Rivalry causes us to overemphasize old opportunities and slavishly copy what has worked in the past.
Peter Thiel
Never invest in a tech CEO that wears a suit.
Peter Thiel
A true bubble is when something is overvalued and intensely believed. Education may be the only thing people still believe in in the United States. To question education is really dangerous. It is the absolute taboo. It's like telling the world there's no Santa Claus.
Peter Thiel

Peter Thiel
My own answer to the contrarian question is that most people think the future of the world will be defined by globalization, but the truth is that technology matters more.
Peter Thiel
You'll attract the employees you need if you can explain why your mission is compelling: not why it's important in general, but why you're doing something important that no one else is going to get done.
Peter Thiel
The business model piece is we're always talking about competing more effectively. If you're starting a company or career you don't want to compete. You want to create a monopoly. We want to invest in a company that has a good plan to create a monopoly.
Peter Thiel
We cannot take for granted that the future will be better, and that means we need to work to create it today.
Peter Thiel
Higher education holds itself out as a kind of universal church, outside of which there is no salvation.
