Substack Live: With Virginia Heffernan On Freak of the Week Peter Thiel
Live at 1 p.m. EST Today
I’ll be live in discussion with author, journalist, and cultural critic Virginia Heffernan to discuss our Freak of the Week: that towering figure of tech-bro autocracy and weirdness, Peter Thiel. Here‘s Heffernan’s Substack, Magic + Loss (Politics and Tech for English Majors), and her Times review of Max Chafkin’s Thiel biography.
And here’s a screenshot of Thiel talking about AI recently, and in his younger days with Paypal co-future billionaire Elon Musk.
Tune in at 1 PM EST today and make sure you’re subscribed to my newsletter, American Freakshow.
Excellent discussion! We need to focus our attention on these boys. Expose their adolescent gibberish manifestoes (Andreessen). Thank you both.
I’ll have to check it later Nina, but you’re right about Thiel, he could be the freak of the decade!!
