Peter Thiel: A First-Principled Thinker
Peter Thiel stirs up mixed emotions from people. But he's one of the best first-principled thinkers on topics like technology and business.
- He has the unique ability to completely shut out conventional wisdom and thinking (a bit like Elon Musk).
- He can think about problems from the ground up piece by piece.
- Not relying on a bunch of assumptions he can't validate first hand.
The Importance of First-Principled Thinking
First-principled thinking feels like one of the most common traits among successful people.
- The concept is easy to understand.
- But very hard to consistently do in practice.
I think it's one of the most important muscle memories we can train ourselves to learn as a founder.
