Yes, Thiel said, perking up. "There are all these ways where trying to live unnaturally long lives go haywire" in Tolkien's works. But you also have the elves. "And then there are are sort of all these questionable and, you know: How ar the elves different from the humans in Tolkien? And they're basically — I think the main difference is just, they're humans that don't die."

Don't travel here friends, there will be other conferences.

And if you must, bring a burner with only key numbers you need. Email yourself files you need, and have a domestic friend to help you borrow a laptop to download and access your needed files.
