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.
Oh, St Luigi, may your blessings rain down upon this man.
So, this is like his Memoir?
The Antichrist: An Unofficial Autobiography
I really did not think he was ready to go public about it so soon.
every time I see one of them pull this weird shit, I have to walk myself through the process again of how christians got to solidarity with the rich. I don’t know why I keep forgetting that was always the purpose
Anyone interested in this topic, at least how it happened in the United States should check out the Behind the Bastards episodes titled “How the Rich Ate Christianity”
I am, been waiting for an excuse to finally look at that podcast. that seems like as good of an entry point as any
Oh it’s a really good introduction episode. Heavy but ridiculous
Feel free to PM me for other good ep recommendations, huge fan of Robert for years and am a glutton for historically depressing stories
Thanks for spreading the word on this! Ever since I knew of it I keep trying to spread awareness too!
My friend you do not understand how happy I am to talk about this topic at length and spread awareness. Appreciate you too!
Another recommendation for anyone reading this and interested is the book Jesus and John Wayne.
The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber (1905)
Fairly certain that informed that episode but I do need to read that in its entirety myself
Related to Thiel, check out The Coming Storm, too. I think it’s that podcast that keeps returning to The Sovereign Individual as something that ties a lot of these nuts together.
I sometimes find this timeline incredibly funny. How did we get here?
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.
It all started with an ape that got shot.
I assume he’ll be spending a lot on security
Nobody should be getting physically close with anyone attending his talk or trying to interfere with his space. Idk if you’ve ever had someone try to save your soul from eternal damnation but that’s what the megaphone is for.
The goal isn’t to do anything other than to call out his hypocrisy and make people realize how lame he is. If people don’t care they don’t care. If people would rather join other humans having fun and being free to be themselves in God’s universe rather than listen to him talk about his universe, they should feel welcome to join.
Counterpoint it’d be funny if Thiel was hit by a 2001 Honda Civic especially if he flopped around a bit afterwards because his bones were shattered and his organs were liquid.
So specific
You make a solid argument, I dont think any further discussion is needed.
Oh God, even the puppet master is a crazy idiot?
Ah, so he bought a mirror.
Friendly reminder Vance is his lap dog.
Sharing a photo for no reason at all. Not related to the topic.
4 chances
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.
Let me guess, is the Antichrist “woke”?
Sort of an autobiographical art piece I guess?
His sales pitch.
Hmm… I wonder if I can put together a bomb vest In time?
/s
Fun fact. The reason why Luigi is angry here is because you broke the spaghetti in half! No other reason.
These people are both insane and in charge. They have the means and the will to kill us all.
