I'm willing to overlook that.

Thiel understands that because the world political system is far from equilibrium, in the long run it will tend towards one of two possible futures: extreme centralization or extreme decentralization. If you can assume the former is nwo-type scenario, then it's clear that he's hoping to push society towards the latter--paypal, seasteading, etc all create the infrstrucure for small-scale independence. I agree with him.
