Peter Thiel on Political Theology

Conversations with Tyler

ADVICE

Avoid Scapegoating

  • Be wary of blaming God or others for everything.
  • This anthropological argument cautions against ascribing all wrongdoings to an external force like "Mr. God".
  • Thiel suggests that such scapegoating hinders our ability to understand and interpret the world.
  • He emphasizes the importance of striving to make sense of the world through reason and intellect rather than resorting to blame or attributing everything to divine will or depravity.
  • He draws a contrast with Calvinism, where human depravity is central, and with modern rationalist movements.
