Peter Thiel Quotes
Our Schools Teach The Opposite: Institutionalized Education Traffics In A Kind Of Homogenized, Generic Knowledge. Everybody Who Passes Through The American School System Learns Not To Think In Power Law Terms. Every High School Course Period Lasts 45 Minutes Whatever The Subject. Every Student Proceeds At A Similar Pace. At College, Model Students Obsessively Hedge Their Futures By Assembling A Suite Of Exotic And Minor Skills. Every University Believes In "excellence," And Hundred-page Course Catalogs Arranged Alphabetically According To Arbitrary Departments Of Knowledge Seem Designed To Reassure You That "it Doesn't Matter What You Do, As Long As You Do It Well." That Is Completely False. It Does Matter What You Do. You Should Focus Relentlessly On Something You're Good At Doing, But Before That You Must Think Hard About Whether It Will Be Valuable In The Future.
