Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Antics Continue
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.
Here’s the thing: this isn’t really about religion. It’s about power and politics, wrapped in theological language. 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.
If your president embodies every single one of the Seven Deadly Sins, he just might be The Antichrist.
Thanks Jeff Foxworthy
So he’s just gonna be there showing PowerPoint slideshows of him and his buddies? Lol.
Of course I know him. He’s me.
Don does like it when people talk about him, but I doubt he could sit through four lectures
Imagine I give you $100,000 today, tomorrow and every day thereafter. How long until you get tired of getting $100,000 each day?
After only a few days, most people’s financial problems would be solved. After ten days, you will have received 1 million dollars. After a few months, you will have been able to purchase anything you’ve ever dreamed of.
How long, then, until money is meaningless to you?
Do you know how long it takes to have received 1 billion dollars?
27.4 years.
27.4 years of receiving $100,000 every day. A billion dollars is 10,000 $100,000s.
Some people have hundreds of billions of dollars. It is an astronomical number.
You can’t imagine how much that amount of money changes a person. You will absolutely lose your mind and yourself.
No one should ever even possess anywhere near that level of money. It’s way too much power.
People conflate rich people with millionaires and casually lump billionaires in with that group.
They are not the same. Billionaires are shells of humans, filled with the putrid sludge of a soul completely consumed by greed.
Do not listen to them. Do not believe them. They only tell you things they want you to believe. They will take everything from you, including your life.
A hard upper limit would solve a lot of problems in the world. Like once you reach a billion dollars you die immediately.
Yup, I don’t give a shit about the multi millionaire orthodontist who co-owns his practice, has a summer home and a boat and some sports cars. Heck a lot of small farmers are multi millionaires on paper.
I do care about the people who have enough expendable cash that they can throw 10M at a political endeavor without batting an eye.
Sorry but an orthodontist or a dentist who is a multimillionaire is only normal in the USA. It’s one of the reasons why healthcare in your country is unaffordable.
I just looked this up and they make big bucks almost everywhere, including Europe.
They have left us with only one solution to the billionaire problem. And they’re trying to make that difficult too, with round-the-clock security. But everyone is vulnerable for a moment here or there.
Last night I chatted with my politically moderate neighbor, who is now considering leaving the country, and cheered Luigi, and a bunch of other shit that would have been “far left” a while ago, but I think is now permeating into the middle too.
polarization of the populace works in both directions, the left only lags a bit behind because they actually like stuff like due process and human rights.
Do not listen to them. Do not believe them. They only tell you things they want you to believe. They will take everything from you, including your life.
say crazy illogical thing
do crazy illogical thing
deliver instructions on what he wants you to do
tells a logical truth
you believe it
it’s a brainwashing seminar.
I think we should allow everyone to introduce themselves
He’s a man of wealth, and taste
And has been around for a long long year
Definitely wealth. I haven’t tasted him yet
Well if you do, I’m sure he’d be pleased to meet you regardless.
He is desperate that people regard him as a deep and serious thinker. The trouble is, no interesting thought has ever crossed his mind. This is the reason for his pathetic hatred of academics. His university professors rightly saw a useless dweeb with an outrageous sense of self regard.
The only reason Trump went to the Wharton School of Business was to take advantage of his draft deferments, which kept him out of the Vietnam War. (Trump got 5 deferments, one medical and 4 educational).
He apparently didn’t learn much while he was there, because his professor at Wharton (William T Kelly) has said, “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.”
considering it’s Peter Thiel doing this, nothing good can come from this.
You would think that a gay billionaire who’s obsessed with making himself immortal and putting forward intense surveillance and ushering in AI gods fervently would be most Christian’s definition of the antichrist. I know it’s mine, and I’m not even Christian anymore.
Edit: I am fine with the gay part, I just want to make that extremely clear before everyone rips me to shreds for being homophobic. I just think Thiel is evil.
The gay part is what makes it crazy, he thinks his money will protect him? The homophobia in the christian world is insane. Just because they’re nice to your face, that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t hang you from a tree if they could. Fake nice is their thing.
Save him? He is accelerating what they are doing. He is funding them and propagandizing to them. He is the main reason fascism is here.
remember he defenestrated his BOYTOY from florida last year, probably sucked the life forced out of him to stay young, and then staged an “accident”
K wait did he throw him out a window? I do not know this story
not exactly defenestrated, but very similar his timing of his death after voicing his concern over thiels continuing support and attack on anti-lgbqt+ rhetoric and initiatives through the gop. he fell from a high rise after voicing his concern over this, and due to “personal issues, so suicide”.
You ask why, he doesnt just Leave THiel? if your so depressed? something else he knows about thiel that thiel doesnt want revealed, let alone; probably doesnt want to be int he news " thiel being gay, supports homophobic laws" or something else. how do you leave someone that has much more power than you do, just like a woman who wants to leave an abuser but dont?
thiel could probably ruin the bf life if he had not suicided, and left, to prevent him from going to press to give a tell all article to the news. its pretty fishy.
the last thing thiel wants is press on him being gay, and doing something shady, like with gawker, thats why he funded HUlk hogans lawsuit, he had a vendetta.
because right wingers dont tolerate gays at all.
you can search an article, i think this happened in florida.
Crazy. Thanks for the info.
My one solace in the coming climate/water wars, is that Pete is going to likely be tortured and murdered by his private military. Once the government he wants to destroy is gone, what’s to stop the people with weapons to just be like “lol,no!” to his orders?
He useful till he ain’t…
If the people he’s financing ever really seizes control like he wants, the first thing they’d do is seize the wealth of private billionaires like him.
Why risk them staying supportive when you can just seize all their wealth for themselves?
I’m reasonably sure that Peter Thiel is
thean antichrist. Seems exactly like the kind of people warned about in the Book, charlatans, fraudsters, those who worship the dollar over Jah.Also his surveillance company is literally named palantir(the orbs from Lord of the rings that saurrumon has laying around, that have him a direct line to the bbeg
So this lecture is like a Disney villain singing about their plans.
Scar comes to mind
He wishes he was as cool as Scar!
Yeah, these nazis are also lame
I’m not antichrist, I’m just antichrist curious
The 9th gate vibes anyone?
hes the real anti-christ, that controls his puppet vance and trump
A four part lecture on Trump? But why?
