Thiel was so bang-on it's incredible, really. You might want to send a link to Jordan Peterson and Johnathan Haidt - the content of this video is supremely relevant to both.
He must be a genius to have seen the situation in 1996 so clearly that he could predict how things would lie 20 years hence. Of course liberals are so blinded by their moral posturing they still can't grasp this. Too educated to be smart, I guess. :-
“You ask me what makes Rockefeller the unquestioned leader in our group? Well, it is simple. In business we all try to look ahead as far as possible. Some of us think we are pretty able. But Rockefeller always sees a little further ahead than any of us-and then he sees around the comer.” - John Archbold, later a president of Standard Oil. The above quote could also be used to describe Peter Thiel.
The reason Western Civilization has higher levels of racism than other civilization is because western civilization HAS been inclusive of other cultures and races. If you go to eastern civilization you will see 99% Asian people and maybe 1% non Asian. Also, middle eastern cultures remain 99% Arabic. Why? Because they ARE racist and believe that their culture IS superior and see no need to include other cultures in their culture. Western civilization has on the other hand openly allowed other cultures into its culture with only a few caveats... Rome for instance allowed all people into its realm and allowed them all to practice their religions, as long as they paid their taxes and obeyed the laws. All of western civilization has been this way. Now suddenly these other cultures are pissed because they are not the DOMINATE culture. That is when the cries of RACISM rise up. I wouldn't go to Saudi Arabia and demand that they recognize my culture as equal or greater than theirs... mainly because it would get me arrested and possibly executed.
This is incredibly prophetic just as Enoch Powell's "Rivers of blood" speech was. Jean Raspails 1973 novel, "The Camp of the Saints" was also incredibly prophetic. There are quite a few examples of prophetic words of what the Western world was heading toward. They were all told they were racist, bigoted fear mongerers and their predictions would "never happen", nor would they continue to have successful careers thanks to the ignorance of PC culture and the virtue signaling Left. The thing is it did all happen and the only thing these "prophets" got wrong was scale. Because the problem is far worse than even the worst predictions could have ever been and in Europe it is beyond repair. The multicultural experiment will end badly and this is NOT because the people of Europe and the U.S. aren't tolerant. In fact we have been too tolerant and as a result we are allowing the most intolerant ppl in the world overtake our society and water down our culture. We MUST fight back!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! I suggest everyone read Douglas Murray's new book, "The Strange Death of Europe". It will shine a light on why we are forced to fight for Western culture.
However, even the people you mentioned were right in diagnosing the Western situation, but it DOESN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN. This is important to understand. It matters what we do now. Instead of promoting self-fulfilling prophecies, we need to find a reason to exist and go for it.
robert hill Students have to revolt, hard. Millennials failed to do this. There is a lot of help from the outside. Alumni and donors have been pulling funds, states are finally talking about defunding colleges, parents/students finally have the ear of the government and tax payers are refusing to put up with it.
i dream to troll in the verdant fields of a free kekistan. to farm my dank memes in peace. to fap upon my lands in victory of the great meme jihad. gass the normies! praise kek! shadilay, my dudes.

Yes,, that too. The far left control Politics, Academia and the Media by a large percentage, and the majority of them are corrupt as fuck....it's sick ! How have conservatives and genuine liberals allowed this to happen ?
It is important in terms of outcome. Ships in former days orientated themselves according to the North Star. If there were multiple North Stars, they would have become lost. Truth is important in terms of direction of flow and orientation. If you had arranged To meet a friend outside the shoe shop on the high street, and when you arrived there were ten shoe shops, you would have a problem. Truth is about identifying a singularity by which we can all measure reality and a coordinate through which we all intersect. In terms of the intellect, it is a construct, but of course, the world beyond mind is natures singularity, or Gods will. Either way, without either we are plunged into chaos. So yes, truth is important, even if you don't know it.
I learned long ago that most people are impervious to facts and reason. If western civilization is going to survive it will not be by convincing its enemies to change their minds. It will be by will and force.
@@Zomfoo I think it is important to recognise that whatever comes after will be the continuation of Western civilisation regardless of the form it takes. Will it take the exact form you want it to? probably not. Will it take the exact shape of those (termed by some commentators here as) the far or hard left? probably not either... It will take a form though and it will continue to develop and debate. Or else it will stagnate like Sparta. Nevertheless something will take it's place and claim the antecedence of the West. Our discourse now is that very survival. Let's continue to have discussions, debates, and disagreement; let them be heated, let them be impassioned and let them show the capacity of the human intellect and spirit for development. Let them too, please, be civil, let us talk to our adversaries with respect, let us agree to disagree, but please let us not talk of a need for force. For whatever form the synergism of the dialectic takes, when it is formed and appears congealed, then it will be time for new ideas to clash with this order and for the relationship to begin afresh. Peter Thiel makes a wonderful point about the paradox of multiculturalism being that its adherents espouse multiple cultures but are, ultimately, all thinking the same - I don't think resorting to force so that we can describe people thinking the same under a different banner is any better. In good faith.
Morgenstund It's hard to get several in younger generations to understand this. Many Millennials think they are talking about something brand new that no one else knows about and can not understand because they have not had classes on it. Nothing about the current state of universities or SoJus programs is new. We heard it in the 1970s and late 80s - early/mid 90s. The majority of Gen X students revolted, they took horrible/rights violating policies to court, and shut down enthusiastic/affirmative consent policies after it was implemented at one college. There were several public debates on the problems, several court cases, and a second chance was given to sort out the issues. Things calmed down a lot from the early/mid 1990s - 2001, and then it slowly started back up again. Radical Professors (2nd wave. What we are seeing today is an enforced continuation of second wave radical positions. The 3rd wave initially rejected them) were given more positions and they dug in deeper. They reimplemented policies ruled against in court, added to them, and added several more questionable policies that violate students rights on top of that.
At age 59, I can assure you many people recognized this for what it was at the time. Cultural marxism began it's long march through academia back in the 50-60s. It seems to look like a sine wave with peaks every twenty years or so. What we are observing now is the confluence of all thes "Studies Departments" created back in the late 90s into "intersectionallity". Defund and de-certify these departments and the wave would recede. Take away the funding and prestige and they'll collapse. They need to be cut out or irradiated as the tumors in the academic body they are.
Polly's Shore It all started in the "Frankfurt School " back in the late 20, early 30s. The Great Depression and Roosevelt's interest in possible socialist solutions brought them into government in policy making positions. It's been off to the races ever since.
" A culture of complaint leads to a culture of blame ", wow , now that should be in a Presidential speech . A culture of shame leads to a culture of victims .
Mike Carrington - many of us saw what was coming the problem is society is like the aircraft industry, until there is a catastrophic failure no effort is invested in averting the catastrophe
"Wow, this man really saw what was coming!" I hope so, it was his job....right? So it makes you wonder, why dont these politicians get elected... The ones who actually make sense, can predict, and plan for said event
"the multicultural educator at Stanford University liked to go around, saying: 'I started looking for racism everywhere and I started finding racism everywhere.'" -- 4:01 I would like to point out, that Anita Sarkeesian stated the same thing in an interview. This supports the perception that these people get totally lost in their own worlds. Focusing on something that intensely that they stop to see anything else.
13sharkbait But we have diversity, in thought, they are trying to create some warped unity through persecution.... (The far left) ..and the truth is still the truth, they just think feelings are more important... How to tell people you are a liberal but leaning more and more right everyday... Classical liberal? Real liberal? Not insane XD
You're Right or maybe since I'm a Liberal I should say You're Left. That's what I thought when I saw that episode on TNG. The scene with Picard was really Plagerized from the scene when Winston Smith is being tortured by O'Brien. think Babylon 5 had a similliar scene or Episode. I
All cultures are multi cultural. Deal with it Bigot baby! Your the sheeple and all the clones here too. *Safe space' my ass.Thats exactly what you want and you are more like the SJWs than the SJWsäthey whine less that you lot do. White genocide my ass. It is we who are doing the killing, I served for 9 years, WTF do you know you keyboard POS warrior
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to see this video by Peter Thiel to have a better understanding of what the word diversity really means. And how diversity is not always the answer to solving world's problems. I do not need to hear from Justin Trudeau's mouth again " diversity is our strength " because no it ain't
Former assistant drama teacher and part time ski instructor Justin Trudeau is not susceptible to logic or persuasion. Like rest of the left, he's a believer in an ideology.
Wow, prophetic was an understatement! Why did I not see this guy in the 90’s? Or did I and I just don’t remember. He is 100% on point. I can’t believe this is 1996!
It's pretty obvious that Western Culture is now in free downfall. What makes things more staggering: we can't even stop that change. This process of cultural decline is innate and based on former success. So success is seed of coming collapse.
What a brilliant man. He is very well thought through and clear in his description of the issues. I guess that's what you'd expect from a successful self-made billionaire!
"Multiculturalism has nothing to do with the study of other cultures." Yeah because otherwise you'd be culturally appropriating from others. Dead on there
Has this really been going on for so long in America? Its been happening so quickly in Ireland.. we got a few american students/lecturers and suddenly our culture and social issues were mostly swept under the carpet and colleges are speaking about american problems now?
I was a child playing ps games and happily unaware of how bad the world actually was. It was first when 2000 hit that I got aware of this shit and that the world is not a paradise.
Just look at the birth rate between cultures, or even religions, you will see that there will be no multiculturalism in about 50 years, there will be one culture, one religion
Historical fact: The Prophet Theil was Kek's earliest known Messenger and was sent to Kekistan to confirm the essential teachings of wokeness and to lead the fight against the Normie oppression.
Twenty Fracking Years Of My [Mickey Mouse] Generation. I am not surprised. Why? I was President of my college peace movement in 1967, was withdrawn from school by my parents, then drafted and spent twelve months ducking rockets five miles West of Pleiku towards the Cambodian/Laotian border. Anyway, back on the home front my draft deferred peers, having never grown up, gave us all this crap for decades. They almost won. Trump and Jordan Petersen may have saved Western Civilization by themselves. My baby boom generation deserves to go down in history as one of the most malevolent, narcissistic, nihilist abominations in all of planetary history.
Really like Thiel's take on diversity, multiculturalism, etc ... It's ridiculous that so many people want to impose "diversity" on college campuses. The reality is very nearly the opposite: college is all about conformity, and that is a good thing. Good professors must insist that their students conform to proven standards of reason, objectivity and discipline, regardless of the students' cultural or ethnic background.
Thanks for posting this!👍 WE should've seen this coming all those years ago. So, professors are pushing "Gender Studies" as a requirement and black American students experienced discrimination in Egypt (Africa)?! Hmm...
And this is why, folks, that being called a "conspiracy theorist" is the losing-sides go-to none argument. Using the human brain to do what its best ability is (see patterns, determine possible outcomes, chose a better path), is not our fault if they reject to use theirs to do the same and can't see the seemingly inevitable problems with what they preach.
The future doesn't look too bright to me. Right before our eyes we are watching extreme Liberal ideology lead to the Islamification of half of Europe. Already 20 cities that are 25% Muslim. Look what happened to Lebanon; look what happened to Iran (highest number of female med students in 1975, now beekeepers). People don't see it because they are frogs in boiling water. Watch Children of Men, and be amazed that only 10 years later the UK looks like that.
Excess adversarial behavior is definitely a problem. Humanity is still as dumb as it has ever been and as unable to understand each other. Also, one of the issues is likely the emotional mindset. The environment that spawned movements like feminism have changed but not the emotions propagated by self sustaining organizations that still need to drum up money and keep themselves alive. We also have a problem with colleges that they exist outside of reality and you can have endless blather there that has nothing to do with the real world that most of these people (including professors who stayed in academia their entire lives) have never experienced.
The discourse surrounding racism does not set out to determine that racism causes inequality but to obfuscate all other causes but racism and all other racists but white racists.
It is about destroying the west, which they have now done. Now they will be destroyed due their privileges protecting them from their policies while their enemies have survived through them and have become stronger.
Wow thanks for posting this mate. It's interesting to know that these issues have been discussed seriously for this long and depressing to realise how little progress has been made in resuming a sane discussion on the matters. In fact things have gotten so much worse :-(
Has anyone read his book? Is it worth reading? How about dangerous? is it any good? Wish I could see them in physical form to read a few pages before I buy -____- Im def not a conservative, I am disabled and rely on certain programs to live. Although I do wish the programs encouraged people to work instead of punishing and discouraging people to work. But free speech and liberal ideas are very important to me. The whole "illl defend to the death your right to say something, even if I disagree" That is so important and I hate how people are all "im against hate speech" And people know nothing about the USSR and Communist govs of the last century. Idk why they teach so much about the nazis, but ignore the opposite side of the extreme spectrum. both are so important to know about.
Clooz No, but I've read his book on entrepreneurship, 'Zero to One'. His writing is extremely interesting, I'd expect any of his works to be great. Planning on picking up 'The Diversity Myth' soon.
Without the internet boom this would have become obvious to everyone by the early 2000s at the latest(which is when I understood it even as a 4th grader at the time). Compare the rate of progress for technology and science in the 1920s to the 1950s to what we got by the 1990s; the 1950s to the 1990s is basically nothing compared to the immense progress we had from the 20s to the 50s. Western society’s progress was completely stopped in the 70s and now we starting to go backwards. Science is starting to be outlawed.
This content is enlightening; akin to a book that enlightened its readers with similar ideas. "Rising From Within: Unlocking Your Innate Power to Conquer Adversity" by Vincent Starling
