And so we see that summer we kind of made two decisions to drop out of school or, you know, as our mom used to prefer, we call it, to take a leave of absence.
Patrick CollisonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
39:43
And then secondly, we had to go raise some initial money from Sam Altman and Peter Thiel and Sequoia and a couple of others.
Lon HarrisHOST
39:51
Yeah, so I mean, this is...
Lon HarrisHOST

I'm writing these daily Substack tactical and practical posts.

Mark PincusGUEST
48:25
five years or so that break through so there is some proven better new that is working you know in those categories
Aakash GuptaHOST
48:34
I have you here in person so I have to ask you about kind of a story that you've pointed at a couple times in a couple different conversations that you've had with people, which is this Think Weekend that you had.
Aakash GuptaHOST
48:46
I believe there was Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel.
Aakash GuptaHOST
48:50
These are like names that are legends.
Justin KleinHOST
35:36
But I think it depends on what government you're talking about.
Justin KleinHOST
35:39
So this is a company founded by Peter Thiel.
Justin KleinHOST
35:43
He has strong connections to this White House, especially J.D. Vance.
Justin KleinHOST
35:46
And will J.D. Vance be the next presidential nominee for the Republicans? Will he win in twenty twenty eight? All of those are big questions.
Coach ColinHOST
54:29
So she says, and you only looking into this because of the Peter reptile thing is confirmation bias, but you do you.
Coach ColinHOST
54:39
So basically she's asking about the whole Peter Thiel thing, like were you told not to name names? And she's saying the fact that you're focusing on that is confirmation bias.
Coach ColinHOST
54:47
Then Candace says, how is that confirmation bias? I think Peter the reptile is very bad.
Coach ColinHOST
54:51
His obsession with the Antichrist unnerves me.

And during the episode, you kind of tell when it came to naming investors and plot cameras, Leah made it pretty obvious.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
99:13
She was told she couldn't name names.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
99:14
So instead of saying Mark Andreessen and Peter Thiel, she just said two investors that are heavily involved in Israeli surveillance companies.
LeahSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
99:21
Okay, so Flock was founded by three Georgia Tech students who they were like, the license plate is the thing that helps you find the bad guys.
JesseHOST
20:29
I should have just cut it.
JesseHOST
20:30
So in case I haven't mentioned the petrodollar, okay, then let me just say now, if you don't know what the petrodollar is, you're not an economist of any kind and you can't do any economic research because how would you know how to interpret anything if you don't even know what the fucking petrodollar is? Also, I don't think that it makes any sense, the story about her saying that he said you can't mention Peter Thiel or the investment firm.
JesseHOST
20:50
Everybody knows about all that stuff that doesn't even make any sense.
JesseHOST
20:54
Um, But again, I also think that that Glacier app sounds very shady and very, very like intelligence trappy.

If you say, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, DOD, then that means you're in the DOD, but different than the person who says they're in the DOD, and...
JesseHOST
28:33
This one's bad.
JesseHOST
28:34
This one's a hero because Peter Thiel is bad.
JesseHOST
28:39
I mean, I don't get it.
Jim HauckHOST
47:25
If you're looking for a book to read right now and you want to understand something that's going on that's maybe the subtext to all this, read The Nerd Reich.
Jim HauckHOST
47:32
It talks about Peter Thiel.
Jim HauckHOST
47:33
It talks about all these folks.
Jim HauckHOST
47:34
J.D. Vance is in there.

Signal Cleveland reported a crowd of thousands.
Jack WindsorHOST
1:20
Brown spoke for 20 minutes and he named Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump as three corrupt billionaires backing Senator John Husted.
Jack WindsorHOST
1:31
I didn't hear him mention Reid Hoffman, though, the billionaire who backs Democrats everywhere.
Jack WindsorHOST
1:37
And the crowd chanted, lock him up, referencing President Donald Trump.
James CarnerGUEST
57:25
sorry to go back, but it's their idea behind Gothic materialism.
UrbanHOST
57:30
Peter Thiel's whole Christianity thing that he goes around teaching about Christianity.
UrbanHOST
57:34
But if you notice, it's like everything that you have understood Christianity to be, it's like he got the opposite answer.
UrbanHOST
57:41
It's like everything that you would say, it's like completely opposite.
