Peter Thiel's Antichrist Lectures

> It's me, hi,

> I'm the problem, it's me

- Taylor Swift, 2022

“Who was the Antichrist? When would he arrive? What would he preach? What kind of SaaS offerings will he want to invest in?”

Almost the entire article is about the response to the proposed delivery of his, frankly unhinged, antichrist lectures in Italy.

There's some context at the end about Thiels connections to the Trump administration. This is normal for reputable news agencies line AP, not everybody is as keenly aware of Thiel's influence as hn readers.

Don't you find it problematic that the only reason Thiel can organize these lectures is because he is a billionaire? Is he a bona fide scholar on the subject? Would any tenured theology scholar be welcome to hold the same lectures at the Vatican?

I guess that's what you get for electing an American as the Pope. /s

Takes one to know one.
