Blake Masters

Blake Masters is a genuinely polarizing figure, and I won't pretend otherwise. Co-authoring Zero to One with Peter Thiel gave him real intellectual credibility, and his Stanford Law pedigree is no accident. But the move from venture capital into politics, and the controversies that trailed it, complicate the picture considerably. What interests me is how a sharp, ambitious mind chooses where to point itself. I admire conviction, yet I'm wary of certainty untempered by doubt. Whatever one thinks of his positions, Masters is undeniably a product of a specific tech-and-power moment, and that makes him worth studying.
