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.

    This is so fucking weird.

    People like this shouldn’t be allowed to lead or make decisions that have long lasting effects for millions upon millions of people, or anyone for that matter.

    People like him should be locked in psychiatric institutions. They should be studied for their mental disorders, and helped if possible.

      Yea, we could like, have a system where everyone gets to cast a vote for who they want to lead them, and only the people with the most votes gets to make the decisions! Too bad our society is just run by whoever has the most money.
