Peter Thiel on Political Theology
Conversations with Tyler
Unity Through Common Adversity
Commonality among diverse individuals, such as a millionaire, a general, and a priest, often stems from shared beliefs, particularly in opposition to a common enemy, like communism.

The end of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the disintegration of this coalition, raising questions about the nature of politics—whether it functions as a market, can improve with understanding, or operates as a scapegoating mechanism that obscures deeper societal conflicts. This reflects the complexities of political dynamics and human alliances based on shared fears or adversities.
