Wow I thought that was just a silicon valley joke haha

It was. Just not Silicon Valley the show.

I had the same reaction when I saw the blood-boy thing going on last season. Then I found out where the idea came from...

Oh God, is that a thing that actually happens in the real SV too? I thought the show made that up.

Look up Peter Thiel.

That guy weirds me out. Says things like

>Most of our political leaders are not engineers or scientists and do not listen to engineers or scientists. Today a letter from Einstein would get lost in the White House mail room

but then supports a candidate that denies climate change and replaces scientists in government positions with company stooges. Never understood Thiel.
