“We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters"

Since Warren Buffet has demonstrated that he is a senile statist and financial mooch, I need a new hero.  Charles Koch is certainly the wealthy libertarian, but both the lack of ideological drive and the falling out with Cato soured me on him too.  Then I read an article on Peter Thiel, the gay, libertarian venture capitalist.  Although the writer of the New Yorker article injects unnecessary bias and opinions into the text, Thiel sounds like someone who has the right kind of ideas and the initiative to make things happen.
