What important truth do few agree with you?

Peter Thiel is the founder of PayPal and Palantir. He is also the author of book "Zero to One" and has also invested in Facebook, Space X and LinkedIn.

He is fond of asking a job interview question

" What important truth do very few people agree with you on?"

He adds that brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is even shorter in supply than genius.

As per him the good answer will take the form " Most people believe in x, but the truth is the opposite of of x."

Are you on a journey to figure out your important truth?
