I think you are greatly overestimating the power of a LW comment thread to harm Thiel. Also, I consider it a strong possibility that Thiel wants people to guess at what he was referring to. Finally, you shouldn't assume his dangerous ideas are political.

The monopoly idea is in some sense political. I think there good reason to believe that other ideas are similarly political.
