I always love hearing from Thiel but I don't think any interview has ever gotten to the core of who he is, including this one. It's still all surface level stuff. I need to know what Thiel, if he was made emperor/dictator would do/demand of society. I want to know what his no-holds-barred vision is. I hope one day he just unleashes. Give it to us raw.

I did Electrical and Electronic engineering in the early 2000s and was an engineer for many years. The problem with EEE is that in order to make advancements you have to comply with ALOT of pre-existing standards, inevitably you end up becoming an engineer who makes small changes to some existing tech within a big corporation.

Woke ideology is definitely not worse than Christianity. I'm no fan of wokeness, and it definitely needs to be toned down, but monotheistic religion is authoritarian, sexist, and homophobic (among many other terrible things). Monotheism may have some redeeming features, but on the whole it is a net negative. Further, the positive attributes of Christianity are not unique to the religion and can be attained elsewhere. The follies of wokeness do not warrant the preservation of dogmatic Christianity.

I have tremendous respect for Peter Thiel, and agree with him on his stance on identity politics. However, his claim about 30 mins in that landlords in urban cities are the beneficiaries of this and somehow contribute to this reeks of ignorance. He clearly doesn't have any rentals he manages. Landlords get the short end of the stick here, often paying $20k+ for evictions in these cities, and jump through hoops to please these very same anti-discrimination agencies. The reason rents are so expensive in these cities isn't because of landlords, but because of asinine policies preventing new construction that would drive cost down. Your rent may seem excessive, but have you looked at the mortgage in these very same cities. Home prices always outpace rents, and rental margins are paper-thin in large cities. If you want to blame someone, blame the politicians who created these cesspools under the guise of "protecting the little guy".

It’s also possible that when Theil talks about “landlords” that it’s more along the lines of the people have owned properties for a long time (generational or big cooperations) and not people just trying to make a small business in it “a la slumlord” style or something because he’s use to the high end stuff. I mean, the whole rental thing especially in big cities is a complicated topic because they’re a lot of dynamics at play with it (kicking out honest people for heavy investors to own everything for one example) and isn’t always as simple as the thing in the movie of some broke person knocking on the door telling someone to pay their rent (that is DEFINITELY one aspect of it, so I’m not trying to act like they don’t exist and don’t have an important story to tell).

The greatest delusion about diversity is that it is created by blending. No, diversity was created by centuries of relative separation. What we are doing when we're blending is we are harvesting its fruits while racing towards monotony. There is only so much diversity left before we have global monoculture. If we cherish diversity, we need to not only reap its fruits, but also seed and cultivate it, which means to maintain a healthy degree of separation. Not everything has to be connected.

It's a form of fascism. It demands adherence to the group ideology. I think the best way to describe it would be "left-wing fascism." It breeds in a corporate setting because corporate life, despite purporting to exalt individualism, really does the opposite. True individualism is only accepted at the top of the food chain. Moreover, woke is thriving currently as our culture has become obsessed with everything superficial, when we desperately need conversations of deep meaning. Even worse, anything of true depth and nuance is intentionally ignored by authorities and the media.

I don't think its true that people don't move (therefore making SF more expensive) because they think elsewhere is too conservative. This is for a few reasons: * Most people aren't oppressed, or don't believe they would be oppressed in a red state (median person is cishet, isn't affected by abortion legislation) * Cities in red states are blue because cities are liberal places * There are lots of cities around that are affordable, but people don't move there from SF. Big cities like Chicago, Philidelphia or Boston are cheaper than SF/NY. Not to mention smaller cities in blue states (e.g Burlington, Alburquerque). I think what's actually true is what Henry George would think, which is that land has a vertical supply, so landlords are constantly maximising the rent they can capture without people just moving away. Rent in San Francisco simply reflects the opportunities (mainly economic, some cultural) minus drawbacks (crime, safety). Housing/land markets are simply proxies for how good a city is.

Exactly. To insinuate that people go live in big cities because they are LGBTQ and that leads to high rents is laughable. How do you think that are able to afford such high rents? Because they make more money in the cities. Ironically this sounds like a woke view. People live in cities for the open culture which in turn induces innovation. Specifically for SF the rents are high because of the local housing laws that doesn't allow building more houses.

Gender/race relations and helping people escape poverty, everything that Thiel would dismiss as "social distractions" are actually every bit as important to economic and scientific development as economic freedom. Racism, for example, not only damages the development of children, it keeps entire demographics in states of resentment, anger and poverty. When you have people openly spreading and encouraging ideas that one race is inferior to another, or more prone to crime, or "lazier" or whatever, you're encouraging the kind of discrimination that makes it exponentially harder for people of certain races to get ahead. Kids growing up in such a social environment have their self respect and motivation stunted. It hurts their entire psychological development and hence outcome in life. Whilst certain individuals will always manage to struggle to the top despite such hardship, applied to a population in general it will result in less success, less progress, more hardship, more poverty. And it will also mean that people with minds that have the potential to help economic and scientific development are lost in the struggle, never to be fully utilized. How many innovators and thinkers have been wasted because their owners had to struggle through childhood against the kind of problems people like Peter Thiel will never experience once in their privileged lives? The truth is that social welfare and the attempt to change ignorant and prejudiced attitudes have both been successful when you consider how much worse conditions and attitudes were in the past. The English were forcing screaming, terrified 5 year old children up scalding hot chimneys to clean them right up until the late 1800's in what was quite possibly one of the most evil and macabre cases of child slavery in history. It was a change in attitude, a change in the law and social welfare which ultimately saved the plight of those kids. Left to their own devices, people have a tendency to let their basest primeval ignorance get the better of them, and this kind of ignorance does nothing but thwart scientific and social progress. I am hugely appreciative of the efforts that people have made over the years to change attitudes and reverse ignorance, and I fully recognize that such efforts are as much a part of economic and scientific progress as anything else.

There is a scholar who went into the archives of the Church several years ago, with a completely original question in his mind. His point of interest was the origins of communism hahaha, a research that we can understand probably hadn't happened in the Archivum Apostolicum before. But his intuition was correct. This American college professor of economics found records there about a group and community in a hilly countryside north from Tuscany , in the 13th century. The founder was committed to two chief principles: the denial of God and, the abolition of private property. These people lived what sounds like a Stalinist Animal Farm lifestyle. The official nature of the Archive means that these records were the result of Church investigation prompted by contemporary stories of abuse, violence and exploitation.

BTW: before it was called trickle down, voodoo and supply side economics, it was called HORSE AND SPARROW ECONOMICS because, of course, the better you feed the horses, the better the sparrows eat off the street behind them. If you’ve ever heard a description of what those mud roads were like, you can get a flavor of how our ANCESTORS felt about the trickle down idea. Between the Panic of 1873 and WWI: “There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that if you just legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous their prosperity will find its way up and through every class that rests upon it.” - William Jennings Bryan, “Cross of Gold” speech at the 1896 Democratic National Convention in Chicago Between the 1929 Crash and WWII: “They (Republicans) didn’t start thinking of the old common fellow till just as they started out on the election tour. The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickled down. Put it uphill and let it go and it will reach the dryest little spot. But he didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands. They saved the big banks but the little ones went up the flue” Will Rogers

so until point 4) - including itself - is your message that these movements are not necessarily imported by foreign actors, but actually normal reactions in response to the worst side of capitalism being present at certain times in history that tend to elevate the feeling of total injustice, etc? ... so my reading of you to that point is that these non-capitalist movements are competing in a darwinistic "free market" style, no? If that's somewhat accurate, can you elaborate on the last 2 paragraphs and their connection with the first 4 points?

@@iFastee ABSOLUTELY NOT. How on earth did you get THAT from what I said? First, I said it was LAISSEZ-FAIRE Capitalism, which is DISTINCT from Capitalism. Second, I didn’t say the problem was global CAPITALISM. What I said was that a few AMERICAN LASSRZ-FAIRE Capitalists BROKE Capitalism, just like a small minority of LAISSEZ-FAIRE Capitalists today have EXTRACTED over $50 TRILLION in untaxed assets and hid them in offshore accounts, REFUSING to contribute to the commons which benefits THEM more than millions of citizens combined. Elevated feeling of injustice? Millions of people STARVED TO DEATH as a result of the 1929 market crash. They had good God Damn reason to revolt against what they perceived as AMERICAN Capitalism, which was FALSE then and it’s FALSE now. Capitalism is NOT an economic system that has no tax system. There’s not even an attempted “Libertarian Paradise” you can point to that hasn’t had taxation - LOW TAXATION being a major contributor to the FAILURE of those attempts. Nor is a Social Safety.Net antithetical to a Capitalist system. In a highly competitive economic environment where the VAST MAJORITY of workers, work FOR a business owner, workers MUST be protected from the decisions their employers make which they have no control over, but affect their ability to FEED THEIR CHILDREN. Not sure where YOU were raised, but THESE are the values I was raised with: “GUARD AGAINST THE IMPOSTURE OF PRETENDED PATRIOTISM.” GEORGE WASHINGTON “As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protection of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality." George Washington “Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society.” George Washington - letter to Edward Newenham, October 20, 1792 “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. If there are any circumstances which permit an exception, they do not now occur to us.” Justice Robert H. Jackson, 1940 Supreme Court Justice and Chief US Prosecutor at Nuremberg Minersville School District v. Gobitis SOCIAL SAFETY NET: “Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. Whenever there is in any country, uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labour and live on. If, for the encouragement of industry we allow it to be appropriated, we must take care that other employment be furnished to those excluded from the appropriation. If we do not the fundamental right to labour the earth returns to the unemployed.” Thomas Jefferson “Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and so let your hand give in proportion to your purse.” -George Washington “To provide employment for the poor, and support for the indigent, is among the primary, and, at the same time, not least difficult cares of the public authority.” James Madison, in James Madison (1867). “1816-1828”, p.162 “He who never was hungered may argue finely on the subjection of his appetite, and he who was never distressed may harangue as beautifully on the power of principle. But poverty, like grief, has an incurable deafness which never hears. The oration loses all its edge, and ‘To be or not to be’ becomes the only question.” - Thomas Paine “I consider our relations with others as constituting the boundaries of morality... Nature [has] implanted in our breasts a love of others, a sense of duty to them, a moral instinct, in short, which prompts us irresistibly to feel and to succor their distresses... The Creator would indeed have been a bungling artist had he intended man for a social animal without planting in him social dispositions. It is true they are not planted in every man, because there is no rule without exceptions; but it is false reasoning which converts exceptions into the general rule." --Thomas Jefferson to T. Law, 1814. * It is a duty certainly to give our sparings to those who want; but to see also that they are faithfully distributed and duly apportioned to the respective wants of those receivers." --Thomas Jefferson to Megear, 1823. * "The only orthodox object of the institution of government is to secure the greatest degree of happiness possible to the general mass of those associated under it." --Thomas Jefferson to M. van der Kemp, 1812. IMMIGRATION: "I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong." -George Washington “The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and respectable Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations And Religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and previleges." -George Washington Neither the general government of the union, nor those of the individual states, are ignorant or unobservant of the additional strength and wealth, which accrues to the nation, by the accession of a mass of healthy, industrious, and frugal laborers, nor are they in any manner insensible to the great benefits which this country has derived, and continues to derive, from the influx of such adoptive children from Germany. John Adams to James Monroe, 1819 “America was indebted to immigration for her settlement and prosperity. That part of America which had encouraged them most had advanced most rapidly in population, agriculture and the arts.” - James Madison "America is now, I think, the only country of tranquility and should be the asylum of all those who wish to avoid the scenes which have crushed our friends in [other lands]." --Thomas Jefferson to Mrs. Church, 1793. FE 6:289 "It [has] been the wise policy of these states to extend the protection of their laws to all those who should settle among them of whatever nation or religion they might be and to admit them to a participation of the benefits of civil and religious freedom, and... the benevolence of this practice as well as its salutary effects [has] rendered it worthy of being continued in future times." --Thomas Jefferson: Proclamation, 1781. Papers 4:505 The Obligation to Provide Asylum: "Shall we refuse the unhappy fugitives from distress that hospitality which the savages of the wilderness extended to our fathers arriving in this land? Shall oppressed humanity find no asylum on this globe? The Constitution, indeed, has wisely provided that for admission to certain offices of important trust a residence shall be required sufficient to develop character and design. But might not the general character and capabilities of a citizen be safely communicated to every one manifesting a bona fide purpose of embarking his life and fortunes permanently with us?" --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Annual Message, 1801. ME 3:338

Western religion does contain elements of woke, but isn't defined by it says Thiel. To me it seems it's being replaced by eastern yoga, religion and mysticism as well as a mystical approach to Christianity. Like placing contemplation before action.
