Post #527

The first episode of a new podcast by Eric Weinstein with the first guest - Peter Thiel. Once again Peter demonstrates his outside of the box thinking by challenging common beliefs. Contrary to popular notion around tech industry, Peter thinks that we do not see enough scientific and tech innovation in our generation. This is also an interesting talk because Eric leans more to left-wing politics, while Peter is a conservative and it's always nice to see how smart people settle their different points of view. Talk is pretty relaxed and quite long, so better to watch at 1,25-1,5x speed. https://youtu.be/nM9f0W2KD5s
