In the podcast, Thiel explained that he believes the Antichrist will present itself as an advocate for regulation, pushing to slow technological and scientific progress in the name of safety. He suggested, with a straight face, that the Antichrist could look a lot like 22-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg.
He’s just getting the jump on his opposition. Of course regulations are the work of the antichrist. The one legal thing that could stop whatever shit he’s cooking up is a biblical boogieman. You better think twice if you want to reign in AI or environmental degradation, because that’s anti-jesus.
Does he really think a lecture series will spread that message? Wouldn’t youtube videos be better? Why in-person lectures?
Also why is he threatened by someone like Greta? Greta has no power. More broadly speaking, the left, however you’d like to define it, is unorganized and therefore has no power. Furthermore any serious actions as of late appear to result in capture of the actors. There’s not a damn thing that can be done unless you want to throw yourself away.
