I agree on the first part - I could not care any less about those insane superrich. But they use their money to influence people - this part is dangerous and must be stopped.

You mostly hear about their views from contrarian articles warning of the dangers of their views.

What does this even mean? Are you trying to imply that the only problem with Thiel’s apocalyptic beliefs is that people are writing articles about them?

Highlighting the lunacy coming from Thiel, Andreesen, Yarvin, Vance, Musk, etc is not being "contrarian."

a) that is partly bubble. There are others, in other political and social circles, that do hear from him directly.
b) regardless of who hears about Thiel's philosophy, it still has impact. He funds political candidates, companies, think tanks etc and directly affect the world.
