Imagine how many schools would be open, reopened or added onto? Imagine the billionaires lining up to sponsor schools…celebrities….Imagine the freedom the students in the worst schools would suddenly have?! The wealthiest 10 or 20 people in the USA could bring this about if they pooled their funds and created a non profit that offered to gift the funds for any school that is opened, reopened or added onto in a state that offered full ESA’s with a scale perhaps for more funds the bigger the per student allotment. I agree with Steve Hardy on the educational revolution that would be started with ESA’s or some other transfer of funds from the state and federal government to the citizens of the education money spent.

I ordered the book which is, I think, why Ryan does a podcast in the first place so it worked. With his unique perspective and exclusive access to all the key players, Ryan Holiday transforms these events into both a dissection of that controversial word and methodology - conspiracy - and an eye-opening cautionary tale on the use, abuse and consequences of power and secrecy in the modern age.This was a sensational episode. It had been one of the most covered and surreal legal cases in history and no one had suspected a thing.

These two seemingly unrelated events were in fact the bookends of a nearly decade-long plot masterminded by Thiel, for both obvious and non-obvious reasons.

In 2016, Gawker was forced to declare bankruptcy after a $140 million dollar judgment in a Florida court over an illegally recorded sex tape of Hulk Hogan with his best friend's wife. This story is the exception.In 2007, a short blog post on Valleywag, the Silicon Valley vertical of Gawker Media, outed the enigmatic Facebook and PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel as gay. And of the few that do exist, fewer are ever discovered, let alone explained. Print Conspiracy - Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of IntrigueĬonspiracy theories are legion.
