Interview with Peter Thiel by Wired UK at Oxford in 2014 Only the first paragraph addresses the topic "In its mildest forms, yes. And I think it is an indictment of our society that the people who are most socially adept end up having so little conviction about their ideas. Since they are so good at picking up on social cues, they quickly internalize any rejection they get and move on to the next thing. If you go to a place like Harvard Business School, where arguably the people are bright and socially savvy, there is so much groupthink. In 1989 they all wanted to work for Michael Milken. In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s it was dot com companies. And most other times it is either banking or consulting." It's not even clear to me if he means there's a positive or a negative correlation. If I could go back in time and not read this article I definitely would.
