Top 8 CONTRARIAN views from Peter Thiel:

EVERYONE must read:

These views will blow your mind & make you think differently.

This first point is CRAZY: 👇

#peterthiel $PLTR #investing
0-to-1 refers to a new way of doing things. Creating something brand new.

Globalisation is an example of copying - China is the culmination of this.

Technology, however, is a new way of doing things.
Bubbles are a collapse of belief.

The DOTCOM bubble has left scars within the minds of investors and innovators.

After DOCOM, there has been irrational fear of the future.

People can be rational individually. However, in crowds – irrationality prevails.
In business, perfect competition is terrible.

Perfect competition leads to all profits being competed away.

In perfect competition there is a range of competitors selling undifferentiated products.

Perfect competition = the market decides the price, instead of the company.
Monopolies should not be bullies, monopolies should no be illegal, but monopolies should be companies in which provide a service or product that can not be replicated.

The product or service is so good that no other company can replicate.

That is the ideal monopoly.
In perfectly competitive markets, companies, there is no innovation, because these companies don’t make money.

Perfectly competitive companies are bad for the future.

Airlines = perfect competition

There is an incentive for monopolies to improve and innovation, or they fail.
Monopolies are a condition of every successful company.

All monopolies have:

- EOS
- 10X better TECH
- Network effects
- Branding
Looking at quarterly targets can results in one ignoring the fundamental features of the company.

The most vital question to ask: will the business in question be around in 10 years.
Within your own life, you must not diversify. Instead, you must specialise.

Diversification is a method of “spray-and-pray”. Diversification is a method of leaving the future to chance.

One must be deterministic about the future. One must take control of their life.

The Tesla Semi is going to start deliveries this year! 🚚

Let's take a look at how it will DISRUPT traditional trucking!🔋

1/x 🧶
Tesla semi will start shipping this year and it will have 500 miles of range. ⚡

This is after many delays, but Tesla is finally ready to start delivering it to customers. In Elon's Master Plan, Part 2, he made reference to building an electric semi.
The first customer of the Tesla semi is not known to the public yet. Some think it will be PepsiCo because they pl ace an order for 100 electric semi-trucks. 🥂

Cathie Wood has said that investing within innovation will yield a 200X return within public markets. 👇

But, WHY does she think this?

Is she CRAZY?

Well, not really. This might actually happen.

And, it is because of THIS: 👇

@ARKInvest #CathieWood #investing
@ARKInvest It is because of the theory of accelerated law of returns.

This posits that technology change is exponential. Within next 100 years, we will not experience 100 years of progress.

Instead, we will experience over 20K years of progress within the next 100 years (today’s rate).
@ARKInvest Put simply - technology is EXPONENTIAL, and grows at rates humans can not even understand.

Once again - in the next 100 years, there will be 20K+ years of progress.

Psychedelics are powerful psychoactive substances that alter perception, and mood and affect numerous cognitive processes. 🍄

They can be used to unlock the hidden potential of the human brain as well as treat certain mental issues. 🧠

Quantum computing is a type of computation whose operations can harness the phenomena of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, interference, and entanglement. ⚛️

That allows superior computing capabilities compared to current systems if solved at scale. 🖥️

German Court Overrules “Tesla Autopilot” Marketing BAN!

$TSLA is indeed allowed to use the term “Autopilot” on its website and in other marketing materials in Germany. This is a final ruling. 🔥

Could this decision cause a global allowance for the term “Autopilot”?

1/x 🧶
Reasons:
1) Autopilot, as used in the aircraft world, does not allow the pilots to just go to sleep or put on a movie and stop watching what is happening.

Elon Musk has a pilot license and used to fly a jet — he founded SpaceX — so he has real-world experience of the tech.
2) Nowhere does Tesla say that Autopilot can completely drive a person around or that drivers don’t need to pay attention.
