This is an interesting point, because late-stage capitalism of the sort idealised by Thiel and other extreme “free” market types is very interested in bringing out and exploiting those bugs and normalising the idea not only that humanity is “red in tooth and claw” but that it’s a good thing in the context of the market and should therefore be unfettered by the state (as mentioned elsewhere, Ayn Rand extended this viewpoint to an actual murderer).
