I think you're confused here.

a16z is Humpty Dumpty and Temu Lex Luthor.

The antichrist is Greta Thunberg.

I’m no expert in religion, but wouldn’t Jesus speech be more on the Greta side if he came back to earth today? By like a very very wide margin?

Well, sure, but on the other hand Peter Thiel thinks she might be the antichrist, and he has an awful lot of money which means he is an expert on everything.

He says she’s the Antichrist because she’s against progress and threatens the continued thriving of our civilization. Being antichrist is an archetype.

> she’s against progress and threatens the continued thriving of our civilization.

How exactly does she threaten the continued thriving of our civilization?

It is fine for people to disagree with her worldviews, but labeling her a threat to civilization is an absurd claim.

A civilization that can be threatened by a single person's acts of peaceful protest might be doing something, but it sure isn't thriving.

Given what Jesus had to say about the rich, yes, definitely.

Thiel called one of his companies Palantir which is weird too.

He throwed the moneychangers out of the temple - so I guess he had a short temper for stupid frauds.

The whole "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” also hints at _something_.

But, I guess some very religious people did not got all the subtleties of "Thou shall not kill" yet, do, let's give everyone another 2000 years to process the idea.

(Also, maybe it's hard for a camel, but easier in ocaml ? I'll have to try marketing "Static typing as a way to reach heaven")

He also expelled demons from a man and conceded to their request to be installed in 2,000 pigs. That led to them drowning, causing substantial destruction of somebody else’s property for no obvious practical necessity. The local people become frightened and ask Jesus to leave their region.
