Peter Thiel the guy that believes that the literal biblical antichrist is walking amongst us? How much rational thought can one really expect from this guy? I am not questioning AI being a good investment or not, I am questioning this dude's sanity

I expect continued economic performance from a guy who went from nothing to... $25B was the latest number I heard.

Empirically, I don't think Christians do worse investments than us atheists, so rationally speaking I don't think it's much of a factor.

How can you tell he’s a Christian? I only know him by his works.

He wrote a long rant about Greta Thunberg being the antichrist. I think that places him more in the "insane" box than the "christian" one, but still.

The irony is killing me.

He misnomers a very special definition of antichrist that probably would include Greta (anyone who could encourage mass collectivism).

Which would make him hilariously unaware of the irony of the antichrist saying someone else is the antichrist.
