    Yes. Thiel was getting "young blood" infusions from this guy. No reason to suspect hasn't continued with a new donor. Literal vampire shit.

    Was Gavin Belson based on him?

    EDIT: Anyone who didn’t watch Silicon Valley, there is an episode where the character gets blood infusions from a younger, very athletically fit man.

    As I recall, they blended a few of the silly valley moguls into that character. Zuckerberg and Jobs also made some appearances in that character.

    Yes, exactly like that, with just a touch of Nazi vampirism thrown in. Thiel thinks he can harness the virility of healthy young men by routinely getting blood transfusions from them. Seriously.

    It’s actually even more crazy, he’s deeply and upsettingly afraid of dying, I would without irony compare him to the villains of Fullmetal Alchemist

    what really set him off is that his previous gf, taryn southern was diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age, so it reminded him of his mortality where had a previous health scare. he went full in on the pseudosceince.
