Thiel Antichrist Lectures Begin in San Francisco
Tonight, some of the most wealthy and powerful figures in tech will gather in San Francisco to hear Peter Thiel deliver a secretive lecture on the Antichrist. Thiel will launch the first installment of his four-part, off-the-record series on the unusual topic. Other lectures will follow on Sept. 22, Sept. 29, and Oct. 6.
Thiel’s previous public remarks on the Antichrist have blended Nazi philosophy with biblical scripture to illustrate how apocalyptic thinking is weaponized in political struggles. The timing is striking: with the nation at a crossroads following Charlie Kirk's assassination, far-right voices demand sweeping crackdowns on Democrats and the left. Thiel's talks typically examine exactly this—how political demonization and manufactured existential threats consolidate power.
What the hell is he up to? I will have more to say on this soon.
In the meantime, the latest episode of the Nerd Reich podcast provides crucial background. (It’s on track to be our biggest episode yet—with nearly 14,000 people listening or watching in the past three days.)

Wyden Calls to Investigate Thiel’s Epstein Ties
In January, Thiel wrote an unusual Financial Times op-ed in which he anticipated major revelations about Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, as Thiel prepares for his Antichrist sermons, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) is calling for an investigation into Thiel’s financial ties to Epstein. From Gizmodo:
The Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to plague the Trump administration, and on Wednesday, a prominent Democratic senator called for Congress to investigate the financial ties between the dead sex criminal and a host of financial organizations and people, including tech billionaire Peter Thiel.
More:
One of those people, according to Wyden, is Thiel, whose venture capital firm is reported to have previously taken a large amount of money from the dead financier. In June, the New York Times reported that in 2015 and 2016, not long before his death, Epstein invested some $40 million with a company that Thiel had co-founded, Valar Ventures. Like many of Thiel’s other companies, Valar takes its name from J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythos.
