Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

by Peter Thiel

“What important truth do very few people agree with you on?”

I've heard Peter is famous for his contrarian thinking, and this is the quintessential question to suss out that kind of thinking. Remarkably hard to answer though! Some of mine: 1. Baseball stadiums in the US should all be converted to soccer - it’s the worlds sport. 2. People my age (in their 40's) will probably naturally live until their mid 100's. 3. We need less information not more. Most of us are consuming as much information as we can online, and it doesn't lead to what matters in life, nor does it lead to doing deep work, which is fulfilling. 4. Technology and AI and biotech will enable humanity to enter a renaissance in the coming decades.
