    That’s the thing. I don’t recall Thiel getting much press until I started really honing in on him. I’m sure he probably did, but rather it’s like the “new thing effect,” where one doesn’t notice a particular thing until one acquires that thing, then suddenly notices lots of those things, everywhere. But he does seem extraordinarily influential, whether it’s just me beginning to notice or he actually is.
