- Recorded in Florence, Italy, on October 19, 2022
With his many varied interests in technology, politics, and culture, Peter Thiel has often been described as a Renaissance man. So perhaps it was only fitting that we traveled to Florence, Italy-where the Renaissance originated and thrived for hundreds of years-to speak with him. In this wide-ranging interview, we cover several topics, including his support for candidates across the country who are running as outsiders, why technology has not fulfilled many of its early promises, and why California is still America’s incubator for ideas and growth.

How on earth is this content free. Brilliant interview.
It has been a while. Glad to see Peter again.
Peter Robinson is a fantastic interviewer
These interviews by Peter Robinson are the #1 reason for me to have a computer and an internet connection. Thoughtful and deep interviews are tremendously interesting , and Mr Robinson's interviews are the best of the best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
14:30- the thing about China is that they are… Culturally and historically Chinese. They are not Europeans who are communists, they are China, a very different culture and history.
My opinion on why the West stagnated:
- Lost industry to foreign nations, which had hitherto fed off and nourished scientific and engineering advances, and provided a real reward for studying engineering and working blue collar jobs.
- Overabundance of artificially cheap goods, care of zero wage foreign offshored industry, turning people into consumers rather than creators.
- Government growing in size and influence, with regulation growing endlessly blocking technological advancement by default.
- Socialist government policies, to offset the downtrodden former blue collar demographic, creating a permanent underclass and unaccountable elite, creating vast imbalances and giving the government more excuses to expand and crush entrepreneurship in the process.
We didn't get flying cars, but at least we got information & great content like this with one click.
I always enjoy Peter’s insights and alternative takes. He really challenges us all to think. Thanks for interviewing him and sharing.
Can we start asking Thiel new questions, please?
Uncommon Knowledge one of the very few programs worth watching on the internet. Thought provoking and intellectually stimulatiing discussions with an array of fascinating guests and profound interviewing skills.Thank you.
One of the most enlightening and mentally stirring conversations ever. If only a voting public would think these things through. Thank you for this.
Great interview! Thanks Peter and Peter.
these are great, Peter, they are just too short! would love to have them go 90-120 minutes if possible.
An intelligent and captivating discussion. Thank you, Peter and Peter.
Great to hear Carroll Quigley quoted at 22:45 by none other than Peter Theil, on the Hoover Institutes podcast! I can see the quote caught our good old presidential speech writer Peter Robinson by surprise when tied into the discussion of the California partisan divide. Quigleys sober look at American history, is of great concern to the foundational beliefs of modern American history as it is taught in public schools. If you want to further your knowledge in regards to American history, Hoover Institute actually produced a great fellow by the name of Antony Sutton, who wrote incredible works, greatly quoting Quigley throughout, that I suggest reading as soon as possible. He is a more condensed understanding of Quigley's 1000 page books such as Tragedy and Hope, focusing more on our foundational understanding of the architects who designed and profited from the second world war.
Seriously fascinating interview. Thiel has a formidable intellect, with absolutely no pretence.
Peter hasn’t been around for a while and I’m thrilled to be able to listen to his current thought! Thank you both.
One of the most famous members of ole "PayPal mafia".. Absolutely brilliant guy
It’s sort of sad that someone like Peter Thiel would never be elected to office. And he wouldn’t want to be. The guy is just so damn prescient.
I'm sure its misspeak but Nuclear power plants are not "dual use". Bombs have pure fissile material (over 90%) while plants only have around 4%.
Peter is unbiased as far as I can tell. Most reporters and interviewers lack this trait.
Thank you SO MUCH for this dialogue. This is therapy that money can not buy and I am SO grateful to you for this equal opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds in our world. You are making waves Peter Robinson, as well as many of the great divergent thinkers you interview.
As a civilization, our weakest point is our spiritual level of development, not lack of technology.
Hi Peters. Good to see you two again.😘
Peter Robinson always has very thought-out, in-depth interviews.
A poem…
Peter Thiel brings to light,
things that hide in plain sight
Excellent
Was really looking forward to Peter Thiel coming on the show again.
Another brilliant interview....why I love CZcams.
Thank The Hoover Institute and Peter Robinson….YT censors🤮
Peter I always enjoy your interviews. Another great one.
Another banger!! Thanks so much for the content!!
OK, but when Peter Thiel talks about policing keystrokes, that is mass surveillance.
he gives me hope
Thank you so much for this!
I love Theil his insights are always worth hearing. Thank you Hoover!
It's an interesting idea I haven't heard before that everyone lived under the fear of nuclear annihilation for so long that now we are afraid to create new technologies. I suppose one counter argument to that, that just occurred to me would be the biolabs that are still creating new diseases. That's a pretty obvious technology that can easily be used as a weapon that we are still progressing.
Hoover getting more hip with Star Wars references in its titles.
"We were promised flying cars and all we got was a 140 characters" 🤣
Fantastic talk. Thank you!
new Peter Thiel video - like from the first second. The man literally lives in the future
I appreciate his views on college
"Greetings Earthlings", Peter Thiel
Thank you for your great interviews Peter
God Bless Peter Thiel.
Thank you, great interview
I could not have agreed with Peter more.
That was great. Thanks.
What an interesting and intelligent conversation. I feel 1% smarter..
Very interesting interview!
Sorry, but maybe ask him something new, this is a replica of his old interview(s)
Excellent thank you
one interesting thing to me is its hard to tell exactly the limits of the application of a technology, and which ones will sort of run into a physical limitation versus which techs are poised for a leap in sophistication. batterys are a recent example, they have enabled smaller and smaller tech devices, which enabled entirely new products, etc. The generational impact issue is completely related to high housing prices in desirable locations. of course if young generation cant afford property, they cant/wont build the same wealth as their parents (unless they inherit it).
Brilliant⭐️
Lol "by the time this airs we'll know (if Blake masters has won)"... it's two days after the election and we still don't know and may not for some time!
What is the paper mentioned at 38:14?
Thought provoking, well done.
Thank you gentlemen!
More Thiel videos please
Great to see this vid get so many views and deserves many more likes.
Those (Like Henry Rowen) who decided that somehow China will become a Democracy (by 2015 :):)
are either feeling a bit daft or pleased their bs lasted another 25 years.
Personally, I feel it's the latter. I don't think they were that thick.
I don't remember seeing reports that China said anything like that would happen.
We thought this would happen and maybe that that too.. I don't think so.
It was a fifty year plan, since Nixon & Co.
Yes yes yes, thank you
thanks for the video
Thiel is absolutely of “The Machine”
TL:DR Sugestion. Place some Bookmarks to make it more appealing
Hi Hoover Institution- how come you guys drop new videos and youtube does not immediately alert me. I get junk notification, but your brilliant work?
Excellent discussion
We were promised flying cars, what we got were ultra cheap ultra safe flights from NY to LA that literally anyone could afford. We got open heart surgery on an out-patient basis. We got bigger, quieter, safer, cleaner homes. We got the internet, infinite information the ability to communicate with anyone anytime anywhere. Flying cars exist, they are called helicoptors, and the are very expensive to maintain because when you put something in the air, the oversight requirements go up 100x. And what is the advantage of being in the air?
Mr. Thiel, good thoughts. I'll make anything you wish to build, fast. look me up. Thank you for the reason and ideas.
Glad this power is used for good
Nice dialogue
Peter Thiel and Steven Pinker seem to be on opposite sides as to wether we are making progress. I get the feeling Thiel is starting from how he wants things to be and builds a philosophy from there.
America needs to be MORE than California.
If capitalism is an expression of free will and the ability to navigate between Armageddon and the Antichrist, then which systems of financial expression are going to lead one way or another? If all companies become public and are owned by one corporation you get one anticompetitive regime. If all companies are private and ownership is diverse you have the risk of a rogue innovator. That said, I know which one has more counterbalances.
Peter Thiel needs to educate the republican leadership
Peter is incredibly smart - an obvious statement. I really like him !
I love the analogy of the Republican party, the Star Wars rag tag group, you got Princess Leah, CHewbacca, Hans Solo, and C3PO's types, that are a rebel alliance, but are diverse.... love that and it's so true! Gonna steal that one.
decided:subscribed
He looks younger… again.
He is one of my favorite “thinkers” and has invested his money in Blake Masters in Arizona election. I guess this was taped before any of this happened.
Peter is an elite thinker
You need to talk with Perer Zeihan
He emerges
Peter is the man
Thiel is the closest thing to a real live vampire, don’t insult the rebels like that.
Can Peter Thiel save Germany from the people trying to destroy it?
What happened? The private sector became emperor - that’s what happened.
I feel Thiel
"Agenté provacuteur"
Who says we have to “beat” China or they’ll “beat” us ? The current and future success of everyone now depends on interdependent relationships that benefit all parties. My iPhone is designed here but made there; we need them to buy our T bonds and they need the US dollar, AND our economy which backs it, to stay viable.
Robinson’s whole premise here is obsolete and zero-sum thinking that can only end in failure given the globalized tech-empowered world we have NOW, which isn’t going away, no matter what your political attitude.
Advanced technologies are being withheld from the people.
This is reason.
The future of governance ideology is won by that which harnesses technology most astutely. Will the wanton use of technology of one country, Machiavellian in history, allow them to come to ascendancy but eventually become their downfall, at the expense of humanity?
By the time this airs we'll know the outcome in Arizona.....
Oh my sweet summer child....
Maybe China saw what was happening in the western Democracies and saw that against their national interest.

First.
We dont know the answer because of the way the voting is run in Arizona , the republicans were not in charge of correcting the voting irregularities
33:30 "True liberalism has never been tried"
In fact true liberalism has been tried and worked quite well. We stopped enforcing the law due to the advent of mass psychology (propaganda), which is now disintegrating as we face a larger world where information is radically more free and porous
23:44
Pete needs to go the Bezos route, get on TRT and start a space program
