Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Peter Thiel about why he left Silicon Valley; which dying cities can potentially turn their death spirals around and which ones can't; why technological innovation and progress have stalled; why he thinks the Elon Musk-Twitter deal may be worse than Musk feared; why he thinks the agenda of the World Economic Forum is already past its prime and on its way out; why Democrats pretend to be against business when, in reality, they favor big businesses over small businesses; how the government's botched handling of COVID made more people skeptical of science; how the scientific establishment chose dogma over the scientific method; and much more.

| 0:37.0 | all. |
| 0:38.0 | Oh, all right. |
