This guy has lost his marbles. Also, there is no such future person as the ‘antichrist’. The reference being made in Revelation is Nero.
there’s an old joke that poor people are “weird” but wealthy people are “eccentric”
if you heard someone in your family saying this bullshit at Thanksgiving, you’d think they were experiencing delusions and in need of professional mental help.
instead, Thiel talked about this in a four-part lecture series with sold-out tickets.
If we think Elon, Gates and Bezos are far-right, exploiting, scum billionaires, then Thiel is about 715 Texas sized football fields to the right of them politically. Dude is insane.
Theil is their leader. This is especially obvious with Elon. Elon is Theil’s dumb errand boy.
Thiel is weird, like being willing to admit in an interview that he regularly gets blood transfusions from healthy young people in order to prolong his life back in 2016 or 17, or hesitating when on a podcast and asked if he believed in humanity surviving into the future… but he’s generally not completely fucking bonkers. He’s one of the most successful Silicon Valley investors. Remember that he basically made JD Vance, Planatir is getting deeply entrenched in multiple countries’ intelligence agencies and law enforcement groups, he has a ridiculous amount of connections to everyone involved with Project 2025, some connections to the current AI bubble, and at least some connection to getting Trump into office in the first place. He is probably the closest thing we have to a real life supervillian, as trite as saying that is.
This is an absurd statement, but he’s saying it for a reason. He’s trying to make something happen with this. He’s trying to push things in a certain direction. Don’t just laugh at the absurdity or make some cheap laugh statement about delusional Christians and turn your brain off.
Seems like he’s trying to make regulations for AI not happen so Palantir can be a creepier orb of intelligence.
Hes like if Elon Musk wasn’t a fucking moron.
What is this obsession with mythological nonsense?
Self-importance and loss of connection to reality through both tech and wealth.
Because it’s about that can’t be proven wing to an audience that had been raised to believe in a big Sky Daddy of some variety or another. IMHO, raising children to believe in whatever religion predisposes them to believe all sorts of groundless bullshit told to them by their leaders, which is why those prone to controlling others like to push religion so hard.
Noted non-theologian Peter Thiel…
I swear anyone who refers to the Antichrist in any serious way should be publicly mocked and then placed into a conservatorship.
He's playing the crowd.
LOL
Sounds like a someone who needs to talk to an LLM less.
He’s literally funding the biblical description of the antichrist according to Revelation
And this comes from none other than Palantir? Am I reading this right? Absolutely hypocrisy. Up next, the car industry says you should take the bus instead.
His marbles were never unlost
Bro, what the fuck are you even saying anymore.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
The antichrist was regulation all along.
Nero, Trump, poTayto, poTahto
PO-TAY-TOES
Spoilin’ nice fish. Give it to us raw and wrigglin’. You keep nasty chips.
The reference being made in Revelation is Nero.
I have heard before how Nero may have been the one who caused the tribulations that early Christians went through - e.g. not being able to buy food without having his (Nero’s) approval, but not necessarily in reference to Nero being the actual Antichrist himself.
So I looked it up, and according to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist, that term is widely thought (e.g. Martin Luther, father of the Protestant reformation, and John Calvin) to not necessarily refer to Nero, or rather not just him alone. Similar to how a “man of the law” can refer to anyone who upholds it - a sheriff for example - a “man of lawlessness” can refer to anyone who opposes it.
Cool, TIL 😎
I hope so.
Regulation is something that should happen to the media as far as he’s concerned
The reference being made in the Bible is Nero
lol
