Billionaire Peter Thiel apparently thinks activist Greta Thunberg and AI "doomers" are "legionnaires of the antichrist," the PayPal and Palantir co-founder reportedly said in a recording reviewed by the Washington Post.

The recording is from a four-part lecture series on the Antichrist, aptly titled "The Antichrist: A Four-Part Lecture Series," according to the Post. In the lectures, which were told to be off the record according to the event listing, Thiel laid out his religious views.

Reuters reported that Thiel has become cautious that an ntichrist who promises to stop something like AI will emerge and forge a one-world government. That person would curtail individual freedoms and human innovation.

"In the 17th, 18th century, the Antichrist would have been a Dr. Strangelove, a scientist who did all this sort of evil crazy science," Thiel reportedly said. "In the 21st century, the Antichrist is a Luddite who wants to stop all science. It's someone like Greta or Eliezer."

The Luddites were former textile workers in the early 19th century who destroyed machines used to replace their labor; "Luddite" has become a term to refer to technology skeptics or opposer.

Thiel also referred to Thunberg, who rose to fame for her climate activism and was recently detained by Israel along with other activists on an aid flotilla to Gaza. (It is apparently not the first time he associated her with the Antichrist.)

He also named Eliezer Yudkowsky, a prominent AI researcher whose new book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Diesposes AI as an existential threat. As Gizmodo pointed out, Thiel started funding Yudkowsky's "Singularity Institute" in 2005.

Reuters also recently reported that Thiel warned fellow billionaire Elon Musk against donating to charities.

    1. Hello 👋 Can a 65 year old man find love on here. I've been single and alone for over 7 years. I'm a gentleman. I have good manners. I've never raised my hands in anger against anyone ever in my entire life. So why doesn't any female want to be with me? Do they want an aggressive male? Do they want someone that swears at them. Do they want someone that doesn't try to share their interests? I don't get it. Maybe I'm just too unattractive for them. I'm certainly no oil painting but I'm kind hearted and love animals, particularly dogs. I admire their complete love in their owner

  15. I’m confused-are environmentalists luddites or forward thinkers looking for better ways to satisfy human needs while being mindful to maintain critical environmental conditions? Many “progressive” Christians read Revelation as veiled criticism of Rome. The antichrist would be line of and current Cesear at the time.

    1. Luddites are people who are not in favor of an overuse of technology. It's an old term from the Industrial Revolution when technology took over humans' jobs. Think weaving, printing press, etc. Peter Thiel's fortune is in technology, so he thinks anyone opposed is the enemy.

  20. Peter Thiel is a proven sponsor of the fascism and authoritarianism. The Thiel Foundation cultivates a fear of existential threats such as climate change, AI and nuclear war to amass inordinate power.

    The Right accuses George Soros of funding Leftist violence and protests through his Open Society Foundation but the conservative Capital Research Center acknowledged that they had not found evidence that the OSF had committed a crime.

    OSF supports nonpartisan civic engagement; works to ensure the administration of free and fair elections, promotes fair political representation, and guards against mis- and disinformation.
