Evidence of antiChrist is everywhere—or so says Peter Thiel

Evidence of antiChrist is everywhere—or so says Peter Thiel

dear readers,

"The book of Revelation, for some reason, forgot to mention Greta Thunberg. In its barnstorming final book, the Bible limns what will happen when the apocalypse arrives: earthquakes, sinister horsemen, and hail and fire mingled with blood. But now, in Silicon Valley, new words are being added to those ancient prophecies.

Over the past few weeks, in a series of off-the-record lectures and on-the-record interviews, Mr Thiel has argued that the world has submitted to a doctrine .... It has also submitted to the rule of organisations such as the European Union. As the Bible, Mr Thiel says, states that "the slogan of the Antichrist is 'peace and safety'," it follows that the world risks the rule of the seven-headed one.

Mr Thiel's science is worth treating even more cautiously than his theology. He argues that the world's (and arguably the Antichrist's) enthusiasm for safetyism has led to "50 years of stagnation" in many areas. ...

Others demur. The idea of widespread scientific stagnation is "nonsense", says Martin Rees, Britain's former Astronomer Royal. Mr Bostrom is more charitable."
