Totally not terrifying that there’s a very good chance that we’ll before the end of Trump 2, magazines like Wyrd Science will be required reading to understand why and how the most powerful people in the world are trying to immanentize the eschaton

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

This happens so much in any game, especially with getting older and more tired

Just easier to play less complicated games or just going “yea sure go for it”

Magic (especially Commander) at least allows some back-up-y

Workshopping her next diss track

#Hades2

Fanart of Scylla from Hades 2 dressed in a casual blue and yellow puffy jacket with Chronos' symbol on the shoulder, a grey crop top and grey pants, with her head tentacles tied back in a loose messy ponytail. She is wearing big round reading glasses and is holding a notepad in one hand, looking at it in mild frustration, while loosely chomping the end of a pencil hanging from the corner of her mouth. Her other hand is tucked away in the pocket of the jacket. There are some random bubbles hanging around her.

It used to be every phase of the fight while in EA. You had to unlock an upgrade to use it

They eventually took it out but apparently not all the way

DarkLadyMarie @gategeek.bsky.social · 2d

ah, @supergiantgames.bsky.social couldnt help but slip in that one abelist trick back into the Chronos fight

You can't fucking pause the super secret final boss form. It's cute but life/body don't stop for your game

Literally died bc I couldn't pause

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
