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.
The ticket prices are nothing more than a bribe paid to an influential person. I’ve not seen this guy talk to a camera much, but the little I have seen has not impressed me, I can’t imagine anyone caring what he has to say that much. High society socialite garbage.
Or maybe he’ll reveal he’s the actual living avatar of Asmodeus and enthrall everyone in attendance with dark magic like a movie villain reveal. I don’t know, I’d accept it as truth if I saw it in the news at this point.
Watching theil talk makes Zuckerberg seem human
remember when he struggled to say that he supported the survival of the human race? it was during that Ezra Klein interview.
I don’t think it was Ezra Kline. It was Ross Douthat. Interesting Times. It’s a bunch of interviews with modern Right Wing people who are active in shaping the current right wing political narrative. Including UFO people.
right you are, I confused my Times columnists!
That pause before answering told me everything I need to know about him.
I ran across the Good Work skit about it first and thought it was taken out of context. nope… dude was dead serious.
It’s not so much a bribe—he doesn’t need money—as a tool to weed out poors, skeptics and investigative reporters.
He wants an audience of rich, gullible fools.
