Peter Thiel presents the theory of a globalist institution taking a messianic role to curb risks of AI and technological revolution
US-German billionaire Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies, is holding a controversial series of lectures on the Antichrist in Rome this week, prompting criticism from Vatican-linked officials and institutions, according to multiple media reports. Thiel continues to face scrutiny over his ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The invitation-only conference, which began on Sunday and runs through Wednesday, is taking place at a secret location near the Vatican.
The content of the lectures – closed to the media and under tight security – is unclear, but is expected to focus on Thiel’s theory that the biblical Antichrist may appear not as a malevolent figure, but as “a reassuring actor” and heroic administrator aiming to manage technological risks.
This figure, in Thiel’s telling, will use existential fears, like AI, climate change, and nuclear war, to convince the world to unite under a single centralized government.
According to Fortune, Thiel’s vision essentially “blends theological language with Silicon Valley’s anxieties over AI, transhumanism, and decay of meaning.” CNN also noted that the billionaire believes the Antichrist might come “not necessarily as a person but… as a global government system.” (more...)
