Make Ticker Tape Parades Great Again: A Conversation with Peter Thiel
Recorded on December 7, 2021
Peter Thiel is a Silicon Valley founder and investor, and quite a successful one at that: he co-founded PayPal, was an early investor in Facebook, and started and serves as the chair of Palantir. Lately, Thiel has become more active in politics. He supported President Trump in the 2016 election and has been a force in several House and Senate races in the 2020 cycle.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Thiel discusses his politics, his campaign, and the scourge of totalitarian conformism in the United States and abroad; the problem with “following the science”; where President Biden deserves the blame and where he doesn’t; and why cryptocurrency may just save the world.

He’s the best! The election was fortified from the top down and bottom up. Jan sixth was a false flag attack Ashley Babs was staged. All with video evidence hard to find it all now though
Peter is so good at pointing out phenomena that are hiding in plain sight from the rest of us.
Nothing more enjoyable than a Peter Thiel interview. Please have him on as often as possible :)

Agree
"If you limit yourself to saying nice things, then you can't actually say much at all" great quote, I will use that.
"Reason tells us to believe in the wisdom of crowds, revelation tells us to be skeptical." On point.
Tomorrow morning at 8 is my cal 1 final exam and I failed to resist the urge to finish watching this video with Peter Thiel.
I 've been waiting for Peter Thiel's new video for 2 years.
Thank you for this brilliant interview. Mr. Thiel's observations regarding the effective muzzling of dissent hit home. The level of critical thought has almost evaporated in this country, and a weird tribal proxy is in its place. It's creepy.
Peter Thiel is my Favorite Public Intellectual.
My personal favorite element of the narrative in Afghanistan doesn't work issue is the fact that we were trying to push hard to have female judges there but, we had to tolerate the rape of children in order to "respect their culture."
You two really bring the best out of each other, these interviews are always the best way to explore Thiel's mind.
You just made my day! Nothing better than a new Peter Thiel and uncommon knowledge episode!
YOU CANNOT COMPLY YOUR WAY TO FREEDOM
My favorite youtube channel hands down! Peter Thiel is one of my favorite intellectuals.
Thanks Peter and Peter. Doesn't get any better than these interviews with brilliant patriotic citizens. Tom Sowell another favorite of course, but many others on Uncommon Knowledge.
I'd like to see more people like Peter Thiel and Niall Ferguson brought into government in high level advisory positions.
Peter Thiel, Patriot So good
Thank you Peter! Bravo!!
Peter Robinson is such an enjoyable interviewer
I see Peter thiel I click. Simple man

Very clever man saying things which appear simple. Then I twigged - I'm a Brit. A case of 2 nations divided by a common language :).
Love listening to this guy.
This guy has not aged. One of his life-extension startups must have found a solution.
If we did have a ticker tape parade tomorrow, the honoree would be a homeless transgender Black person(?), wounded by a police gun shot, with a history of domestic violence, armed robbery, and drug addiction. We tried to focus on the positive, but we missed.
Intelligent conversations are rare on this platform.

@@BBulmz360 Was gonna say the same thing, lol.
Such a clear thinker. The sadness is that what Peter Thiel is saying was what constituted civil society and common sense pre-2010. Of course the Fed will ignore inflation - they can't afford the interest rates on the record government debt levels. Expect inflation to flow, nominal rates to remain low (if not go negative). We are in prime financial repression territory; people keep saying 1970s, but it looks more like the 1940s from where I'm sitting.
Great conversation, between two great men.
This was an absolute gem of a conversation. I knew the name but I never knew to much about Peter. A very wise man and I throughly enjoyed the entirety of the conversation. Thank you gentlemen 🙏
We must think alike, we must think alike. The sheep forgot to think. Peter is a great intellectual. Thank you for this talk
Peter is, as always, brilliant!
Peter and Peter again! Christmas came early this year.
Brilliant.
“Saying you’re a libertarian is always a somewhat cowardly way of saying you’re a loser, that you’re never going to win.” lol
My two favourite Peter's, back together to break some new ground :)
What an incredible interview! Thank you so much for securing Peter thiel for an hour of conservative philosophy. Priceless
Right on. Right on.
Love these interviews!
Brilliant interview.
Fascinating
Interesting listening to a billionaire and former attendee speak out against the Davos summit. Mr Robinson should have went deeper on the topic.
it is a total pleasure listening to these two men speak with each other - thank you for sharing with us
Thank you for your work.
Thank you so much. Restored my faith in the individual and freedom
Peter, truth a public utility. Let's crowdsource the truth in a small area, such as with statements/promises/stances made by members of congress. Thats a very specific target and a monopoly capable of developing!
Great to see!
NEW THIEL VIDEO LETS GO!!
Caesar Augustus stopped triumphs around the time Rome was ceasing to be a republic…
Brilliant mind
Peter you beauty always pleasure listening to you :)
Wow, awesome perspectives! I finally truly understand the "madness of crowds'. Being one with an auditory processing disorder, Personal experiences have caught me alone from the crowd in many situations. Example~ US AF basic training, our flight given instructions by the training instructer found 49 lost, myself alone at the goalpost. Pizza reward was enjoyed by the entire flight, as will be the gate of pearl to heaven. #WisdomMatters
All topics great, thank you for talking about the horrible federal reserve
I really liked the questions the interviewer asked, well done 💯
Hmm, Peter. We agree 99.999%. Should I be worried?
Peter, thank you
ask him why Palantir bought $50 million in gold
Merry Christmas :)
Thanks for this
The Peters!
Great conversation, thanks
Great 👍
Finally!!!
This is great
Peter on right track on stupidity of the mass and collectivist/communist movement. I give him credit for his honesty and intelligence. Not every billionaire is intelligent; e.g. Bill Gates, Soros and Bloomberg. They are clever and smart but definitely not intelligent.
Perfect, just too short Peter, as always.
Oh GFY Thiel! Karma knows your name..real well.
I like Peter. He bankrupted Gawker. Good riddance.
Hi Petes. 😚🎄
Hope more people watch it.
Credit needs to go where credit is due. The West lifted 600-700 million people in China out of poverty despite the influence of the CCP. Hoover please discuss.
Thank you
I saw all the parades for Trump including all those wonderful boat parades. I didn't see any Biden parades because I never saw Biden. Prove me wrong. Hecklers don't count for Brandon.
All hail PALANTIR
Lol, Nice.... at least back in those days the small business workers didn't throw money into the ticker tapes for their retirements... How odd it is to have small businesses pay for their big business counter parts
What does Peter think of Elon Musk being TIME 2021 person of the year?
18:35 "shithole" lol
Sounds like Marc is Zuckerberg 2:21
Ticker tape parades should be reserved for heroes, not underachievers.
A ticker tape parade for Elon Musk!
It is always fascinating for me to see billionaires who have the most liberty in capitalism celebrating Libertarianism.
Peter needs to tread softly. They're coming for his roth ira.
We are in a marketing bubble... help us PT!

Eliminated. The surface area for intellectual debate.
Woo
Peter is good but he does not comment much on the JQ.
I was hoping for more of a Lyn Alden deep dive interview. This one was so shallow, i did not learn much.
Respectfully, the segment on the bond market was pathetic. The US is in a 41 year long bond bull market -- the longest in history. A bond bull market is DEFLATIONARY. Few are aware the Great Depression was a bond bull market, and the Depression didn't end until the bond bull was over. The FED is not fighting inflation; it has not been fighting inflation for decades! The FED -- and other CBs around the world -- are struggling to avoid the maw of hyperdeflation.
He says ‘um’ too much
Don't you think it's weird, that man so posthumously discredited, get's an institute named after him? What does it say about the character of the people running it? Definitely the kind of place you'd find Thiel, I guess.
