Peter Thiel is one of the most brilliant people of our time. Hopefully he eventually gets the recognition he deserves.

Good investor, clearly. As a thinker, just rehashes Ann Rand homilies.

"I think I think we're not going to find solutions inside the intellectual straightjacket in which our universities in our society put us" Peter Thiel. I could not agree more.

Peter Robinson wrote "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall"? Wow. I didn't know that.

Holy cow. Talk about leaving a mark on history. I'd just mic drop and retire at that point.

I really like his idea about how to handle student debt. I hope this gets spread around.

Simply brilliant! It is always refreshing to hear a clear thinker such as Mr. Thiel make arguments that are compatible with our capitalistic western model of living, opposing all the flat out nonsensical arguments presented from the left side of the political spectrum trying to revive historically failed concepts in a modern context.

"the more education you have, the more brainwashed you are." Exactly. I'm a statistics professor btw

College debt: put debt back on the colleges and universities that give students a bad education and go to a great college or university in your state where you won’t be in debt OR go to a technical college and go into some type of work where you can make tons of money! I went to medical school and have ended up with an average income, killing myself and the plumbing company owner lives in a mansion!

Thiel is a great guest. Have him on often, a true polymath!

"Much less helpful but much more accurate" Here's to the difficult truths that will be the key to escape the intellectual straight jackets of our time.

Peter Thiel always has something interesting to say. Contrarian but intelligent.

"Contrarian but intelligent" ? I think the average contrarian is probably more intelligent than the average conformist.

7:00 "perhaps it (China) can sort of..." put a boot on the face of the people, keep it there for a LONG time. (Orwell) This whole interview is a gem. I'm coming back to it again.

That quote about the french Revolution gave me the chills

Perfect! More content with Peter Thiel 🙌🏻

I had to google the word "thermidor", not to be confused with "thermador".

Peter Thiel, always the deeper look and, clearer to my working class mind. thx Peter R and Hoover. Painting today so able to listen a a few interviews. Doesn't get much better than this. (tomorrow fishing in New London NH on a warm day with light breeze - doesn't get much better than that either!!)

Who likes the way he talks about the "eye of Sauron"? talking about it with duping delight.

Serious thought-provoking perspectives.

Thanks for the interview guys...always love hearing what Peter has to say

On cue, I was speaking about Peter Thiel and his framing of global events recently. Thanks for the good work all of you at the Hoover Institution.

Very interesting interview. Shame it's not even longer!

Great insights and perspectives! Thank you, Mr. Theil for sharing...

It's Thiel's panopticon...we just live in it.

Boy I wish this talk took place 3 weeks later.

Why no one ever asks Peter Thiel why he lives in LA and previously in SF, and not in Utah or Mississipi?

Gads, this guy has great understanding of the modern world, amazing resource for correct thinking !

The maverick/eccentric quality of Thiel's mind/thought processes left Dr. Robinson in unfamiliar territory: no simple batting of familiar forms back and forth. I couldn't reconcile Thiel's classic liberalism and iconoclasm with PayPals conformity with the PC agenda, as manifested through the barring of 'conservative' commentators such as Stefan Molyneux.

I grew suspicious of him when I saw him in bilderberg vids ignoring people that were asking fair questions.

I love how Theil has such a rhythm in the way he talks. And he’s extremely intellectually.

A Bear Market of ideas and a lack of self awareness seem to go hand in hand in spite of outside influences.

he asked most of the same questions from his last interview with Peter last year... which is also on this channel. And Peter answered most of the questions with the exact same answers... they did the Michelle Obama, China questions etc all less than 4 months ago D: strange

17:20 "it would be disturbing if they weren't lying" . funny.

This man is pure Brilliance, he gives a perspective which is not talked about a lot.

Peter Theil is the man

It was great to hear from you once again. @hooverinstitution will it be too much to ask for an interview with Jordan B Peterson?

Yale/ Harvard as “ Studio 54 “. I endorse Tiel Party.

The more edumucated you are, the more brainwashed you are. Thank you Peter Thiel.

Interesting to listen to this one week before the presidential election. Boy has 2020 been one for the record books.

Great some-what open non-scripted conversation.

easily one of the great minds of our times

God unfolds his plan according to his time table. Humans who think they are in control are deluding themselves.

His point at 28:00 about American exceptionalism is pretty great.

owning a house builds no capital. taxes, repairs and interest steal any profit you make for the first 30 years.

The DMV and Post Office work really well, particularly compared to actually existing private sector experiences. See: Ticketmaster.com, booking flights, and so on. I actually think many public and private operations work just fine.

Enjoyed this very much. Thanks.

It's rich for Americans to talk about China's "demographic" challenges, without looking at their own house.

Wonderful insight.

@3:42 this quote is often incorrectly used, Zhou Enlai was referring to a 1968 student revolt in France. Would be like Xi Jinping commenting on the current day yellow vests protests and being labeled as forming an opinion on 1789.

Thank you for the content!

What a wonderful conversation! This might just have altered the course of history. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔱🔱🔱🔱🇺🇸🇮🇳🇺🇸🇮🇳🇺🇸🇷🇺🇷🇺🇭🇰🇭🇰🤙🇹🇼✝️✝️✝️

Great mind this man has.

first one for peter thiel video!

(Right Place && Right Time) > Wrong Predictions

On target like a well designed Space X rocket!!!

Fantastic

Extremely thought provoking

its amazing Thiel never fall for simplification for China US situation

Thiel is a great out-of-the-box thinker.

You fail to discuss the real elephant in the room - The Federal Reserve System. Because of it we do not have capitalism and haven't had it since 1913. It has created Central Planning and price fixing of money.

Mr. Thiel at that time left out that war would be the fourth option. That's why it was not avoided in the first place! It was an unrecoginzed part of this equation. (26:30)

25:00 the future of Europe seems bright 🥺

Very informative, many, many thanks.

He is really smart

Mr. Theil, I want to see the corporation I work for destroyed. Evil, rapacious, arrogant criminals..

"Japan is on the side of the US"... a simplistic analysis.

24:40 People voting against their own self interest. How stupid are the people working at Google?

remarkable mind thank you

Student of René Girard

that michelle obama story is just hilarous and disturbing at the same time 16:35

We too change like the tides, earth quakes and floods. Even the hardest concrete can be picked away back into gravel. Is Earth just a clearing house for the next existence? This existence would all seem to be just a lottery. Love is the immeasurable through it all. Family, Country, neighbor, self, and good luck. We are on our own out here “in this dark corner of the universe”. justwalkaway2020

good stuff but nothing new if you know Thiel

Peter is great

Smartest man alive

GET HYPEED PETER FUCKING THIEL!!! NEW VIDEO!! WHOOOO

Door #3 actually looks pretty good.

I don’t understand why question about Putin’s regime in Russia have been asked? Specially, when China’ regime discussed...

The 4th door is that human becomes a cross planet species.

Peter is my idol

In china, you cant critise the government, in the west, you cant critise anything.

Not bad

communism: 1. A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members. 2. Communism. a. A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people. b. The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat. (p.383; American Heritage Dictionary, Third Edition; Houghton & Mifflin; 1992)

Very interesting

Paypal is great! Thank you!

Reform ( Political or economic ) come out of a failed economy not a prosperous one

This is the guy pumping PLTR to ATH

I very much like Thiel, because he is a such deep thinker and always says fascinating things. Nevertheless, the reactions of the audience and the interviewer in particular are always uneasy because he seems to have problems with every contrarian statement Peter makes. This is unfortunate, it injects a bad taste to the whole session and one can see that Peter is struggling with this atmosphere. If you are calling an original thinker just to make a showcase about how crazy he is, then just invite an ordinary person and listen to their boring ideas. I remember the interviewer from his great sessions with Friedman.

The Overton window has shifted to the right not the left

This interview did not shine an iota of light on anything. A bright mind like Peter Thiel should focus on entrepreneurship instead of rambling his way into irrelevance. He talks more like a victim rather than a confident genius that I used to think he was.

AI and human will play out among all.

He look like jhon cena

Great mind. Needs a better interviewer who isn’t just reading a list of questions, but rather engages in more depth with some of the insights presented. Anyway, still good and appreciated.

I'm a lawyer who worked in venture capital in NYC. Thiel is a weird chap (occasionally deranged, politically) , a true contrarian - something which comprises of a lot of his identity. He's certainly a smart guy, though not tens of billions ($) of times smarter than his peers. In the VC world the random chance of opportunity is beyond our control. Like a lot of life. No disrespect, but he might not be quite the genius he feels himself to be. And his choice of presidents is crappy. :-) D.A., J.D., NYC

A complete liar. 🤑🤥

27:20 Wonder why he picked that country? And to enlist? Lol wtf

Super interesting. But even Peter is afraid to talk about what really matters - it is biology what drives history/culture. Average Western person in 1950 was way smarter, had healthier sexual/parental instincts, was overall more vital than an average Westener in 2020. We need to focus on reproduction and on immigration. Encourage healthy smart people to have kids at the optimal biological age (early twenties), and encourage parents to take good care of their kids, not dump them into state institutions at 6 weeks.

13:53 the way Socialism really works is 'uhm' different (ignores 100 Million deaths)

Malia Obama's name is pronounced Mah-Lee'-uh. I'm no fan of her parents, but your pronunciations make my Hawaii ears smart! 😖. MALIA translates loosely to peaceful or calm, rooted from Mary. Mahalo plenty. 🤙🏽 🌈

Just a suggestion ... your audience is not in the mood for the "polites" of social cocktail chatter about introductions, resumes, and how much the guest may or may not have enjoyed his cub scout little league baseball, how he learned to write and decided to publish a book which was #XX on the Book Club ... blah, blah ... I clicked to hear the guy say what he has to say, not to hob-nob vicariously with "society" and discuss backgrounds. In short: cut to the chase, and don't make us FFWD in the hopes of finding it. P.S. edit: you should know you have maybe 30 seconds in which to interest the viewer with real content, if that.
