We could say, you know what, if we're going to make this a nation that rewards innovation and that promotes innovation...

We need to be steering people in that direction.

And we need to be conscious about the fact that not every degree is equal.

Not every pursuit is equal when it comes to accomplishing those aims.

I mean, part of it is it would be great if we had two orders of magnitude more Peter Thiels.

People have tried to weaponize it against him.

Maybe this is just totally the wrong way to look at it.

This is a very low conviction approach at it, but it's the first thing that pops into my mind.

When you do something like a Thiel fellowship, you create a lot of surface area for people to come after you.

You have all these people who are now affiliated with you, tied to you, trading on your name.

And that's true whether it goes well or goes poorly.

And there's an asymmetry of value in that probably if it goes poorly, it is going to blow back a lot more than the benefit of it going well.

I'll give you a hypothetical.

What if SBF was a Teal Fellow?

Do we even need to talk about what the media coverage would look like?

The idea speaks for itself.

Imagine if, not even at that level where it's going to federal court.

By the way, I've been to federal court to a jury verdict twice in my short career already.

I won both times at the end, but it's not that being in court is the end of a career, but it could be.

People would be saying, how did Peter Thiel's ideals influence the criminal mind of Sam?
