But didn't Peter Thiel loses the majority of his personal fortune (a loss of
about FOUR AND A HALF BILLION DOLLARS!!!) by betting against the
recovery/market?  I would say his prophetic powers failed him to say the
least.  Imagine if besides somewhat helping out the Singularity Institute,
he had poured even a *fraction* of that lost money (before it was
lost!) into Aubrey de Grey's proposed anti-aging SENS program!

What a lost opportunity...  I feel sick.
