N.T. Wright: One of the problems is the decline of reason that we don't think properly. We forgotten how to discourse, how to reason discourse, how to lineup arguments and actually work from premises to conclusions and think through issues. So much is done in knee-jerk reactions and may be that's necessary in a complex culture. But in the world of Silicon Valley, somebody has to be doing the very fine tuned, sharp edged stuff otherwise machines aren't gonna work and it will not do what it supposed to do.
Peter Thiel: It's always a very valuable discipline to do that and not to assume that other people had done it for you. And certainly it's a shortcut to assume that other people had done it and don't need to think through this issue and that topic. If had to leave anything to encourage the audience that would be - we live a world of specialists, we know one narrow area and everything else you along with other people think and it takes too much stuff to think things through. And going through that exercise is really valuable.
