is more right than 49%. 70% is even more right. But if you get to 99.9%, maybe that’s totally right — or maybe you’re in North Korea.”

This is inane and pretentious.

I’ve yet to see anything from this so-called intellectual that isn’t superficial theorising wrapped in a cloth of obscure cant, or millenarian nonsense.
