Entertaining discussion.

So Peter Thiel, famed for various things but among them helping build better systems for authoritarian (or wannabe authoritarian) regimes to monitor their populations, is afraid of an authoritarian regime brought on by...environmentalists. And somehow those environmentalists, who have relatively little power or authority in our world, are going to bring us under the control of the Antichrist.

At this point, I'm pretty sure the only ones acting antichrist-y, are the ones using technology to further their desires for top-down orchestration of nations.

Every major tech company executive qualifies in that regard. Bout time for another Tower of Babel moment methinks.

Fun fact, Peter Thiel is an anagram for "The Reptile".
