"Peter Thiel has begun tying his warnings about " the Antichrist" and an impending apocalypse to what he describes as the "end of modernity," casting climate activist (and Gen Z icon) Greta Thunberg as a central example of the forces he believes are driving Western civilization toward a terminal crisis. In a series of recent talks and interviews, most recently behind closed doors in Paris,"
"In lectures on Christianity delivered to select audiences, Thiel has argued the Antichrist in the 21st century will not resemble the stereotypical mad scientist, but rather a self-described protector who promises peace, safety, and an end to technological risk. Drawing on apocalyptic passages from the Bible, he portrays an approaching choice between a "one‑world state" aligned with the Antichrist and an Armageddon‑style collapse if that project fails, framing both scenarios as live possibilities for contemporary politics and technology."
Peter Thiel connects warnings about the Antichrist and an impending apocalypse to an asserted "end of modernity," using Greta Thunberg as an emblematic example of threatening forces. He characterizes environmentalism, technology regulation, and global governance as spiritual markers of an end-times struggle rather than ordinary political disagreements. Thiel suggests the 21st-century Antichrist will present as a protector promising safety and elimination of technological risk. He frames a binary choice between a "one-world state" aligned with that protector and an Armageddon-style collapse if the project fails, linking these outcomes to perceived innovation stagnation, rising bureaucracy, and greater reliance on supranational institutions.
