Every time a hear Peter Thiel, I'm struck with his deep insight and wisdom about the world.

Every time i watch Peter Thiel I'm more amazed than before. I used to think Elon Musk was the most amazing person of this generation. But now I'm leaning toward Peter Thiel. He is so thoughtful and avoids labels with such skill. He says exactly what he thinks and he lets you judge him without labels.

I'm watching this video to hear Mr. Thiel's wisdom, not what the fuck the host thinks of Peter Thiel before every question. This seems to be how the host is asking his questions....I find it slightly manipulative and misleading.

Thiel with his always evolving and up to date theories - thanks for sharing

Omg this interviewer is so triggered by his political alignment that he misses the opportunity to ask valuable questions about technology and business.. He has such a liberal elitist attitude it’s detestable.

Thanks, I'm glad to find your YouTube station. Interesting and helpful.

Great that you documented this, Thiel is so smart!

The host did his job of contradicting the contrarian, thank you for this amazing conversation. I might disagree with a few arguments made by Peter Thiel, but man, what a genius.

AI empowers collectivists. Crypto empowers individuals. Thank you Peter Thiel for your insights. Highly valuable.

Who is interviewing who?

amazing how much knowledge Peter posses its stunning

I love Peter a lot, he is smart guy, very exciting to listen to him.

As an American, I love how Thiel boosts about American culture and society and takes shots at the Europeans. Especially talking about how Europeans are scared to deploy capital and rather loose money in a savings account with negative interest rates. Thank you Peter

Intro music hilariously uncomfortable and inappropriate...

Peter was brilliant as always, he's the ultimate definite optimist

A story well told. I agree "the future is open"

The Wisdom of Crowds is a book by James Surowiecki not Malcolm Gladwell. Excellent book BTW.

Thiel has classical progressive and “liberal” beliefs but liberals in 2018 have gone so far left that Thiels ideologies are now considered conservative. He’s mainly fiscally conservative. if you Research his beliefs you’ll he’s no hardcore republican. More innovators are going towards libertarianism and conservatism because new progressives are striving for borderline communism and it’s terrifying for growth.
