The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession (www.wired.com)

Depending on who you are, you may find it hilarious, fascinating, insufferable, or horrifying that one of the world's most powerful men is obsessing over a figure from sermons and horror movies. But the ideas and influences behind these talks are key to understanding how Thiel sees his own massive role in the world—in politics, technology, and the fate of the species. And to really grasp Thiel’s katechon-and-Antichrist schtick, you need to go back to the first major lecture of his doomsday road show—which took place on an unusually hot day in Paris in 2023. No video cameras recorded the event, and no reporters wrote about it, but I’ve been able to reconstruct it by talking to people who were there.

It just gets creepier and creepier as you read on, especially considering it was written in 2019.

The Antichrist will form an alliance with the ruler of Israel and will desire to occupy the coastal area.
