_ Thiel Fellowship - Further information: Thiel Fellowship

The Thiel Fellowship (originally named 20 under 20) is intended for young visionaries under the age of 20 and offers them a total of $100,000 over two years as well as guidance and other resources to drop out of school and pursue other work, which could involve scientific research, creating a startup, or working on a social movement.


_ Singularity

Thiel believes in the importance and desirability of a technological singularity.
[P. Thiel al Singularity Summit 2011 - Video]

In February 2006, Thiel provided $100,000 of matching funds to back the Singularity Challenge donation drive of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (then known as the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence). Additionally, he joined the Institute's advisory board and participated in the May 2006 Singularity Summit at Stanford as well as at the 2011 Summit held in New York City.

In May 2007, Thiel provided half of the $400,000 matching funds for the annual Singularity Challenge donation drive.

In December 2015 it was announced that Thiel is one of the financial backers of OpenAI, a non-profit company aimed at the safe development of artificial general intelligence.


_ Life extension

When asked ”What is the biggest achievement that you haven’t achieved yet?” by the moderator of a discussion panel at the Venture Alpha West 2014 conference, Thiel replied, “Certainly, the area that I’m very passionate about is trying to do something to really get some progress on the anti-aging and longevity front,” describing it as ”a massively under-studied, under-invested phenomena [sic].”[56]

In September 2006, Thiel announced that he would donate $3.5 million to foster anti-aging research through the Methuselah Mouse Prize foundation.[57] He gave the following reasons for his pledge: "Rapid advances in biological science foretell of a treasure trove of discoveries this century, including dramatically improved health and longevity for all. I’m backing Dr. [Aubrey] de Grey, because I believe that his revolutionary approach to aging research will accelerate this process, allowing many people alive today to enjoy radically longer and healthier lives for themselves and their loved ones."

The Thiel Foundation supports the research of the SENS Research Foundation, headed by Dr. de Grey, that is working to achieve the reversal of biological aging. The Thiel Foundation also supports the work of anti-aging researcher Cynthia Kenyon.

Thiel said that he registered to be cryonically preserved, meaning that he would be subject to low-temperature preservation in case of his legal death in hopes that he might be successfully revived by future medical technology.[13]


_ Imitatio

Imitiatio is a project funded by the Thiel Foundation that aims to understand the world through the lens of Rene Girard's mimetic theory.[9]


_ Breakout Labs [Further information: Breakout Labs]

Breakout Labs is a grant-making body operating as part of the Thiel Foundation (a philanthropic organization created by Peter Thiel). Breakout Labs gives grants for early-stage scientific research that is too speculative or long-term to interest the for-profit sector (such as angel investors and venture capitalists) but may be unsuitable for traditional sources of funding for scientific research due to its radical or offbeat nature.[10] Grants are made through a competitive application and selection process.[11]Breakout Labs announced its first batch of grantees on April 17, 2012,[12] and its second batch of grantees on August 15, 2012.[13]

_ Seasteading

On April 15, 2008, Thiel pledged $500,000 to the new Seasteading Institute, directed by Patri Friedman, whose mission is "to establish permanent, autonomous ocean communities to enable experimentation and innovation with diverse social, political, and legal systems".[58] This was followed in February 2010 by a subsequent grant of $250,000, and an additional $100,000 in matching funds.[59]
In a talk at the Seasteading Institute conference in November 2009, Thiel explained why he believed that seasteading was necessary for the future of humanity.[60]
In 2011, Thiel was reported as having given a total of $1.25 million to the Seasteading Institute




Adesso Peter Thiel vuole costruire una nazione indipendente e galleggiante per "liberare l'umanità dai politici" , - cosa interessante per uno che ha accesso alla Casa Bianca e al presidente USA e sostanzialmente gestisce la società che gestisce servizi segreti, dipartimenti di giustizia, dipartimenti di polizia, dipartimenti di difesa . La prima città fluttuante sorgerà entro il 2020 nell'Oceano Pacifico.


Domanda: ma chi è che ha bisogno di liberarsi dei politici? Non i comuni cittadini che hanno piuttosto bisogno che i politici facciano il loro lavoro e che non abusino della loro posizione; ossia abbiamo bisogno di liberarci di questi politici.

Potrebbe averne bisogno chi gestisce e controlla il più grande centro di data mining spy everything segreto del mondo, Palantir, insieme all'altro, quello non segreto, facebook? alias Palantir?


nota:
Questa cosa delle isole artificiali lontane da qui noiosissimi controlli pubblici sono avedentemente utili a molte cose: tipo creare e testare nuovi vaccini senza controlli.


Peter Thiel backs offshore human testing of experimental herpes vaccine

Peter Thiel and a group of libertarians are funding an offshore human clinical trial of a herpes vaccine, skirting FDA regulations and sparking a heated debate over U.S. safety rules. The tech billionaire and Trump advisor has reportedly poured $7 million into the experimental trial being held on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts without any oversight from the FDA or monitoring from a safety panel known as an institutional review board (IRB).


1. Peter Thiel Is a Co-Founder of PayPal

If you conduct transactions on the Internet, you will likely have heard of Paypal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: PYPL), the popular online payment system. Peter Thiel co-founded this company with Max Levchin, Luke Nosek, and Ken Howery back in 1998. At first, it was a security software company named Confinity. The actual transaction service was later developed and launched in 1999. Eventually, Confinity merged with Elon Musk’s online banking company, X.com, in 2000 to create Paypal. Two years late, Paypal went public.

2. Peter Thiel Is the First Outside Investor of Facebook

Peter Thiel did not walk away from the tech world after cashing out on his Paypal stake, though. Next, he invested in something much bigger.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) now commands more than $300 billion in market cap, but 12 years ago, it was just a startup—albeit one with great potential. At that time (in 2004), Peter Thiel made a $500,000 angel investment in the social network for a 10.2% stake. When Facebook stock went public, Peter Thiel sold some of his shares in the company for a whopping $640 million. (Source: “Facebook’s First Big Investor, Peter Thiel, Cashes Out,” CNN, August 20, 2012.)

3. Peter Thiel Also Invested in Airbnb, Spotify, and Lyft

After seeing such enormous success with Paypal and Facebook, Peter Thiel was not done yet. The billionaire investor also made early bets on Spotify, Airbnb, SpaceX, Lyft, and Palantir Technologies. (Source: “The Strange Politics of Peter Thiel, Trump’s Most Unlikely Supporter,” Bloomberg, July 21, 2016.)

Thiel will score a tidy sum for himself, but he won't take home the full $395 million. Some of it will go to investors in the funds through which he bought the shares.

Facebook is Thiel's second big Silicon Valley windfall. He made his first, smaller fortune from PayPal, where he served as CEO until eBay acquired the firm in 2002. He has gone on to become an active investor in and adviser to scores of other startups.

Other funds also distributed Facebook shares last week to their investors.

In a sign of just how interconnected Silicon Valley is, some of those shares went to Netflix (NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings, a Facebook board member who recently spent $1 million buying Facebook shares on the open market.

Hastings is also an investor in Accel Partners. When Accel distributed shares, Hastings picked up almost 22,000 more shares -- valued at around $435,000 -- to add to his stash.



Chi si adopera oggi a orsù, abbattiamo le istituzioni!!! di fatto si adopera a consegnare a questa gente il proprio e il nostro destino, controllato con Palantir, scritto su Catene di Blocchi, e regolato a distanza da contratti Smart.

L'istituzione ci sarà in ogni caso, ma sarà distante incontrollabile e insindacabile.


Ehtereum & blockchain? Peter Thiel.

Intercept 2016

Transition Adviser Peter Thiel Could Directly Profit From Mass Deportations


Palantir Technologies, the data-mining company co-founded by billionaire and Trump transition adviser Peter Thiel, will likely assist the Trump administration in its efforts to track and collect intelligence on immigrants, according to a review of public records by The Intercept. Since 2011, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s Office of Homeland Security Investigations has paid Palantir tens of millions of dollars to help construct and operate a complex intelligence system called FALCON, which allows ICE to store, search, and analyze troves of data that include family relationships, employment information, immigration history, criminal records, and home and work addresses.

Since Thiel joined Trump’s transition team last month, Palantir’s wide-ranging contracts with federal agencies — that include the Department of Homeland Security, the Defense Department, and the Central Intelligence Agency — have raised eyebrows of ethics watchdogs. In recent years, the federal government has reportedly paid Palantir some $340 million in contracts. Concerns over Thiel’s potential conflicts deepened last week when it was reported that he would not confirm whether or not he had signed standard paperwork barring him from participating in Trump transition matters that might conflict with his private interests.“Given the broad scope of Palantir’s business with the federal government and Mr. Thiel’s investments, it seems to me that he should step away from a pretty broad set of transition issues,” Norman Eisen, a former U.S. ambassador to the Czech Republic who served as chief ethics lawyer to the Obama administration during its first two years, told The Intercept.

Eisen pointed to Palantir’s contracts with ICE as an example. “Whenever anything touching on that agency is at issue, he should step out of the room and he should not be copied on emails about it,” said Eisen. “The information he learns about that agency could be immediately useful to him in his Palantir duties.”

[...] As a part of maintaining FALCON, Palantir has helped to build ICE’s tip line, which allows the general public to report violations of law, according to a funding document. With a significant uptick in anti-immigrant sentiment across the country coinciding with Trump’s victory, the tip line could begin processing a higher volume of calls. Last week, the Texas Observer reported that anti-immigrant activists had seized upon the tip line as a tool, distributing fliers around Texas State University encouraging people to call the number to report undocumented immigrants. “We are entering an era of law and order in this country,” the flier stated. “Do your part to make such a change for the good!”

Oltre l’apocalisse

http://tysm.org/davvero-rene-girard-e-il-padrino-dei-like/

Peter Thiel, fondatore di Pay Pal e di Palantir, oggi in Founders Funds ha più volte raccontato come sia stato l’incontro con Girard a ispirargli la fuga da New York verso la Silicon Valley. Valley che, oggi, Thiel ha polemicamente abbandonato, definendola un covo di gente distrutta dai titoli di studio e senza più capacità di innovazione concreta. Come non ha mai fatto mistero di aver preso la decisione di investire in Facebook ispirato, oltre che da una logica immanente alle dinamiche speculative, dalla contingenza. In questo casoL l’aver incrociato il pensiero di René Girard.

Il 2004 è per Thiel l’anno cruciale. Poco dopo aver preso parte al simposio su politica e apocalisse, come angelic investor investì 500mila dollari nel lancio e sviluppo della piattaforma Facebook. Fu il primo finanziamento esterno per una start up fino a quel momento ignota agli ambienti finanziari.

Poco applicata, ad oggi, negli internet studies la teoria del desiderio mimetico di Girard ha un corollario nella sua teoria della violenza e del capro espiatorio.

Thiel, racconta Geoff Shullenberger, potrebbe aver «investito e promosso Facebook non solo perché le teorie di Girard lo hanno portato a prevedere la futura redditività dell’azienda, ma perché ha visto i social media come un meccanismo per il contenimento e la canalizzazione della violenza mimetica di fronte a uno Stato inefficace».

Facebook, quindi, non era semplicemente un investimento preveggente e ben remunerato per Thiel, ma un atto politico radicale strettamente connesso ad altre sue azioni ben note, dalla fondazione di Palantir Technologies, definita «il braccio tecnologico della Cia», fino al sostegno alla causa Bollea/Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker
