I’m not sure if Thiel is at the same level of Bond villain as Elon or Sam Altman but this interview was entertaining at 1.5x.
Peter Thiel and Joe Rogan discuss various topics including Thiel’s contemplation of leaving California and the country, the US budget deficit, the paradoxical nature of California’s economy, and the history and evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Thiel expressed his concerns over the US budget deficit and the potential solutions of raising taxes, cutting spending, or continuing to borrow money.
Bill Gates’ philanthropy, and the Kennedy assassination. Thiel shared his perspective on the European and American views of philanthropy, the corrupt left-wing philanthropy, and questioned Bill Gates’ character. They also touched upon Thiel’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and the potential implications of advanced technology and artificial intelligence on human society. Thiel expressed his beliefs about the Kennedy assassination, the existence of multiple groups with vested interests in ending Kennedy’s presidency, and the challenges of hiding information and carrying out covert operations in the current internet age.
