Thiel 101

I’ve been thinking a lot about Peter Thiel recently and, thought it would be cool to put a list of my favorite Thiel stuff that I can send to people to Thiel-pill them. I think Thiel will be known as one of the most important intellectuals, and action-takers of our time, and that he’s generally very misunderstood. His ideas/ideas that've influenced him are very interesting to study if you yourself want to take action. Also by now, I believe that he talks esoterically showing much less than he have thought.

- Favorite piece from Thiel is The Straussian Moment.

- “The Straussian Moment” on Uncommon Knowledge

Zero To One

- The notes are very good too, especially the leacture 13 ones.

- The book mainly becomes much more interesting the more Strauss and Girard you read.

- Best debate Thiel did.

- The End of the Future

- The Education of a Libertarian

- Against Edenism

- Back To The Future

- On the Great Bubble

- Thiel's Speech at the Republican National Convention

- Best Thiel podcast interviews:

- The State Contains Violence

- On The Bible

- An Era of Stagnation & Universal Institutional Failure

- What is the Hope for Humanity?

- The Diversity Myth

- Syllabus of courses Thiel taught:

- GERMAN 277: Stagnation or Progress.

- GERMAN 270: Sovereignty and the Limits of Globalization and Technology.

- It’s rare for Thiel to give life advice, but here is a commencement speech he gave.

- His comments on last elections.

- There’re some very good stories on what it likes to work with Thiel in Michael Gibson book’s Paper Belt on Fire.
