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.
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.
