Some people might find this episode nate has produced relevant. And a lot of people don’t like some stack but basically on you can listen to the podcast or we watch it through YouTube… Nate has a site separate from sub stack.

The previously released podcast at least on YouTube was a discussion with two psychologist on dark triad personality traits

@benroyce So the Anarchist speaks in terms of the Antichrist to ignite pseudo Christians into turning on regulations.
I worked in aviation for 40 years and we have a saying “regulations are written in blood”. For anyone who fails to understand the meaning, it signifies that regulations are there for very good reasons.
There can be over regulation, but this is not the case. This is an argument against regulation because “it holds back my grandiose plans for greatness”.

@benroyce Thiel only ever removes his mouth from the government’s teat to spout nonsense.

@benroyce Wow. We used to say "unhinged" when talking about them, but this is way beyond simply unhinged.

This is clinical insanity in the purely medical sense of the word. When a person starts talking about "anthichirst" and other such delusionary nonsense seriously, it's a mental health condition.

@benroyce wait, don't they need the Antichrist to get the Second Coming of the first guy?

@benroyce If I actually, for a second, believed that “antichrist” was a thing, I’d consider Peter Thiel a strong nominee for the position. Honestly, I don’t think he’s good for much else.

@benroyce it must be true, be cause he just pulled it out off his... eh, you know where.

@benroyce I don't think he believes it, rather he's cynically manipulating those who do believe in that kind of thing.

@benroyce

Too late:

@benroyce I’m almost curious to know what kind of bizarre chain of reasoning leads to that sort of statement. Almost.

@benroyce if this guy wants the second coming, like most evangelicals, he'll *want* to hasten the anti-christ.

¿\ In his politics -Thiel practices what might be called negative Girardism, supporting political candidates (such as Vance) who can be trusted to practice scapegoating and cultivate culture war

This keeps government dysfunctional and allows Silicon Valley billionaires to continue to shape society as unchecked oligarchs

@benroyce

I knew it was going to turn into a hallway of mirrors. You see the antichrist… this thing that gets in an oblique reference in the Bible, and is only elaborated on outside of it is this, is a real thing because Bible.

In other words, the super rich guy who is heavily invested in AI totalitarianism perceives laws meant to prevent that as the antichrist

@benroyce his listeners need to be told some good old "that's exactly what the Antichrist would say" and they wouldn't know any better either cause they don't know how AI works
