Sriya says indian religion is polytheistic as if that's a foregone conclusion. I don't agree. There is not a single school of philosophy from ancient or mediaeval india that can be considered polytheistic.

This was great. I've ordered the book

Also ich mochte ja den Kommentar über die Südafrikaner von dem Mozambikaner. Ihr seid halt irgendwie und egal wo in Afrika nicht so wirklich beliebt, oder? Warum bloss, Thiel? Mir würden da fast keine Gründe einfallen.

LOVE Camille Paglia. 💛

Have to laugh at this clown. Hes far right yet the far right hate him for being gay. 😂 If they had their way Thiel wouldn't be allowed to date a man, never mind marry one. Then he criticised the left, who have helped (rightfully) to legalise homosexuality. I think hes an absolute moron

24:40 "Koreans are just like central Africans, but they progressed because they were optimistic and believed in progress or whatever!!!" What an absolutely r3t@rd3d understanding of history, biology and almost everything about humans!!! 🤦‍♂

Really wonderful interview!

There are drug dealers walking on the streets. Milton would be proud of them.

Lot's of good ideas, but he key is to get political buy in within India to do this.

Milton Friedman was an evil. He supported the Drug dealers. He should not get any Nobel prize as he has done nothing. Western Economists are mainly evils; most of them used to work for the East India Company justifying the colonial exploitation.

This woman is just brilliant .

Velina 👋

Me thinks This guy is not who he purports to be lol

LOL, she’s trying to bullshit Tyler 😅

17:10 - Absolute masterclass of an answer for explaining the Taiwan non-sense hysteria. I love this lady already. Note: Apologies but I know absolutely nothing about the Balkans apart from the countries that comprise it and its atrocious history, so cannot comment on that element of this talk (which so far, has been the first 17mins).

No more books from Niall? Oh no! I do wish he'd apply his talent towards The Enlightenment and The Gilded Age.

that was bulgarian

Tyler asks about Iran and she goes on a sales pitch about her company, but provides absolutely no detail about Iran. Velina could make her statements with 80% fewer words. The discussion is more speculative than analytical. She thinks China will not attack Taiwan because it is not rational. The risk is too large. I tend to agree that it would be irrational. Later, she thinks Putin will try to take the whole of Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and the Baltic States. This would also have been Velina's rational advice if she would be Putin's advisor. I scratch my head. How on earth would this be more rational? Guerilla warfare for years in western Ukraine. Signal to European states to invest more in defense. Chinese displeasure. She claims not to do any forecasting, only foresighting, which I interpret as consultant-speak for hedged, 10-15 year forecasting. It would have been nice if she explained her reasoning. I get neocon-vibes listening to Velina. Tyler does not ask a single difficult question.

Did I just hear the interviewer diss both 'ELP' and 'The Doors'/Jim Morrison? Seriously? I'm of the impression this individual loves the smell of his own farts.

I disagree with most of Peter’s assumption’s, not because they’re implicitly wrong, but because he generalizes them to extremes that are inaccurate.

Why Dugin and an american imperialist billionaire are blabbering about katechon and modernity all of sudden seems to me like trotzki communist plot for taking over the world.

Great author

If their China policy makers, they could just say AI doesn't exist, problem solved.

The universe is beautiful because it is created by an intelligent Being who is ethically benign and sympathetic to human frailty. Evolution is a convenient fiction that does not deserve the reverent veneration is gets from the scientific community today nor does it deserve to be treated as the default explanation for our origins or even our destiny.

Valerina, to me, provides a point of view from eastern Europe that has lived under the oppression of communism. A fresh face in a world of analysts weighing in on geopolitics. Too often in the West, we are under the bombardment of narratives motivated by the Marxist media and having a voice countering their take is refreshing.

Haidt skews his figures by restricting the scope of his presentation to figures that go back no further than the year 2000 to make it look as if there is a clear connection between smartphones and social media and the uptick reported depression and self-harm. In the 1980's and 1990's the recorded rates of reported youth depression and self-harm were actually higher at their peak than they are now. All of this long before modern social media and smartphones even existed. And if you go back even further than that you find other peaks that are almost as high but bear in mind some of them are likely to be even higher than the official figures because in the early 20th Century depression and self-harm rates for groups such as blacks or immigrants were very likely not much figured into those studies. As for suicide, Haidt never tells you that suicide rates remained stable or regressed in other first world countries with access to social media, or that US suicide rates are almost at any even level with those of the 1950s. Gee, that whole "we are living in a time of unprecedented teen depression and self-harm" claim of Jonathan Haidt's is suddenly not looking so unprecedented now, is it?

George has very simplistic approach to everything.

Wonderful interview. Subscribed. Thank you to the both of you.

5:00 Thiel misrepresents Calvinism. He says that Calvinist blame "Mr. God" for their sins. That is incorrect. Your sins are your own and your own only.

Still quite a West centric perspective which still has the shades of the "White man's burden". But, at least he is asking the questions others coming from his paradigm are not asking.

india, south africa, mexico. multiple separate institutionally recognised languages. unavoidable diversity. deep connection to place, the land, by everyone. inherently democratic, or perhaps it’s distrust of autocracy although sometimes seemingly close [let’s see how mexico goes with this …]. struggling with the main challenges of the world within in the microcosm of the country. extra-christian spirituality, notwithstanding an unavoidable central influence of christianity.

Has anyone found the essay he is talking about at 29:50 on AI risk?

Hatp-tip, Mr. Beckworth & team! <- wonderful podcasts.

Without considering cultural context, psychologists may misinterpret behaviors or phenomena as universal when they are actually culturally specific. For example, the practice of setting boundaries may be seen as a psychological necessity, when it might just be a cultural norm in Western societies. Findings from W.E.I.R.D. populations are often generalized to all humans, leading to theories and models that may not accurately reflect human universality.

Was Elizabeth II descended from Alfred The Great, or more the Hanoverians, or both?

Yes, well I don’t think Catholic or protestant should be the main issue anymore unless Britain is hundreds of years behind the times.

Complicated or not, put Ireland back together. I have no vested interest other than justice and to be relieved of hearing of their struggle for 800 years.

Give Northern Ireland, Ulster, back to the Irish, make it part of the Republic of Ireland. Ifto stop hearing the belly aching. It’s one island. Instruct them how to get along and be free and just to each other. The rest of the island of Britain you can leave how it is. So endeth the lesson.

Outstanding questions though i was a little disappointed in Nowm's answers on a few things, especially on the difference between British comedians vs Americans. Ask any Brit and they would tell you its wit and intelligence versus 'in your face' observational style of an American commedian. Super interesting conversation!

I really enjoy Ted Gioia's insights on music. This interview was very fast paced, too. Well done.

Really enjoyed that, thanks! Robin is fascinating to listen to

Wow never imagined Michael in Australian accent

that was some serious pomp camp

Hey Peter! I’m religious and I think you are a good person. I do agree with you questioning the bible as I feel like the bible has been tampered with.

I like Peter Thiel… I feel like he questions everything and that is really important.
