The Antichrist Playbook: Peter Thiel & Silicon Valley Apocalypse Hype


Listen Later

What’s behind Silicon Valley’s sudden obsession with the Antichrist, demons, and apocalypse? Why is Peter Thiel launching a secret four-part lecture series on the Antichrist—and why are figures like Nicole Shanahan calling Burning Man “demonic”?
 
We pull back the curtain with two heavyweight thinkers:
 
• Dr. Robert Fuller, author of "Naming the Antichrist: The History of an American Obsession," on how U.S. culture keeps resurrecting the Antichrist meme—and why it turns political debate into a zero-sum holy war.
 
• Dr. Matthew Fox, renowned theologian and creator of the creation spirituality movement, on how apocalyptic language is being weaponized—and what authentic spirituality asks of us today.
 
You’ll learn: What the Bible actually says (and doesn’t) about the “Antichrist.”
 
How the Antichrist fused with the “Beast” of Revelation in popular imagination.
 
Why apocalyptic rhetoric moves crowds, fuels polarization, and excuses extremism.
 
How tech billionaires’ “religious” branding intersects with power, media, and regulation.
 
Practical ways to de-mystify doomsday talk and re-center ethics, empathy, and democracy.
