Thiel made the observation that people who are proficient in maths are “way too biassed” in Silicon Valley in the twenty-first century. Thiel added that the reason behind such favouritism is not clear, which is why it “seems deeply unstable” and that’s what he would bet on “getting worse”

He made the observation that those who are proficient in maths are “way too biassed” in Silicon Valley in the twenty-first century. Thiel continued, saying that it “seems deeply unstable” since it is unclear why there is such favouritism.
