Peter Thiel's class notes

Peter Thiel's class notes are unbelievable. Here is one gem that never occurred to me. Absolutely worth a full read. 

"One way to think about the tech mania from March 1998 to September 2000, then, comes from this insight that pretty much everything else was going insanely wrong before that time. The technology bubble was an indirect proof; the old economy was proven not to work, as we could no longer compete with Mexico or China. Emerging markets were proven failures, rife with cronyism and mismanagement. Europe offered little hope. And no one wanted to invest with leverage after the LTCM disaster. So, by the late '90s, a process of elimination left only one good place to put money: in tech."
