Big Tech Groupthink: The Winklevoss Twins & The Peter Thiel - Hulk Hogan Gawker Lawsuit

Podcast Clips: Julian & Soar Founder / CEO Anthony Fenu discuss groupthink and the lack of contrarian thought in Silicon Valley’s technology community. Specifically, they discuss what The Valley has done in the past to figures like Tyler & Cameron Winklevoss (otherwise known as the Winklevoss twins). The twins ended up becoming early investors in Bitcoin & Blockchain because those communities existed outside of Silicon Valley in the early days—but their treatment should not go ignored. In response to Julian’s explanation that Mark Zuckerberg was behind the Winklevoss twins’ lack of inclusion in Silicon Valley’s Big Tech Community, Anthony then brings up Venture Capital Billionaire Peter Thiel’s crusade against the publication Gawker (when he funded the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against the company) as an example of the two sides (good and bad) of billionaires using their power as a force. The two then discuss the lack of contrarian thought that exists in Silicon Valley and the Big Tech community—where contrarian thought and critical thinking are supposed to be standard bearers
