Peter Thiel is delivering 4 private sold-out lectures at a club in San Francisco—about the Antichrist.

The article focuses on Peter Thiel's upcoming lecture series on the biblical figure of the Antichrist, which will explore the intersection of theology and technology. Organized by the Acts 17 Collective, the private lectures will delve into the implications of technological advancements and authoritarian control, drawing on the philosophical ideas of René Girard and others. Thiel's interests in this area are juxtaposed with his controversial business ventures, particularly Palantir Technologies, which provides surveillance tools to government agencies and has faced scrutiny for potential misuse. The series raises questions about the role of technology in society and whether Thiel's warnings about authoritarianism are sincere or a means to deflect criticism of his own contributions to surveillance infrastructure.
