I do legit wonder about K abuse in this whole crowd.

Anyone hear any excerpts from Thiel’s Antichrist lectures? I’ve never been on the same page as him politically but this wasn’t “wow I really disagree” material. This was “are you… okay, man?” material. It was just askew and bizarre. I’m not a big Thunberg fan either but I cannot replicate the thought process that would lead to mentioning her as a potential Antichrist prototype. And that wasn’t even the weirdest thing, just the easiest to explain.

One thing I learned way back in college: if someone seems like they are on drugs, they may be on drugs.

Either that or these guys are in some weird echo chambers.

I'm not sure they're on K, it's highly disabling and wears out super quick. Most of the things they say sound like microdosed synthetic amphetamines: you're still functioning quite well in terms of thought but all shame and empathy are gone (plus you think you're awesome and get irritated easily).

Source: used drugs extensively.

I know he doesn't like Greta, I don't either.

But I didn't see his lecture, he theorizes that she may be the antichrist? lol

Yes. Robert Evans recently did a decent summary of Thiel's project with ACTS 17 for the podcast Behind the Bastards.
