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.

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.
