Peter Thiel is obsessed with the Antichrist — but what does he actually mean when he talks about it?
This week @gilduran.com joins @parismarx.com to discuss how Thiel casts his enemies as the Antichrist to distract from Silicon Valley’s anti-human project.

Even the claim that crypto is needed as a hedge against a possible collapse of the dollar is dubious - gold & other precious metals & commodities work quite well.
Crypto serves fascism & transnational crime.

As soon as I heard Peter Thiel was doing lectures about the Antichrist, I figured it was time to talk with @gilduran.com again — and he did not disappoint.
This is a great conversation not just about the Antichrist talk, but the broader project of Thiel and his fellow tech billionaires.

This podcast ep about Thiel and the tech bros' reach for divine powers is smart and actually hopeful about being able to defeat them.
