"There's absolutely no bubble in technology." — Peter Thiel

Spiraling demand for resources of which our world contains a finite supply is the great long-term threat posed by globalisation. That is why we need new technology to relieve it.

Credentials are critical if you want to do something professional. If you want to become a doctor or lawyer or teacher or professor, there is a credentialing process. But there are a lot of other things where it's not clear they're that important.

I believe that evolution is a true account of nature, but I think we should try to escape it or transcend it in our society.
