Peter Thiel began his career as a libertarian idealist, championing free markets and techno-utopian escape from politics, but his trajectory has led him into the heart of reactionary power. From PayPal to Palantir, his vision has shifted from decentralization to a fusion of state and corporate control, aligning himself with the rising forces of the new right. In this episode, we examine his 2009 essay The Education of a Libertarian, tracing the contradictions in his ideology and the deeper implications of his political influence today. Joined by Dr. Gregory Sadler, we explore Thiel’s evolution, his role in shaping contemporary conservatism, and what his vision means for the future of democracy and governance.
