Consensus....Peter Thiel

[Mike Cautillo]

"The fundamental philosophical question is one that is important for all of us. It's always this question, what do people agree merely by convention and what is the truth? This is always the fundamental distinction in a society, there's a consensus of things that people believe to be to true & maybe the conventions are right & maybe they're not. We never want to let convention be a shortcut for truth. We always need to ask, is this true?" Peter Thiel #BTC.

Heard this via a Tim Ferris podcast and found it fitting considering the current challenges. I know for some, you may think it's obvious or redundant, although I know for myself, a friendly reminder is all it takes from time to time. Rational thinking escapes us all, especially when needed most! Peter is actually questioned about BTC, although it is from late 2014. Link below....
