    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.

          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.
