This is great! Thank y’all for putting this document together, it’s difficult to track down Peter Thiel’s thoughts in one spot so this is an excellent resource, and I look forward to going through it.
I wonder if Andrew Yang is familiar with Thiel’s writings / thoughts? While it seems they disagree about the impact and/or potential threat(s) posed by automation (Thiel isn’t worried at the moment, Yang is), Yang’s book “Smart People Should Build Things” seems to echo or at least be compatible with many of Thiel’s thoughts regarding what types of work an enterprising individual should consider pursuing, the brokenness of current institutions, and the threat to “progress” when too many smart people funnel into law, finance, et alia instead of entrepreneurship, institution-building, hardware, space related things, etc.
