Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel offers a contrarian view on mastery: the best founders aren't specialists, they're polymaths who understand how everything connects.
After 14 years on the Facebook board, Thiel has watched Mark Zuckerberg up close.
And he's noticed something that cuts against conventional wisdom about what it takes to build something great.
"I think that one kind of perspective for a lot of the world-class entrepreneurs is they're not specialists. They're something close to polymaths."
Thiel uses Zuckerberg as his prime example:
"If you have a conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, he'd be able to speak with a surprising amount of understanding about a lot of things. He could talk about the details of the Facebook product, the psychology of social media, the way the culture is shifting, the management of the company, and how this fits into the bigger history of technology."
This stands in stark contrast to how academia frames expertise:
"Whereas the sort of academic view is often that you're like a narrow expert on one thing and that's what you do and what it is about. It's much more this polymath-like intellect who understands all these different things."
@peterthiel reflects on what this has looked like at the board level:
"The kinds of board conversations we've had over the last 13, 14 years, it's just been this crazy range."
The takeaway: world-class founders don't just go deep in one area. They think across product, psychology, culture, management, and technology history, and they see how it all connects.
Elon Musk: "One couple I met, their final straw for leaving San Francisco, was they came home one night, and there was a dead body in front of their garage."https://t.co/gqfalCfj0V
"They called 911 and said, there's a dead body outside our house. The 911 San Francisco says, are you in danger right now? Well, no, he's dead… And they're like, okay, we'll send someone tomorrow to pick up the body."
@BillAckman When people that work in the city cant afford to live in the city, thats a slave setup and its shameful. You are too involved to see a different perspective. New York Elite is too greedy, the stock market manipulation is too greedy. It needs to be controlled.

"Charlie had no filter."

🚨 BREAKING: Governor DeSantis is calling for the IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT of Judge Tiffany Baker.
Judge Baker released a child rapist who was a KNOWN danger to society.
While out on bail, the rapist tortured and killed a 5 year old little girl.
Should she be impeached?
🚨 JIANG: “I’ve been in China for 25 years and I can tell you that there is almost no interest for a democracy in China. For a democracy to exist in China you would need to have people who respected human rights, individual liberty, who had empathy, and who believed in the rule of law.
The reality is that in China the system is set up so that the ultimate objective is to become a bureaucrat. That’s what all Chinese people aspire to. The higher you climb the bureaucracy the better. Traditionally China has been an empire and in order to survive in an empire you become a civil servant.
That’s why Chinese work so hard in school. So they can pass the civil servant examination to become a bureaucrat so they can provide guarantees and protection to their family.”
@anthonynoto@SpaceX@SoFi Here's my take. The larger banks manipulate markets (allegedly), and they will keep pushing your stock down for a while and then pump it back up. If you have no control over that, than why would you be a good candidate to manage the IPO of Space X.
