LEGEND👍

Thanks bro!

Great breakdown! Thanks.

Thanks

Nice! TY

I feel like I've learned a lot by following Thiel on google alerts for almost two years now. The way his massive reach extends into everyday news continually blows me away over and over; every week there are mainstream stories with direct lines to Thiel. One day 5 out of 10 major news headline stories could directly be traced to Thiel.

Chris Valiente Thanks ;)

And now you look at it and he's friends with Trump our current president and I'm now looking back at all of his interviews and I'm seeing the double speak is a constant most likely because of his political involvement.

zeppelin1qaz He used to host a 1970s game show - before they became tacky?

COME ON DOWN..... lol...What a f'n dork.

Yes you nailed i and proved yourself a contrarian, because he is certainly much more than some label of "Republican". The most recent statements I can find is that he considers himself a political atheist which leads me to believe he's only using the Republican label to achieve long term insanely difficult problems that require more time than a 4 year political cycle.

god bless!

always appreciate

Damn, I'm writing a book on future biotechnology, what I would give to be able to talk to Peter!

i know, but i still love it :)

John Hooker Couldn't be said better!!!

I agree. He didn't ask the best questions although he did a good job, he could have asked even more controversial questions and thought provoking questions.

He got seriously thrown when Thiel said eu Internet policy is more extreme than trump's wall and never recovered.

just the way he's slouching in his chair... what a contrast to Thiel...

I don't think anyone has ever heard the angle that the invisible, globalist, virtual border wall the EU is putting up to fight the internet is more limiting in freedom than Trump's wall (See through walls from Thiels acolyte Palmer Luckey of course). Exactly the reason I keep the tone tuned to Thiel.

Are you talking about invention of internet or implementation? 100 years ago saw tcp/ip implemented in 1983? Maybe pop culture is not inherently bad, it's just that we are so saturated in it and it does seem to dumb us down.

Desiree Lourens Do any of you haters have anything substantive to say about this interviewer or the conversation, or do you only have sartorial advice??

Matt Markus - Not sure about who you're referring to as the haters - but I'm speaking subjectively - and I didn't watch the episode because of the reasons stated. Free World, Free Speech. Not a hater.

+Desiree Lourens please don’t have kids

Matt Markus he condescends to Peter and attempts to correct him on ideological differences. He talks too much. Just ask the questions and listen. We want to hear from Peter the man who has a proven track record on these issues. We don’t need to hear the pompous opinions of some academic with no real world experience armchair quarterbacking.

Producción Sexta Hi there! Thanks for contacting us! Please send us an e-mail to contact[at]brainbar.com and we'll get back to you ASAP.

rolf, Steve Fuller, he is quite a guy, read his stuff

This is exactly how politicians and journalists in europe behave. As a german I can confirm its horrible how locked in they are into their ideology

"Born: July 12, 1959 (age 59 years), New York City, New York, United States Education: University of Cambridge, Columbia University, University of Pittsburgh, Regis High School"

Cambridge and Columbia are enough to bend the good into the bad.

47:57 When the camera cuts to the audience, you can see people reacting to the interviewer asking a bad political question. It looks like the interviewer is loosing the audience.

SpiritLeash Totaly agree. Most of the commentators I think misinterpreted his attitude as hostile or incompetent when in actuality it was neither. My impression was that he elicited a very good conversation on relevant topics and in the end agreed with Thiel. It hard not to agree with Thiel's reasoning.

Yes he was respectful and intelligent. His body language wasn't suited for an interview though and him giving the point regarding education as food for thought was not appropriate either. Nevertheless, he was openminded and interesting. The objections raised against him are misplaced in my opinion. He was not looking down on Thiel or Trump and wasn't asking bad questions either.

J Nada agreed

His body language showed non interest, although everyone seems to have misinterpreted him.

7Nemar got a similar vibe.

No offense but Trump is a piece of shit. So Thiel still supports shit?

Not sure other politicians are all that different.

Silicon Valley in a nutshell. The irony is that Peter already addressed the point of thought policing in the valley.

@chris namaste. what makes him a piece of shit? is it because you dont agree with him?

computer science is more like computer engineering tbh and i have a CS degree and work as a SWE. the theory they teach you is nice but like 20% of the degree. most the stuff they teach you is how to build software , compilers and such. i guess it somewhat follows the scientific progress, but it’s not like we are uncovering the truths of the universe like in physics.

Bureaucracy still has ballooned like crazy, you just wouldn't know unless you ever worked there it's bad. The thing is that historically every time something went wrong a new position or department was created to prevent same thing from happening but noone ever trims any of this stuff when it no longer makes sense so now the process has just bloated to ridiculous levels.

i really hope youre a bot

Jon Rita yeah my list changed Elon Musk Paul Graham Larry Page Who’s on your list

youtube

Yeah he was fine

Matt Markus he doesn't echo the sentiments of Trump cultists

The typical condescending attitude towards conservatism and conservative values. He also appears to equate progressivism with ‘progress’ as if conservative values somehow inhibit economic growth and development. It seems to be that his perspective on left, right dichotomy is surface level and sentimental rather than a deep dive with a bit of contrarian analysis. It’s the surface level, low resolution thumbnail attitude that comes across as annoying and irritating to me personally. There’s a lot of great ideas within the realm of the left and progressivism, but when you conflate the other side (conservatism) with straw man positions, you end up portraying the sentimental and low resolution side of your camp as well; because you don’t feel the need to really defend and rationalize your perspectives. Perhaps that’s where the self-righteousness comes from.

"Death enables change?" I don't buy it. Change enables change. Also, "to love is to let go" is really not making any sense to me at all. Maybe platitudes help you navigate this world, but don't use such a broad brush, my two cents.

Bullshit, it would be nice to have the option anyway.

That is actually a very good argument. I would add death is also an ultimate judge of wicked who evaded a just punishment for the crimes they commited.

@angrykulla Death is not necessary for evolution? Evolution could care less about any human dying. The problem with the argument is he is trying to insert evolution with dying and they really have nothing to do with one another. He uses intellectual aruments to help him make sense of dying, but it's not true. Evolution (the entire planet) has no business being tied up with this argument.

@angrykulla How so? Example please

Yea take your lazy bullshit somewhere else kid

Those weird non stop mouth movements with his lips looked unnatural, plus you couldn't see his eyes because of that silly hat; just looks alone can throw people. The slouch.

I want to know what and how Peter Thiel thinks. The interviewer at times did not seem to understand this.

This. He's not THAT bad. He got some great answers from Peter Thiel I've not heard of before, and that's good in itself.

SpiritLeash he did good.

can you elaborate more-it seems very interesting or we can talk through email as well

Gautam Choudhary Yes, I'd be more than happy to. You can check out the C'8 facebook page here: facebook.com/C8coordinate where I have a mock-up of the app's principal page and I also have links to the 14 youtube videos I've created to date to describing the C'8 app functionality, giving examples of its use, etc as well. And here is my business email: smajor@stellarconsultingllc.com. I have a document describing C'8 functionality that lists other apps currently in existence for comparison that I can share as well. At this stage, I'm looking to find software developers/coders to create a partially functioning, open source demo version of C'8 that we'll be able to share with everyone and will use to create a Kickstarter campaign to fund the balance of the software development. Any participation / help on any level will be greatly appreciated. The need is great, and C'8 is a game-changer on a number of levels yet extremely simple and pure.

With C'8 for example, victim/survivors of a hurricane can create their C'8 profile, make a C'8 post with photos and videos showing their home's entire roof completely blown off, showing wet furniture, wet appliances, etc and requesting tarps and mosquito nets for example. Once this person learns that the local building supply store has re-opened and is selling 5Mx6M heavy duty tarps for x price for example, they will be able to add that to their posted request for aid where a link will be made with that store. Then someone on the other side of the planet that woke up to news of a disaster can do a quick, filtered search, find this post requesting aid, see the C'8 trust factors and with one click can make a donation directly to the store with no middle person. And when the tarp is paid off and all involved are notified, the tarp will likely be installed the same day and be able to post photos and videos of it all as well as to say thank you with great transparency. C'8 empowers acts of selfless giving to a specific family, for a specific purpose, immediately, with zero overhead and 100% transparency leaving givers with a more tangible connection than exists with most charitable giving today.

What is the problem with the current system (like $ aid through the Red Cross, etc). I'm asking this sincerely because I don't know, not in a confrontational way.

Many aid groups in general like the Red Cross have large overhead expenses, often exceeding 50% of donated funds with executives making over $500k salaries which discourages many would-be donors and when they cannot find a better alternative, often those well-intended aid gifts are left on the table unsent. Also with the large aid groups donated funds don't go directly to the need, but to the bank accounts generally making them better prepared for a future disaster, and so donations often have no direct impact on the specific disaster someone is desiring to aid. We never know where, when or on what our donations were spent. Also with many organizations, especially in the relative chaos of disasters, abuse of donated funds is the norm, not the exception. That's on the donations side. On the volunteer coordination side of the app, currently groups like the Red Cross and other volunteer and aid groups each have their own software app and/or are using ones like Palantir, Crisis Cleanup, etc which are only available to a small handful of affiliated groups, not for use by the rest of the world that could be helping and responding on one level or another, including the victims themselves having a tool both to report their own needs and that of others as well as to coordinate their efforts with the disaster response community as do volunteer groups. The Four C's of the disaster volunteerism and aid coordination world are Coordination, Communication, Collaboration & Cooperation and most existing apps are only in the hands of certain aid groups, ridiculously handicapping the four C's before even getting started by being exclusive. C'8 has no such restrictions and is meant to be a game-changing tool of the people that along with being available to all, facilitating direct aid donations, etc I believe will out perform every existing system by many orders of magnitude and empower giving of otherwise aid donations left on the table in a grand scale as well.
