Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire who co-founded PayPal and Palantir Technologies, will soon deliver a four-part lecture series on the Antichrist in Nashville.
The event page says the Nashville Antichrist Lectures will draw from history, literature, art, theology and politics to explore the biblical Antichrist through Thiel’s unique vantage point at the frontier of science and technology.
MAGA-aligned tech oligarch Peter Thiel is bringing his bizarre Antichrist lecture series to Tennessee later this month after hosting similar events at the Vatican and in San Francisco.
As The Tennessean reported, details about the lecture series appear sparse and secretive. The event page describes the series as a closed-door, off-the-record event hosted by The Pamphleteer, an online news publication in Nashville that bills itself as an alternative to corporate and progressive media, and Meriwether Academy, a Nashville-based nonprofit.
That nonprofit says its mission is to grow fraternal networks and educational societies across America with the ultimate goal of developing boys’ schools in every state offering a classical and outdoor education.
It is a curious decision for a Big Tech leader to take such talks to Tennessee of all places, given that the state is at the heart of the backlash to artificial intelligence data centers.
Vice President JD Vance, a protégé of Thiel’s, has also pushed rhetoric about an Antichrist possibly living among us, an assertion that has come as he has publicly derided liberal Christians.
