During the recent Libertopia festival in Hollywood, California, Thiel sat down with Reason.tv's Tim Cavanaugh to talk about the new film The Social Network, technology, exit rights, and the higher education bubble.
Approximately 9 minutes. Interview by Tim Cavanaugh. Camera by Adam Jensen, Zach Weissmueller.

@GnomesAmok - Definitely not as many manipulators with as much power as we already have today. Just as the last few elections would indicate.
-
That is a complete fantasy, since there are always manipulators and without regulation all you have are people doing the manipulating never get held accountable
-
@GnomesAmok - There are no "rulers" in a truly libertarian society. Wealth amassed by anyone can only be done so through consumer satisfaction.
-
@GnomesAmok - No worries, you are fine just where you are at.

Don't like his politics, but he is cute!

Oh, okay, so democracy should be non-existent right? Thats real libertarianism, right? No elected officials. Just rich rulers.
