Apocalypse Now? Peter Thiel on Ancient Prophecies and Modern Tech (Part 2)

In the second half of our conversation with Peter Thiel, the discussion turns to ancient prophecies—particularly the concept of the Antichrist as explored in biblical and literary sources. Drawing from figures such as Cardinal Newman, Vladimir Solovyov, and Robert Hugh Benson, Thiel reflects on the modern relevance of apocalyptic themes.

He connects these ideas to present-day global challenges, including technological risks, nuclear threats, and the complexities of international governance. The conversation highlights the tension between fears of Armageddon and concerns over a one-world government, underscoring Thiel’s call for critical thinking, thoughtful globalization, and the integration of historical insight into contemporary decision-making.
