Just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder, Peter Thiel has announced plans to deliver a four-part lecture series on the Antichrist. These unusual events will take place at the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco on four days in September and October.
Thiel, one of the most influential tech billionaires of our time, seems intent on forcing us to discuss the Antichrist. He is clearly trying to make a point.
But, what is that point?
Thiel’s lecture series won’t provide any clues to the public—it’s off the record. He’ll be delivering his lectures to an exclusive group of Antichrist-curious tech acolytes in a highly-controlled atmosphere.
Definitely not a technocult.
At the Commonwealth Club? LMAO
My guess is; the anti-christ is progressives who want gay people like him to just say they're gay. He's on record as not wanting that. He likely sees government regulations as some sort of anti-christ as he's on record as having said he doesn't believe democracy and freedom are compatible.
It's the usual boring thing: The anti-christ is everything Thiel doesn't like.
All hail the anti-christ is all I can say.

Thiel has long been fascinated with political theorist Carl Schmitt's ideas about “political theology”—the notion that all significant political concepts are secularized theological concepts.
No wonder I’ve related better to Gnosticism than mainstream Pauline Christianity.
To hell with any tyrant says that knowledge is bad, and has an unquenchable narcissistic need for constant praise and worship. And hail Azazel.

Phew, for a moment I thought he'd give a lecture on the anarchist.
4 hours on how he,(thiel) the anti-christ warps reality(one of the antichrists powers)
Isn't there a conflict of interest here? I mean, his boy-toy Vance is the antichrist's VP and all.

I look forward to hearing recordings or reading the transcripts if they surface. Hopefully something does, this is relevant to pretty much anybody on earth right now. /s
I wonder how many times he'll mention Greta Thunberg, the presumptive Antichrist?
This makes perfect sense, since it takes one to know one.
