Peter Thiel is brilliantly observant and often makes correct observations, it's the conclusions he draws afterwards that I find to be specious.

Making observations is much easier than coming up with solutions. Marx's analysis of capitalism was right on too.

... as was Ayn Rand's analysis of authoritarian socialism and communism.

Pointing out flaws, contradictions, and systematic shortcomings is so easy that I've lost a great deal of respect for it. Solutions are hard, and "magic happens here" is not a solution.
