PayPal and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel is embarking on an unusual intellectual journey this fall—delivering a sold-out four-part lecture series on the biblical figure of the Antichrist. The private lectures, which will be held at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, represent the latest evolution in Thiel’s increasingly public theological interests that intertwine his Christian faith with his concerns about technology’s potential to enable authoritarian control.
What a glorious, target rich environment. I hope they all get eaten.
It would be cool to hear his take on things, if for no other reason than he has a huge amount of influence in the current government and had a hand in project 2025; and he’s I think an accelerationist who believes society needs to collapse and be remade into some techno-feudal state with himself as lord of part of California and also everyone’s personal information. Cause Palantir definitely has all your shit at this point.
Oh, he’s banking on society collapsing. That’s what his Praxis network-state-city is about.
If you’re not familiar with Curtis Yarvin, he’s the crazy glue holding it all together. Get deep into that mess, it’s what happens after Project 2025 runs out of ideas.
I’m curious as to how they think they will make it through it.
All their wealth is magical stock numbers on a computer. They better have some gold on hand to pay to protect their shit.
They can ride out the worst of it in their bunkers but if they want to be Immotan Joe it’s quite the dice roll.
I mean yeah that’s about it. It seems like we could probably just all read that and know you probably saved us having to listen to him stroke his own ego for several hours.
I guess I kind of understand going to hear it to find out what’s being discussed, but the plan is pretty much the wealthy will inherit the earth. The opposite of what the bible actually says.
I would just be very hesitant to give this guy a penny of my money. Unless you plan to secretly record and pirate whatever he says behind closed doors. Then I fully support it.
Actually now that I think about it, if you can catch him even hinting at anything involving organ transplants and immortality behind closed doors I would campaign for you to receive the Nobel Peace Prize and a medal of honor.

Pretty sure all big tech guys want to farm the poor for their organs
Yess!!! God dammit and it’s so crazy that people are never going to actually believe it until it’s too late to do anything about it. Like it will probably just get normalized to the point where it’s considered a privilege to be sacrificed for the wealthy bc you’re allowed a better quality of life compared to your peasant peers in order to keep your organs in tip top shape.
Like people keep saying everything is just a distraction from the Epstein files, but that shit has become a distraction from what all he’s trying to normalize in the meantime while Republicans keep dropping kayfabe and pretending they’re shocked in order to keep us distracted.
They just dismissed Congress early and went home for the summer. They’re supposed to be returning but are about to just shut down the entire government instead. Probably indefinitely. The entire Republican party is going scorched earth. By the time all the files do get released (if ever) it will be beyond the point where it matters.
The goal has always been to overthrow the government and replace it with an oligarchy.
Do people actually understand what organ harvesting, sex trafficking, pedophile oligarchs stand to lose if some files are released confirming what we already knew once we no longer have any accountability, elections, or a justice system, and every city is controlled by the state dictator’s military? Nothing. That’s why they don’t give a fuck.
In a few year when he loses his hair, he’ll achieve his goal of becoming the real Dr. Evil.
Can somebody cryo freeze him?
I sometimes find this timeline incredibly funny. How did we get here?
It all started with an ape that got shot.
Abrahamic techno facism?
Well Facebook let companies know that users would volunteer their most valued data… And now there’s an ai identifying Palestinians based on their facial features so they can be starved better.
Soooooooo eidunno. Billionaires are the new prophets in this wealth obsessed world.
What is it with billionaires that they have to go insane? It’s like all of them end up like those classic campus bond villains
They don’t go insane.
They just stop pretending they were ever sane enough to share.
I kinda wonder if it’s like how two people can watch a movie and come away with a completely different view of the same character. They saw the asshole villain that was made to be unlikable and thought “man that guy is cool,” before they began a series of very poor life choices. Life imitating art.
Sharing a photo for no reason at all. Not related to the topic.
I usually refrain from uttering what could be construed as death threats. So I will continue my streak and mention that this seems more like an event that should be catered by C. L. Aymore and associates.
4 chances
So this is a lecture to warn others of awful people like him?
“his Christian faith”? Is Thiel Christian? Or is he just calling himself that for cultural political reasons, like Peterson and Musk?
(For the record, I am Christian, and I’m constantly horrified at what passes for Christianity in the US.)
He is not, he uses it for the political reasons like you suspect
Fun fact. The reason why Luigi is angry here is because you broke the spaghetti in half! No other reason.
Friendly reminder Vance is his lap dog.
Oh, St Luigi, may your blessings rain down upon this man.
Wow giving a lecture about yourself. That’s meta man
I don’t think Peter Thiel knows that he is a candidate for the antichrist.
To know that, would require self reflection.
Well it’s been brought up to him directly so it’s certainly in his head
He’s just a want-to-be.
Considering he helped the anti-christ become president, this should be in nottheoninion
I’m no biblical scholar, but isn’t this one of the features of the antichrist? Like that they will have false prophets and other dastardly types trying to deceive people and advance the real antichrist’s agenda?
If any of those myths had any basis in reality, Thiel would definitely qualify as the Antichrist. As it is, he’s just a common and garden variety asshole.
My neighbor is a common garden variety asshole… this guy is a billionaire pile of shit getting obscenely wealthy on the demise of humans. He’s not the antichrist, but he’s no garden variety asshole.
No technically Exxon and Shell would be considering theyre bringing an actual apocalypse
An oldie, but a goodie:
Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist? Here Are the Biblical Predictions
Jews need to build the third temple first for the antichrist to be summoned. Coincidentally a red heifer was sacrificed earlier this year and The Dome of the Rock is looking mighty destructable.
I went down an antichrist rabbit hole during my work poop earlier and read that the Bible prophesies there being multiple antichrists throughout history, culminating in an ultimate mega-douche of an antichrist who ends up ending the whole world.
Sort of an autobiographical art piece I guess?
His sales pitch.
These people are both insane and in charge. They have the means and the will to kill us all.
I don’t understand how such stupid people end up so rich and powerful. .
