I assumed that was all it was, to begin with, but reading about his life, and how his persona/political/religious views seem to be completely malleable, changing entirely depending on context (e.g. going from atheist in college to extreme conservative Catholic after working for Thiel), there seems to be more to it. It’s like he has no sense of self, no actual beliefs, and he’s eager to sell out who he is, and become whatever person is most likely to fit in for a given context. It’s like he has this extreme authoritarian need to conform that also guides him.
