It's a bit of a generic laundry list. The most interesting bit to me (if I hadn't heard nice things via friends-of-friends!) would be the bit about history and anthropology, juxtaposed with the tech. But there's nothing unique in the bio.

(I will also say: personally, at least, I enjoy it when people put their spouse in their bio. Again, it's an individualizing thing. One of the joys of social media, for me, is getting to know some of my friends' family at least a tiny bit.)
(Over)thinking more about this. Within 5 miles of where I'm sitting there's probably 100,000 people who'd like to work with Thiel on VC. But almost no-one who'd incorporate "The secure transport of life" into their presentation of self. So the latter is more informative, to me.

Oh, sure, but the set of people who *have worked with him* is smaller. I was riffing off of some of the other comments: it’s not about engagement, it’s about validation. I’ve had people tell me the number one reason they took me seriously is because Thiel picked me to work with.

If your main interest is what selection filters people have passed, this is good. But if it's what unusual desires they have, it's useless. I'm much more interested in the second. But other people are, of course, very different in their taste.
