Only because he is not going with the fashion of - "I am another CEO who also hate Trump on Twitter and that makes me intelligent and smart and liberal", the tech industry now banned him.
I think he is one of the smartest people on earth right now.

I really like the way he thinks about our world. He kind of has a common sense understanding of how things work.

SO many brilliant insights here from Peter. Well worth watching, even 20-30 minutes deep.

Peter Thiel's realist approach to the themes is really enlightening. His "Straussian Moment" was a sort of eye-opener for me.

Lol at some people in this comment section claiming Peter is anything less than an amazing business man. The man got into STANFORD and co founded PAYPAL, those aren't small achievements; a lot of you who claim he's a pseudo-intellectual are emotionally driven by some of his political points of view...get over it. People aren't, "stupid," because they have different opinions. I'd like to hear how any of you haters have impacted industry or how recently you were asked to give a lecture at a university.

Difficult to underestimate the importance of having a businessman as brilliant as Peter Thiel giving the introductory speech at the RNC. He will help pierce the hysterical Anti-Trump intellectual bubble of Silicon Valley.

- the American dream: a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are capable, regardless of the circumstances of birth or position.
- 30:50 - 33:20 summary of Thiel's early life
- lots of talented people too quickly copy what everybody else is doing and too quickly get caught up in super competitive things (start a business like everybody else is starting).
- we basically outlawed everything having to do with the world of stuff, and the only thing you are allowed to do is in the world of bits.

It would be so interesting to see Peter Thiel and Ben Shapiro campaigning against each other on big stage

Between Peter Thiel and Nassim Taleb I learned how to live. Between the two of them I was given a worldview within which I could be idealistic and functional. It also happens that I've been incredibly successful on the stock market since learning their principles of investing.
