Peter Thiel criticizes the U.S. college system, likening it to the corrupt Catholic Church of 500 years ago. He argues that education has become a substitute for future planning, driven by societal anxiety, with the K-12 system overly focused on college admission. Thiel condemns the high costs and the creation of a professorial class that does little work, paralleling the sale of indulgences. He advocates for a more diverse education system with multiple pathways to success, rather than the current overemphasis on obtaining a college diploma. Thiel’s vision includes broader societal improvements, emphasizing the need for multifaceted progress.
