Peter Thiel almost certainly didn’t invent this. The idea that our decisions are heavily influenced by those around us is one of those things that’s been well-established in the relevant scientific communities for some time but has a hard time breaking into the popular consciousness because we don’t want it to be true.
- sedeki 5y agoPeter Thiel has mentioned the works and ideas of philosopher René Girard repeatedly. I think that's what he's referring to.
- gtirloni 5y agoHe said Peter "popularized" it, not invented.
- alphabettsy 5y agoHe didn’t popularize it either.
- davidivadavid 5y agoHe popularized it in tech circles where people all read from the same basket of 5 pop science books.
