1/ @peterthiel is such a madman.
In Tools of Titans by @tferriss, most guests listed multiple recommended books and they were all common and easy to read.
Not Thiel. He recommended only "Things Hidden Since the Foundation of The World" by René Girard.

It's not about worshipping him, about understanding human behavior, both Thiel's rationale and the origin of culture. But you're right, most people will probably miss the point. Thiel is a very smart guy, but you shouldn't blindly assume he's right.

This is actually a very important point to bring up. No hedge fund should be losing 90%. He didn't hedge properly. Not surprising, since it takes nearly opposite traits to be a good entrepreneur vs a good investor.

He actually was a derivatives trader with Credit Suisse before becoming an entrepreneur so it is interesting that Clarium took that hit. He has other funds tho.

Really it’s not uncommon for a hedge fund to go 90/10 on a position I don’t think. Soros definitely does it...
