Peter Thiel: Quasi-unionized government racket, and one can be suspect of them being praised to the high heavens in quite the way they were in the last few years. Peter Thiel: Well, I'm not sure there's something, I'm not sure I'm massively opposed to the ticker-tape parade for healthcare professionals, although it is kind of a. All right, from a ticker-tape parade for an individual, such as Charles Lindbergh, to ticker-tape parades for healthcare professionals. The most recent parade, which took place this past summer, and I'm quoting from the official website, was for "Healthcare professionals and essential workers." 20th-century honorees, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, General of the Army Dwight Eisenhower, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins. In the 21st century, New York has thrown parades for groups. I thought that must be mistaken, so I looked it up, and you were exactly right. Quote, "We haven't had a single ticker-tape parade in New York City for an individual in the 21st century." Close quote. Peter Robinson: From your remarks to the Atlas Society this past November. This past autumn, he co-taught a course here at Stanford entitled "Between Stagnation and Progress." Peter, welcome back. He has also become a public intellectual, speaking often about the United States and the world. Since then, Peter has invested in companies such as LinkedIn, Palantir, and SpaceX. After joining one of the most prestigious law firms in New York City, he decided not to practice law, returning to California where he co-founded PayPal, and made the first outside investment in Facebook. Peter Thiel graduated from Stanford, then from Stanford Law School. Welcome to "Uncommon Knowledge." I'm Peter Robinson.
The man who makes that argument, Peter Thiel, on "Uncommon Knowledge" now. Peter Robinson: If you want proof that something has gone wrong in America, look at ticker-tape parades.
