“We have this ideological understanding of conflict, where we say it happens when people want different things. But I think it actually happens when people want the same thing — the same promotion, recognition for doing the same job well, the same toy as a kid.”— Peter Thiel, washingtonpost.comTagged: Ideology, Conflict, Resource Competition
“I do not think we live in a scientific and technological age, as a society. I think most people do not like science and technology. They’re scared of it. All you have to do is watch science-fiction movies — they all show technology that doesn’t work, or they’re dystopian.”— Peter Thiel, washingtonpost.comTagged: scientific, Technological, Science Fiction, Dystopian
“Innovation is a very strange thing in general, because it’s so hard to know what to learn about it or how to study it. Every moment in the history of business, in the history of technology, happens only once. And so there’s no formula.”— Peter Thiel, washingtonpost.comTagged: Innovation, Technology, History, Formula, Business
