10 Learnings from Ryan Holiday's Conspiracy book:

1. If you think something is having a bad influence on society, would you fight it yourself or would you leave it on Karma or on other people?
2. "“When personal gossip attains the dignity of print, and crowds the space available for matters of real interest to the community, it “destroys at once robustness of thought and delicacy of feeling. No enthusiasm can flourish, no generous impulse can survive under its blighting influence.” ”- Harvard Law Review
3. “ For every dollar in revenue that Gawker makes, how much economic value is it destroying, for Peter and for other people?”      Replace 'Gawker' with any social media platform and 'Peter and for other people' with yourself.
4. One of the remarkable things about Peter is that he is a voracious reader. He has read a lot of literature of every kind from war strategy to political ideologies.
5. The habit of Peter Thiel to bet on dark Horses is what made him a billionaire. This quality is observed in this book also.
6. Often in conspiracy, the success of one side depends on the disillusionment of other side. Here, Gawker never knew that Peter Thiel, the man they outed as gay in 2007 was funding this case and when they did come to know, the trial had destroyed Gawker completely.
7. "Culture eats strategy" The reason binding these all conspirators was so strong that they never flinched.
8. “And so it is that even setbacks can contain opportunities within them, if conspirators are patient and resourceful enough.” Patience is the most important trait when conspiring. 
9. Peter thiel and his team prepared for worst case scenario by conducting not one but two mock trials. 
11. “Grandmaster José Raúl Capablanca”—Thiel’s favorite chess player—“put it well: to succeed ‘you must study the endgame before everything else.’”
