I was enjoying it, until we got to Peter Thiel, a particularly horrible person.

Loved this, your opener reminded me of a personal shift I decided recently. Because I have had family in politics, it had always floated around as an option, so for some time I was subconsciously like "let me muzzle myself on social media as if I may run" and today I've decided something like the opposite, "let me actively insure that I'm always able to say what I want by doing that now and if it cuts me out of something, then I probably never needed to be there."

Ciao Ferruccio

Ciao Simone, it feels meta to have you reply here! I think I've seen your name many times on HN, and a bunch of times on posts I shared :)

That was the intention! Maybe we'll meet IRL in a decade or so :)
