Peter Thiel at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday. Mr. Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of PayPal, is scheduled to speak at the convention on Thursday night. Some in tech worry that his speech could damage the public’s perception of Silicon Valley.

When the technology investor Peter Thiel takes the stage just before Donald J. Trump at the Republican convention this week, he will become the most prominent public face of a species so endangered it might as well be called extinct: the Silicon Valley Trump supporter.

It's way beyond time someone from the tech world showed they can think outside of the box when it comes to politics and governing. For a sector that has has been obsessed with diversity when it comes to race, gender, and sexual orientation they sure don't seem to mind 100% group think when it comes to diversity of thought or world view. In that regard, they are even more bigoted towards non-democrats than Hollywood, which is saying something.

I look forward to hearing what he has to say.
