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.
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.
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
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.
Fun fact. The reason why Luigi is angry here is because you broke the spaghetti in half! No other reason.
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.
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.
Friendly reminder Vance is his lap dog.
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?
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.
“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
So this is a lecture to warn others of awful people like him?
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. .
People are seriously paying money to have the devil himself (Peter Thiel of PayPal, Palantir, and Pal of Epstein) teach them about religion.
I don’t like having to do this, but this shit is literally blasphemy. It’s all there in the book y’all have been using like an all powerful shield against modernization. Now this evil tech bro is going to tell you all about the anti-christ, and the path to eternal life through technology?! Come the fuck on:
Matthew 15-20: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
San Francisco you have a very important job to do: I feel like people should go with megaphones and, warn everyone attending that they’re being deceived by a false prophet and going to hell.
There are 4 horses.
3 have already rode (ridden?) in.
(The image is real)
They flew in, on their private jets.
Ridden is correct. They rode in or they have ridden in.
Omg chat, real!?
The guy is just another edgelord like musk.
Nah, theil is a deeper evil. He’s been putting his paypal and facebook billions to spin up the altright pipeline for literal decades.
He quietly funds all sorts of institutes and influencers and silicon valley wonks and founders that gin up most of the nasty shit we interact with now, all to feed his dream of libertarian kingdoms where ownership is governance, where the only right people have is to leave. He is literally a monarchist, and views himself as a king in waiting.
Hes not just a loudmouth idiot like Musk, who splashes money around wildly. Hes more of a Rasputin, the power behind the crown, and hes been very successful at it. Hes someone who coordinates evil, sets it in motion and keeps it building.
You used to need more social skills to get rich. You had schmooze, negotiate, coordinate, intimidate. Now, any psychopath who can whip a few software developers can make billions.
Thiel must be hewn down and cast into fire. I like it.
I fucking hate accelerationism, and this is one of them.
