CAN WE GET PETER THIEL LECTURE OF ANTICHRIST?
Thiel's Antichrist lectures are real, documented, and escalating in scope — four-part series delivered in San Francisco (late 2025), Rome, and Nashville (September–October 2026). They are not public: $100 tickets, no-phones policy, undisclosed venue locations. Leaked recordings and transcripts have surfaced via Politico's Decoded newsletter. The lectures draw heavily on Carl Schmitt, biblical theology, and Thiel's techno-eschatology.
Evidence
- Per Politico's Decoded (October 8, 2026), exclusive recordings of Thiel's Nashville lectures were obtained despite a strict no-phones policy.
- Thiel reportedly names Barack Obama and Pope Leo as contemporary instantiations of the Antichrist archetype, accusing them of weaponizing public fear of AI for political consolidation.
- Per Politico, Thiel stated: 'Obama knows the Democrats have no ideas, but they can at least oppose AI.'
- The lectures engage extensively with Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt's theory of the political, per the Spoken.md transcript of the Politico episode (October 8, 2026).
- The San Francisco lecture transcripts (all four) were obtained by Politico; Nashville recordings exist in partial leaked form.
