Cool.

Again though: him being an actor doesnt make him right and it doesnt make him wrong. An arguments merits are in the argument.

If he was an expert on the topic it would be reasonabke to give his arguments more weight because of that - he is not though.

To be clear: his arguments shiuld be judged on their own merits, not weighted one way or the other because of his profession.

for those who may not know. he was one of peter theils dialogue members. he claims it was just a dinner thing. im not convinced considering his whole shtick has been pushing digital ID for the “sake of the children” as well as regulating AI, primarily in a way that would make it impossible for open source software to continue to remain open without identification. and to make government contract companies the only ones who can play in that sphere.

hes an actor, which is a professional liar, so, take that information as you may.
