  • The main problem with modern civilization is that it’s no longer possible to rob rich people. If Peter Thiel’s money actually physically existed, in like a vault somewhere, SOMEBODY would have burgled the vault by now, purely because of the insanely favorable risk vs reward ratio - like a lottery where the cost of buying tickets of every possible combination costs less than the jackpot, once the reward is high enough, there will always be SOMEONE who will make the necessary investment to negate the risk. And “robbing the rich” would always have enough popular support that there would be little effort to find the thief as long as the oligarch was unpopular enough. But now Thiel’s money no longer physically exists, and it’s basically impossible to forcibly take it from him without basically having to destroy the entire global banking system first in order to get at it.
