I've got very different politics to Peter Thiel, but I've long been interested in why he thinks what he thinks. I think he's the most honest and interesting billionaire around.
The place to go seems to be Girard's Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World, but I'll need to take a holiday on a beach somewhere to have the headspace to get through its ~500 pages.
