"Learning Nate Silver works for Peter Thiel is one of those things that would have shocked me in 2016 and made me wonder why I hadn't already been assuming it in 2024." He now works for the betting market polymarket (using cryptocurrencies of course).

@Soyweiser @dgerard i have disliked and distrusted this guy since at least 2016–hate to see how he’s still inflicting injury on us
@Soyweiser @dgerard
Since I went looking for links, I thought I'd include them for others wondering.
Thiel invests in Polymarket: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/polymarket-raises-70m-thiel-founders-140000178.html
Nate Silver joins Polymarket as advisor: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nate-silver-joins-polymarket-ahead-of-2024-election-as-trading-volume-tops-400m-302198424.html
@Soyweiser @dgerard This is all about taking over the US monetary system. And the dumbass Democrats in Congress are falling right in line. How much cryptocurrency did it cost Thiel to buy them, I wonder?
@Soyweiser @dgerard WOW!!! and Silver wants #Biden to drop out. No collusion there???? Thanks for providing context.
@Soyweiser @dgerard Everything is clear now!

@blakestacey I remember him talking about Stacy Abrams election for governor and saying yah maybe all the illegal shit led to her loosing but there isn't good research and so it doesn't matter. When that happened my thoughts about him changed a great deal
