Peter Thiel On The Diversity Myth - 30 Years Later | Pirate Wires Podcast #24 🏴‍☠️

Pirate Wires

EPISODE #24: This week, the Pirate Wires staff is off for the Thanksgiving holiday. But fear not! We're re-releasing a special interview that Mike Solana recently recorded with Peter Thiel, in case you missed it. This is a must watch for the Pirate Nation. We'll be back to your regularly scheduled, clown world induced, programing next week.

Nearly 30 years after publishing "The Diversity Myth," Peter Thiel sits down with Mike Solana to unpack what the book got right and wrong. Thiel argues that social distractions have stunted scientific progress, slowed economic growth and weakened our geopolitical standing. How did anti-Western rhetoric popularized on college campuses in the 90s morph into the culture wars that divide our country today? How can we move past this pessimistic, hyper-political moment and continue building the future? Featuring Mike Solana & Peter Thiel Subscribe to Pirate Wires:
