People talking crap about peter thiel in the comments fail to realize (1) how intelligent he is, (2) his accomplishments, (3) how he gives back to the industry and (4) how humble and honest he is.
+Eva Green fuk him and how intelligent he is..government contracts hire many people..these rich idiots don't care about society but lining up their pockets..it's very simple
+Thulsa Doom You are basically saying "everything is simple - I am so smart - successful people are wrong" And I hear "I don't understand the world, I am dumb, and smart people do things I don't understand"
+PINGPONGROCKSBRAH I think by contrarian he merely nods at the fact that usually popular trends are misleading and rife with herd mentality. If you follow and act contrary to the populist trends, regardless of the objective benefits of such a course of action, just to be contrarian, you are asking for trouble.
PINGPONGROCKSBRAH He doesn’t deny that he is a contrarian. He claims he is not a contrarian for contrarian’s sake. He only takes a contrarian position if he believes it is true, not simply to be obstinate.
I listen to Peters speeches over and over he is a very clever man, but the advertisements in this particular speech make me happy. I know some people think it is annoying but I love it
I think the interviewer did a very good job. I mean I skipped the intro and the ads he made for his firm.. other than that it was engaging conversation and he just let Peter do most of the talking.
Honestly, don't think it was too outrageous. My wife told me about an article she read of a gentleman working on AI who supposedly stated he didn't think humans were anything special and that the planet would be better off without us. Regardless of whether or not you believe that is true, the implication behind that is if he is successful with strong AI, it would almost undoubtedly be a different form than say Asimov's version of three laws protecting human life.
Jesus-Pierre Salgado III No. I believe I've seen and read too much about Peter and all the other tech billionaires. It's all the same talking points. Just the other day I was listening to an Elon Musk interview and got bored. I may just stop consuming any nonfiction and news for the next five years so things can be exciting and new again when I start back into it.
u shouldnt go "toe 2 toe" - u aren't fighting with them. put ur ego aside and make it about the guest & audience. ur track record speaks for itself. we already love u JCal, u dont need to keep proving ur smart. We know. thats why we follow and support you ;)
Great episode! You were right, many notes to take. I'm a new fan but I'm catching up quickly. Why the skepticism from Florida? I would agree with Peters absolute rule concept. Lots of great ideas still to come, even out of FL. I'm working on one right now that I would love to run by you Jason. If I could have a moment of your time I think you would agree.
It's difficult to take seriously people who purport to be on the cutting edge yet don't recognize the death rattle of impending obsolescence and continue to employ the intrusive advertising model.
Kyle A oooo you're right. What about quora??? Snapchat will definitely be a huge business in the future. They'll prob open up to everyone in 3-5 years time
I think the most important thing to say about this is to say is:"Is Peter Thiel going to single-handedly bring back bleached tight fitting denim"... but seriously, i think everyone should watch this,,, (disagree with everything and refuse to compete) because people are pissed off and don't really understand why mostly, f. it all.
HAHAHA...The interviewer is 4 times smarter than all of you put together. Do you even know who he is? He just has a certain jumpy personality and he speaks fast. If you watch him a few times you will start to like him. He is very real and a honest guy and doesn't talk bullshit.
at around 8:00 he says google glasses, but because the consonants are the same it sounds like he said google asses. That really got my attention bc I thought for a second that google started a porn company.
Hi, what is the best way to get in touch with Peter Thiel? If a person has something that now one has that could be worth a fortion that will help the world!!!......James
With a minimum wage and an affordable housing initiative. Some zoning laws can be useful, maybe not all - and if they are proven to be bad for everyone else except developers and landlords - then sure, change them and make those exact arguments about how and why with evidence for those exact regulations. Not hur dur all zoning regulations are bad. F'n tech bros, actually go back to the south bay. And yes I understand the south bay is a either wasteland ghetto or suburbs filled with yuppies.
Jason blatantly being racist saying what if group of Pakistani kids start working on AI for ISIS. Love Jason but horrible moderator here, I could tell Thiel was slightly annoyed as he kept cutting him off for lame jokes.
Dude WTF is up with the horrible intro music that is not just bad but has zero place in start up talk with serious people??? Your judgment is really bad with including that music! The second I heard it I was like "WTF???!!" Lol
Complaining about free content (better than TV) full of knowledge that takes time, schedules, energy, effort and money is also annoying and unbearable.
Peter Thiel's comments about Tesla are ridiculous. He says they're competing against Ford or GM... LOL, you seem to be forgetting the german and japanese who have some of the best engineers in the world. Silly bs.
People talking crap about peter thiel in the comments fail to realize (1) how intelligent he is, (2) his accomplishments, (3) how he gives back to the industry and (4) how humble and honest he is.
***** yes, and Y Combinator too.

Thulsa Doom keep crying you little bitch
Well said.
+Thulsa Doom You are basically saying "everything is simple - I am so smart - successful people are wrong" And I hear "I don't understand the world, I am dumb, and smart people do things I don't understand"
Peter Thiel is frighteningly smart.
Whenever Peter speaks, I listen. Such an original thinker with no fear.
same here. i don't always agree, but it seems to always be worth hearing.
Any time spent with Peter Thiel is time well spent. Excellent questions as well… thank you guys … :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Peter Thiel disagrees that he is contrarian. How surprising.
+PINGPONGROCKSBRAH I think by contrarian he merely nods at the fact that usually popular trends are misleading and rife with herd mentality.
If you follow and act contrary to the populist trends, regardless of the objective benefits of such a course of action, just to be contrarian, you are asking for trouble.
How contrarian.
PINGPONGROCKSBRAH
He doesn’t deny that he is a contrarian. He claims he is not a contrarian for contrarian’s sake. He only takes a contrarian position if he believes it is true, not simply to be obstinate.
That's not what he said. He said he was a "truthful" contrarian.
He is anti-mimetic not contrarian.
I listen to Peters speeches over and over he is a very clever man, but the advertisements in this particular speech make me happy. I know some people think it is annoying but I love it
Thiel makes a really great point in that it is not simply about being contrarian. You also have to know the thing is true.
That ad for a law firm ten minutes in was absolutely detestable.
But they have 10 to 20 years of experience!
(it's probably 10.5 years)
used car salesman vibes
They win 5% - 95% of all their cases!!!
Did you get value out of the video?
Good.
Great interviews with Thiel; I write notes and often review piece.
It's always dangerous to have absolute rules. Its ALWAYS dangerous to have absolute rules.
Only Sith deal in absolutes.
@@agaperion Is that a... Rule?!
it's also dangerous to have Article 58 of the Russian SFSR Penal Code and enforce it any damn way you please.
I think the interviewer did a very good job. I mean I skipped the intro and the ads he made for his firm.. other than that it was engaging conversation and he just let Peter do most of the talking.
Hey, interview guy, Probably don't want to try and be clever and witty around Peter Thiel as the contrast will not redound to your self-interest.
That's Jason Calcanis. Multi-millionaire. Angel Investor. And probably a friend of Thiel's. They are peers
Holy shit... this man is a genius.
"If everybody thinks that it's going to get built, then nobody will feel like they need to do it, then nobody will build it, so it won't get built"
49:15 that awkward silence ending. lolll
The questions are all over the place, there is no theme and segue. However, anytime Peter speaks, I listen
Awesome Interview. Peter Thiel is awesome and & I love that guy Jason!!
28:20 - are you fucking kidding me?
YOU'RE A FUCKING WHITE MALE!!!
+a a yawn
Honestly, don't think it was too outrageous.

I love Peter, insanely smart dude
wow, those ads are horrible.
Gotta get that bread.
This interview is bound to be interesting.
So was the interview interesting?
Jesus-Pierre Salgado III No. I believe I've seen and read too much about Peter and all the other tech billionaires. It's all the same talking points.
Just the other day I was listening to an Elon Musk interview and got bored.
I may just stop consuming any nonfiction and news for the next five years so things can be exciting and new again when I start back into it.
Wild Academy Python, Ruby, or PHP? Which one is best for the back-end?
Jesus-Pierre-Miguel Salgado III Ruby is the best decision, in my mind. I've been a Ruby dev for about seven years and love it.
***** Sometimes. Not always.
34:15 amazing, run away from any startup with these buzzwords.
u shouldnt go "toe 2 toe" - u aren't fighting with them. put ur ego aside and make it about the guest & audience. ur track record speaks for itself. we already love u JCal, u dont need to keep proving ur smart. We know. thats why we follow and support you ;)
Peter Thiel is right, we can't just assume people will build AI, we have to get involved and make it what we want it to be.
This aged well.
I really hate seeing those ads....just disturbing
There's something about this host, especially during is commercials, that irritates me.
Shut the fuck up bitch
I don't see it. He's kind of nice person
Thanks for this video Jason!
31:30 Trends
Peter Thiel doesn't like David Choes work apparently
Lol for sure.
Great episode! You were right, many notes to take. I'm a new fan but I'm catching up quickly. Why the skepticism from Florida? I would agree with Peters absolute rule concept. Lots of great ideas still to come, even out of FL. I'm working on one right now that I would love to run by you Jason. If I could have a moment of your time I think you would agree.
Chris Hunt nothing good ever came out of Florida
Yeah I wish they expanded on that more. I was really interested to find out why, especially being an Orlando resident in the tech industry.
I hope one day Humanity can get to a point where people like these can be at powerful positions in Politics.
People like this control the politicians no?
Recent American Presidential Election.
It's difficult to take seriously people who purport to be on the cutting edge yet don't recognize the death rattle of impending obsolescence and continue to employ the intrusive advertising model.
huh?
45:40 so is he saying search is dead? What comes after seo?
Kyle A Snapchat. Its consumption on steroids. Great for advertising.
But that's push seo is pull.what replaces that? I thought snapchat was only open to big advertisers? Have you had success?
Kyle A oooo you're right. What about quora???
Snapchat will definitely be a huge business in the future. They'll prob open up to everyone in 3-5 years time
Great interview. Thank you both.
Thiel is a walking advertisement for Rene Girard's mimetic theory. If you think Thiel is smart, read Girard.
pete gerard valley of kings yeah ;)
You made him talk for 20min about Elon. Nice one bud!
this is what you get when your father is a chemical engineer.........and german.
Why the stupid intro music?
I think the most important thing to say about this is to say is:"Is Peter Thiel going to single-handedly bring back bleached tight fitting denim"... but seriously, i think everyone should watch this,,, (disagree with everything and refuse to compete) because people are pissed off and don't really understand why mostly, f. it all.
Sending groups in on someone trying to survive by what story was written I single handedly took out the whole grop
ads are annoying.
really educative
These were some really stupid questions. The interviewer is very irritating.
Pritesh Shrivastava Seems nervous or a little star struck.
+Pritesh Shrivastava Ha ha+. Interviewer is a normal guy ,Pal.
HAHAHA...The interviewer is 4 times smarter than all of you put together. Do you even know who he is? He just has a certain jumpy personality and he speaks fast. If
you watch him a few times you will start to like him. He is very real and a honest guy and doesn't talk bullshit.
he's just a used car salesman from bay ridge who happens to be a multi-millionaire. who are you?
i still dont understand why there are so many dislikes
you can see the dislikes? Thought youtube stopped showing them.
@startups lol don't get SCURRED
So curious about what it was like at deepmind’s fundraise scene.
TIME TO ENGAGE "WALKER CORPORATE LAW GROUP, PLLC" POST HASTE.
smart choice...
22:53 Sequoia Capital was a seed investor for DeepMind!
So Thiel is not a contrarian then.. he just looks for what's true. If others think differently then he becomes a contrarian
I like the host who ask those questions that i want to know.
Good job Jason!
Hope you enjoy bricking camera

Did you ever get a hold of him? lol
8:44
thanks
He's preachin his evangelion, in every conference he answer the same questions with the same answers
this guy has the midas-touch..
that sounds good ,lets try it
What's the deal with Florida? No good business ideas?
Contrarian government contractors, now I’ve heard everything 😂
LOOL GOOGLE watching this in 2020 and falling of chair laugh lol
This was only 5 years ago. Google must fall if the world has any hope
There is a big need for a paradigm change toward technology and stop worry about jobs, that is just stupid.
PETER THIEL IS VERY HUMBLE AND DOWN TO EARTH MAN ALTHOUGH IS HAS BEEN RICH STABILITY IN THIS FACE OF UNIVERSE. GOD BLESS HIS HUMBLE HEART.
Umm What?
HUH...!!! NO ENGLISH COMPREHENSION ..??? HALLUUUUURRRR...!!!!
Good stuff.

A contrarian opposed to contrarianism would be ...?

2:28 a boy who being shy and low communication skill . Coming for saying hi to guests.
sup
I think its a lesson for the interviewer, almost all questions are not interesting that Peter hve to talk other interesting things
When things are bad I spot it starting a war tranking cars
Stop interrupting him.
Uh…his intro didn’t age well given Orlando looks way more appealing than San Fran in 2023 and not to mention he now has residence in Miami.
Jason blatantly being racist saying what if group of Pakistani kids start working on AI for ISIS. Love Jason but horrible moderator here, I could tell Thiel was slightly annoyed as he kept cutting him off for lame jokes.
Great interview !!!
V bullish on TSLA
Why? - They have a team of highly motivated, high profile investors.
I don't understand all the hate for the interviewer. Good questions
Seinfeld fashion
It's apparently a semi new hipster idea. Don't think Peter is aware though.
Everyone who is technical dresses like this in Silicon Valley and you act like it's a new or weird thing.
moar walker corporate law group!
Peter Thiel > interviewer
we can't all be Thiel
i feel the need to shit when i watch see the ads break the flow :-@
jesus gotta improve the noti game... that's the 2nd time in a row i've been 40 minutes plus late... #badnoti 🤣
This is 2023. The AI panic is still unjustified.
Host is so cringe
You should always avoid absolutism. 😅 Am I the only one laughing at that? Never bet against Elon? Anyone? 😅
lol, he called Steve Jobs a jerk!
Zeus guess you’re the same
Dude WTF is up with the horrible intro music that is not just bad but has zero place in start up talk with serious people??? Your judgment is really bad with including that music! The second I heard it I was like "WTF???!!" Lol
I had to downvote this video due to the annoying ads. I know you have to make money but it was unbearable.
Complaining about free content (better than TV) full of knowledge that takes time, schedules, energy, effort and money is also annoying and unbearable.
Zukerberg/Jordan lol
We have right you destroyed our amendments I'll build th
I have traing you'll never understand I called this 10 year ago

Yes, everyday, all the way to the bank.

Let’s talk about the dude doing the interview smh
he got lucky with Paypal they were upside down and insolvent Ebay bailed them out of much trouble with State regulators.
‘He got lucky’. Ugh shut up! Excuses from losers to cut down successful people.
AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
