Possibly one of the world's richest [[transhumanist]]s, he has invested in [[MIRI]], [[Singularity University]],<ref>[http://www.xconomy.com/san-francisco/2010/12/08/peter-thiel-challenges-silicon-valleys-wealthy-to-back-breakthrough-philanthropic-causes/# Peter Thiel Challenges Silicon Valley’s Wealthy to Back “Breakthrough” Philanthropic Causes ]</ref> [[OpenAI]], [[life extension]] projects such as [[SENS]] and is registered for [[cryonics|cryonic]] suspension.<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/11098971/Peter-Thiel-the-billionaire-tech-entrepreneur-on-a-mission-to-cheat-death.html Peter Thiel: the billionaire tech entrepreneur on a mission to cheat death]</ref>

To many, he is a prime example of an eccentric [[Silicon Valley]] investor.<ref>[http://www.businessinsider.com/a-guide-to-hbos-silicon-valley-jokes-2014-4?IR=T#ixzz30OLeYqJ8 A Guide To The Best Inside Jokes On HBO's Hit Comedy 'Silicon Valley']</ref> He is also unusual for someone in his position in that he is [[religious transhumanism|religious]], [[christian transhumanism|Christian]] and [[spiritual transhumanism|spiritual]].<ref>[http://religiondispatches.org/the-tech-christian-apologist-who-demolished-gawker/ The Tech-Christian Apologist Who Demolished Gawker]</ref>

He has often espoused anti-democratic views, suggesting that libertarian style freedom are incompatible with elements such as [[Feminism and transhumanism|women's suffrage]].<ref>[https://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/05/21/1093450/-Facebook-Billionaire-Peter-Thiel-It-sucks-that-women-have-the-vote Facebook Billionaire Peter Thiel: It sucks that women have the vote]</ref> Such contemporary yet conservative politics align him with the small [[neo-reactionary movement]].<ref>[http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/06/peter-thiel.html Why Peter Thiel Wants to Topple Gawker and Elect Donald Trump]</ref>

His view that college education is a bubble and provides little value beyond the admissions process (which identifies people as being bright), and his consequent encouragement of super-bright students to drop out of university, has been criticised by [[Vivek Wadha]] as contributing to "a race to the bottom of the global economic ladder".<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2014/12/01/in-defense-of-college-what-peter-thiel-gets-wrong-once-again/ In defense of college: What Peter Thiel gets wrong, once again]</ref>

Thiel has expressed much interest in [[radical life extension]], such as the potential life-extending effects of [[parabiosis]], the practice of transplanting blood from a youthful organism to an older one.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM9f0W2KD5s&t=10208</ref><ref>https://www.inc.com/jeff-bercovici/peter-thiel-young-blood.html</ref>

== Politics ==

His political support has leant conservative–libertarian. He also was member of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_Party_(United_States) Libertarian Party]<ref>http://www.nndb.com/people/030/000124655/</ref> until Trump entered the presidential race. He then switched his membership to the Republican Party and donated in Republican primaries to Donald Trump for the 2016 election.<ref>[http://www.wired.com/2016/05/investor-peter-thiel-will-california-delegate-trump/ Ultimate Tech Bro Peter Thiel Will Be a Delegate for Trump]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTJB8AkT1dk Peter Thiel | Full Speech | 2016 Republican National Convention]</ref>

Following the 2016 Trump election victory, he acted as a technology advisor to the Trump Administration.<ref>[https://www.cnet.com/news/peter-thiel-to-enter-trump-inner-circle-as-technology-adviser/ Peter Thiel to enter Trump inner circle as tech adviser]</ref>
