Peter Thiel's Mental Framework

Peter Thiel is an investor who founded PayPal, a believer in Libertarian ideals, a philosopher who found faith in Jesus, a gay Republican & best-selling author.

  • He is deeply influenced by Rene Girard, a French historian who postulated that we tend to carry our lives by imitating each other, which leads to inescapable outbursts of violence (aka Mimetic conflict). 
  • As a solution, Thiel turns to the Christian value of hope. In his reading of history, the non-violence of Jesus is the antidote to Mimetic conflict.
