Peter Thiel is almost definitely behind this mysterious Heterodox Science course
We know Thiel has a lot of business smarts; and apparently he won a math competition in junior high, or something.  But does actually <i>know</i> any basic science? Like you know -- hypothesis testing? Thermodynamics? Atomic decay? The carbon cycle? Stuff like that?<p>I&#x27;m not talking about the &quot;gist&quot; or the &quot;general idea&quot; behind these subjects.  I mean the actual, bullshit-proof, nuts-and-bolts level.  You know, <i>science</i>.<p>And since the answer (given the unscientific gobbledygook he routinely spouts) is in almost all probability &quot;no&quot; -- why would anyone in their right mind† present this man with the task of teaching a &quot;science&quot; course at a putative educational institution, accredited or otherwise?<p>† Other than the &quot;right&quot; mind to fleece a whole lot of gullible young people out of their Benjamins, and to promote Thiel&#x27;s personality cult and pseudoscientific agenda, generally.
