Last week rumors circulated about Trump's desire to put Peter Thiel on the Supreme Court.
Thiel, the Silicon Valley futurist and founder of PayPal, was a speaker at the RNC. He is the largest stakeholder in Palantir (named after the seeing stones in LOtR). Palantir makes counter cyber-terrorism software for the government and programs for businesses which analyse threats and opportunities on the internet.
Thiel is invested in space travel and Mars colonization. And he's long been a central figure in the cult of Transhumanism and the quest for digital immortality.
Not enough judicial experience and too much Sky-net supervillain for the Supreme Court, Thiel could find a place somewhere else in government. Whichever party wins the White House, Silicon Valley will continue to increase its presence as technology and government become ever more integrated.
