Peter Thiel, 57, will offer his thoughts on “how his Christian faith informs his understanding of the world,” including the areas of theology, history, literature and “politics of the Antichrist” as part of a four-part lecture series at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, according to a flyer for the event.
Scheduled for Sept. 15, Sept. 22, Sept. 29 and Oct. 6, Thiel’s lecture will explore the theological and technological dimensions of the Antichrist, drawing upon religious thinkers such as French philosopher René Girard, whom Thiel studied under at Stanford University, along with Francis Bacon, Jonathan Swift, Carl Schmitt and John Henry Newman.
Each lecture — which will not be transcribed or shared with the public — is designed to form a “cohesive series,” and admission is only offered to the entire lecture series, rather than individual dates.
The event will also feature a moderated Q&A with Peter Robinson, host of Stanford’s Hoover Institution podcast “Uncommon Knowledge,” and an audience Q&A for attendees to have “a chance to engage directly with Thiel.”
Hhmmmm.
SIR RICHARD Branson was left reeling last night after a talented chef on his private Caribbean island died following a boozy all-night party.
The shocked Virgin boss, 75, is said to be “deeply saddened” after tragedy struck on his exclusive £95,000-a-night Necker Island.
