I dunno. Based on behavior, beliefs, actions, speeches and (I’m shallow, I know) on appearance, if I was a betting woman, all my chips would be on Thiel being the anti-Christ.

It’s so wise to listen to the small voice within and know when you need to step back and find some peace. I wish all the best for you
