Oh god not Frank Thelen
Is he known outside of Germany?
I hope, he isn’t…
What did he do? The English Wikipedia entry has nothing on why he’s a douche (as I’m understanding from the comments here).
In Germany, he is known as some kind of “startup investor”…
- He is sometimes invited in talkshows, but he is usually not qualified for the topics he is talking about. He got (and I hate this word in this context) destroyed by Harald Lesch (a very popular scientist in Germany) in a talkshow and on a different day by some economy expert and you saw that he did not know what he was talking about. When that woman presented a fact, he said that he had a different opinion about it…
- He wanted to establish a “temporary dictatorship” in Germany
- Pretty much all of the startups he invested in, are dead now
- He advertises the company he invested in on social media and used fake numbers and crazy prognoses for the future to “scam” his viewership out of money
- He created some kind of fonds (“10XDNA”) and advertised it as “safe” and “not speculative”. That thing went down almost -60% in ~ 1 year
- There was an interview with German journalists (“STRG F”) that had a very weird ending. Thelen said something during an interview that was problematic for himself about some contract and wanted the journalists to not show it. Later, he gave a 2nd interview and the whole thing was like “if the contract existed and if …, then maybe, …”. It looked like he had something to hide.
He is pretty much just a “Hey, I’m a successful, rich, innovative investor” brand and gets attention and money because of that.
Whatever he is doing, just do the opposite…
Better yet, if everyone is wearing these, then everyone can see and hear everyone else as the people they approve of. You could hold a conversation with someone thinking they’re a Democrat while they think you’re a Republican, and both would walk away glad to have found a like-minded person.
What?
I don’t understand how what you’re saying relates to the Apple goggles, it sounds like you might as well have said that if everyone wears wireless earbuds, everyone can start hearing eachothers thoughts.
Did Apple announce some sort of Snapchat filter and live translate function that you’re making fun of, or is the comment just absurd?
I’m just making a joke about what some Black Mirror version of this might do in some dystopian future.
Siri, mark all of the plebs
Siri, engage death mode
But hear me out … what if you could fade out all the opinions you don’t like. Ultimate echo chamber building in reality.
Some politicians will rly like this ⊂(◉‿◉)つ Literally all politicians would love that.
Black Mirror…
Damn. Now I remember. You are right.
