Co-Founder of PayPal Peter Thiel: Society Is Hostile To Science and Technology
dcblogs writes Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal, billionaire investor and author, says "we live in a financial, capitalistic age, we do not live in a scientific or technological age. We live in a period where people generally dislike science and technology. Our culture dislikes it, our government dislikes it. The easiest way to see "how hostile our society is to technology" is to look at Hollywood. Movies "all show technology that doesn't work, that ... kills people, that it is bad for the world," said Thiel. He argues that corporations and the U.S. government are failing at complex planning.

Should have read:
"The underlying message in Gravity is that "you never want to go into outer space with Sandra Bullock,"
Lets be serious Sandra managed to destroy:
1- A space telescope
2- A space shuttle
3- The ISS
4- A Russian Soyuz capsule
5- The Chinese Space Station
6- George Clooney
basically every space asset was destroyed due to something she did. Sandra had what my friends and I refer to as "The reverse midas touch", where everything she touches seems to turn to s**t. She was like a train wreck in slow motion.
