Peter Thiel is doing a series of lectures on the Antichrist

I hope it gets livestreamed. I would LOVE to hear this.

So it’s autobiographical.

This kaween has some big balls, I’ll give him that.

[quote] Religious thinkers upon whom Peter will draw include René Girard, Francis Bacon, Jonathan Swift, Carl Schmitt, and John Henry Newman

I wasn't aware that Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt was considered a "religious thinker."

So, did he fuck J.D. Vance, or just share eyeliner beauty tips?

Hard to believe an out gay man would advocate outright repression of everyone, including his gay peers.

Will he be speaking from the balcony?

The lecture will be called The Peter Thiel Story

Satanic FAG!

What are earthquake forecasts for the month

They're all going to laugh at you

[quote] Hard to believe an out gay man would advocate outright repression of everyone, including his gay peers.

You’ve clearly never been to a White Party.

R1 it’s off the record per the announcement.

ON the antichrist or AS the antichrist?

The interview he gave to The Atlantic revealed a lot about delusions and obsessions. He wants to be frozen when he dies. He actually thinks a future society would be inclined to revive a man who spent his life trying to spread authoritarianism. Sweaty old ghoul.

"These lectures are off-the-record. The lectures are designed as a cohesive series, with each session building on the last. To support continuity and community, tickets are only available for the full four-part program."

What does that mean? No transcripts, no broadcast? I can imagine there'll be some protest activity about.

I can't think of a more soulless person - except those in the current administration - to talk about faith. This is all coded talk about white supremacy.

Christian love looks a lot like hate.

He has one of the worst smiles I’ve ever seen. He looks like a scat queen.

There is only one cure for this.

I hope someone shoots him.

[quote]Hard to believe an out gay man would advocate outright repression of everyone, including his gay peers.

Wasn't he outed by Dlisted, or something, which was why he bankrolled that useless lump of shit Hulk Hogan to be the front man in the Dlisted civil case/takedown?

He's no out and proud hero, that one.

r20, it was Gawker, not Dlisted

Ah, yes, R21, thank you for correcting me.

He’s been saying it’s Greta Thunberg for a while, something the stupidest queens here can agree on

Will the Ancień Regime be discussed?

Not really sure how or why anyone takes this misanthrope seriously. I guess money talks. It certainly bought him JD’s hillbilly hole.

Apparently, Thiel has been telling friends that King Charles doesn't have long to live and Prince William will assume the throne sooner rather than later.

It's almost like he's psychic, R26!

Do you think he knows what type of cancer Kate had?

"How dare they have a panel like this without me."

OP's picture looks like Thiel's graduation picture from his course in How to Pass for Human.

A I has done wonders for that hideous face of his.

Besides is general evilness. This queen is still using a photo of himself from several years ago… so embarrassing. Pretty sure this headshot is from 2016 2014.

He hasn't looked like that since he entered Stanford back in '85.

He uses that headshot all the time. Probably because a picture of his current mug would frighten small children

[quote] OP's picture looks like Thiel's graduation picture from his course in How to Pass for Human.

He got a C- in that coursr.

[Quote] He got a C- in that coursr.

I got an A in that one, but I got a D in spell-checking.

^^^See...

How many of his boyfriends have committed suicide?

There's only one that counts and he hasn't yet

Peter Nazi Thiel should have been made unfuckable by now.

Jaydine licks his balls.

I wonder how many closeted celebs he's fucked over the years.

In other words “Let me introduce myself”

He's just misunderstood

I can afford the freshest meat - unlike the rest of you!

Let’s be gay mercenaries.

Peter, your houseboys won't be too fresh after you throw them off the balcony

R14 - perhaps he should lock himself in a freezer now.

"Chat GPT, recommend Lightroom settings to make a Lizard Person appear human."

So she’s pretending to be nietsche now?

Worse, he's pretending to be a Christian r50. The only way to make a Silicon Valley fucker worse is to shove a bible in his hand and start blathering about his very special role in the end times.

Is it wrong that I still wanna fuck him?

Yes.

R14 "He wants to be frozen when he dies. He actually thinks a future society would be inclined to revive a man who spent his life trying to spread authoritarianism"

It would take just one aging GenB aspy-incel looking for a phone charger to pull the plug out of his fridge

I listened to a pathologist explain how freezing would break down human tissue so freezing would never be viable. But, you know. Science. Amirite?

Fuck you, R55!

His human skin suit is ill fitting. With his money, he should be able to afford something better.

R47 When something's self life is over, you have to throw it out.

Did any of you see the video of his long interview with Ross Douthat of the NYT? A couple months ago? Thiel was batshit crazy. Douthat asked him if he was ok with A.I. destroying ALL humans. He wouldn't answer. He's ok with the end of the human race in service of some extraordinary notion of God and Cosmos and Thiel's own Uber Mind. He's clearly mentally ill.

This video does a good job of going into his horrible background, dead boyfriend, etc.

Why is it the worst people in the world are billionaires? And I’m certain they’re all just in some sort of dick measuring contest to see who can hoard the most money. It’s fucking obscene that a handful of people could do so much good in the world with their wealth but are instead ghouls who buy government just to save taxes and hoard even more wealth.

I do like Thom Hartmann's phrase: the morbidly rich. I don't know that they all start that way. I think it is extremely difficult to be super rich, like billionaire rich, and not turn into a complete cunt. You are surrounded by sycophants, you have a ridiculously inflated sense of your own awesomeness, a lot of it is luck and being right place/right time, but you are easily convinced that it's all you, and it was destined. I think you have to make a huge effort not to turn into a complete cunt, and most simply won't make that effort.

Importing those Bel Ami guys is so expensive these days - I think there's a new tariff!

Peter Thiel may be morbidly rich, but he's worth less than one fifteenth of what his nemesis Elon is.

Well, I bought two Powerball tickets for tonight. So there.

In the original German?

Ja!

Boy has he had work done—everyfuckingwhere. He’s unrecognizable from one of the ugliest men I’ve seen.

His cock is still ugly.

^ Have you seen it, or are you just assuming?

Any cock attached to Thiel is ugly by association, r69.

I think having a lot of money leads to an illiberal worldview, r62. People like Thiel and Musk genuinely believe that some people deserve rights more than others.

They make an important point at the link at R60: these tech billionaires aren't all that smart. They started with advantages (family money, Stanford connections) and got lucky (where are all the would-be tech billionaires who made unlucky investments?) and now they're in a preach to tell the rest of us that "democracy has failed" and should be replaced by a tech dictatorship—failed, that is, to let them prey on the rest of us without consequences.

His venereal diseases will rot him from the inside out. He is a greasy sociopath with a cheap wiglet and a sweat problem. Nasty as hell.

[quote]How many of his boyfriends have committed suicide?

I think you mean accidentally and tragically fallen off a balcony or out a window R38!

Moral of the story is he came to America for better teeth.

Venereal diseases? Which ones does he have? 😄

In a separate email to the billionaire Gary Fegel, Ehud Barak says he’s actually met Thiel once at Davos but Thiel likely doesn’t remember as “he was, I guess, under some drug impact”.

Bitch looks ROUGH

He's got Satan on speed dial, so he doesn't have to do much researching.

I got this invitation from this guy - I wonder if I should go?

Nicholas stud that he is has been seen with this piece of crap and supposedly that’s how Pretty boy got in the door with cast couching whoever to get a role.This could get very interesting I bet you Mr. N is literally sweating his tween little balls off

Thiel's obsession with the Antichrist

[quote] Apparently, Thiel has been telling friends that King Charles doesn't have long to live

Well, DUH.

Love these protestors who turned out!

He looks like Roy Cohn on a bad day.

Don't you just hate it when all someone wants to do is talk about themselves.

[quote] Apparently, Thiel has been telling friends that King Charles doesn't have long to live

Neither does Trump.

Cohn looked like a lizard and so does Thiel

Who's the cute twink with the orange 'retard' cap, leather jacket and Star of David medalion?

This is so bizarre.

Who is Thiel's latest flame? Some 19-year-old Thiel fellow or just a random male model?

Jamelle Bouie says what everyone's thinking.

[quote]i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

Interesting how the ugly brainiac gays turn on democracy.

He's getting his kicks on Route 666.

Are dicks kosher?

South Park needs to parody this weirdo.

This is one greazy mutha fucka!

Where do these tech bros get their reputation for brilliance? This write-up makes him sound like a B-list tv evangelist, but without the charisma.

Hangin' out with his buddy, Jeff Epstein

His skin is terrible.

Germans are fucked in the head.

More on R98's story.

Read an interesting article on substack looking at all his statements on religion. I kinda wish there was more analysis. To me it really seems like he is more inspired by the theories René Girard rather than any real religious belief.

Wonder if Nicholas Galitzine’s name will ever come up about him being Thiel’s little twink & who got Galitzine’s name out there (cast couching)

It is clear in the bible (which Thiel is trying to defend) that "Man is not able to direct his own step". That is not implying Calvinism, it's simply saying most people have no idea what they are doing.

Yet within the article quoted above, he talks about how he is trying to 'weave' a path between Armageddon and 'Antichrist'- "I would like to find some narrow path between these two where we can avoid both" ... um, he has very, very little idea of what he's talking about.

What a joke, he only gets airtime because he's a well-known shitstain loudmouth with a lot of opinions, his theology is a cobbled-together amateur mess.

It's a sign of late-stage American rightwingery that Ayn Rand silliness has ultimately coalesced with Late Great Planet Earth silliness. Apart from their determination to rake up all our money, these people are just not to be taken seriously.

The Antichrist is a wholly owned subsidiary of Palantir Technologies.

Possible that THE antichrist will be a movement whereby Christianity could be banned and outlawed.

R107 - Another issue being, of course, is that 99.9% of what is claimed to be Christianity is just plain old paganism with a little Christianity thrown in to make it 'respectable'.

R108 An analysis that is profoundly true but lost in the wilderness of the current content-generating miasma of digital representation and reproduction (like a virus): what is known, practiced, promulgated, saluted as "Christianity" not only isn't aligned with the teachings of Jesus, it's often contradictory.

You say Paganism... I think it's more problematic than paganism. Hubris, narcissism, bigotry, avarice, mendacity - mean and small little men.

R109 - Yes, absolutely. It's all of it in a moronic mish-mash.

And even more fun r109, Christians were doing so much shit early on that we really don't know what the teaching of Jesus really were, and how much is the teaching of this or that self-proclaimed apostle, disciple, bishop, rando, whoever managed to get their book or forged letter or whatever accepted by other Christians. It was a disorganized mess at first and nobody can be sure exactly what happened in the first century. All we know is that at some point around 100 AD a bunch of people scattered around a big empire were calling themselves Christians and felt some connection to each other and to someone named Jesus.

R111 - There is even a dispute recorded in the bible about circumcision. Now, that was recorded as resolved in the story, but it does show that there were arguments going on even then.

R111 Sure, what became the New Testament and how that scripture was used to build a "church" and a body of believers was varied, confused, skewed by culture, human dissembling, competitions, power grabs.... but biblical textural scholarship can track how a lot of that accrued in the gospels.

There is, however, some consistent ideas and principles in the recorded teachings... even in the Dead Sea Scrolls which did not make the cut. The Beatitudes/Sermon on the Mount, and key parables, the "only Law" - Love God and love others as yourself... Was there an historical Jesus? Unclear. Were these teachings recorded early in the first and second centuries. Yep. The comparison is to the teachings, not the history of the development of a Christian community of believers, and then a formal religion.

Off topic, perhaps. I am a follower of those teachings. I am not a Christian.

tick-tock. Wanna place a wager on how long before Peter donates his mega $ billions to some scary AF, Christian evangelical 'pastor'. An awful lot of damage can be done with that move.

R114, not a chance, he's too greedy. Besides, and I've said this here on DL so much that I'm tired of it, the liquidity of (especially) tech people is NOTHING that the lower/middle class fantasizes about.

I do mostly agree with you r113. However it happened, there is some kind of core Christianity and people who claim to uphold it should be held to that standard. If you say you love your neighbor, maybe act like it. And the whole rest of it.

Not so sure about real words and actions recorded in the first century, but I admit that's a separate issue. Maybe Paul had the right idea all along. Talk to the Risen Christ and don't worry so much about what any earthly Jesus did or did not say or do. I'm fascinated by those questions, but that certainly doesn't have to be everyone's interest.

And of course we all do that all the time. Applying some big principles to an ever changing world and reaching different conclusions about how best to apply them. But that doesn't mean nobody recognizes complete hypocrisy when they see it.

R116 Way off topic, and I apologize to the thread. But... I am 75 and have read scripture, exegesis, scholarship for decades and decades... and I find much of what is attributed to St Paul (there's a problem there, right?) to be contradictory, obscure, unwarranted in claims that it "follows" from the Gospels. Yes, a lot of it was "written" before the Gospels, which may be one reason it represents Greek Stoicism, skepticism, Platonism... Maybe he should just have been left alone on the road to Damascus.

Well yes absolutely r117. First of all, a lot of it is outright forgery, like half the letters. Decades later by people pretending to be him and trying to settle much later controversies that Paul himself wouldn't have given a damn about. That's pretty much consensus, although like everything else in that period nobody will ever be 100% certain about anything. But pretty damn clear. On top of that, all kinds of interpolation and hey, let's add a line here, and often at best, let's sew a couple of letters together and call them one big letter. Yup all that I'm sure was happening. And that is definitely going to lead to contradictions and weirdness.

And on top of that, Paul himself may have been more than a little nuts. I think he really did think he was having visions and conversations and all sorts of other things going on entirely in his own head. He practically says so, but of course, for him they're all real.

There was some Austrian monk who set him off on this. Article in the Newyorker I believe

Wired it seems

Here

Apparently, Sam Altman met his future husband in Peter Thiel's hot tub. Hmmmmm
