The gospel according to Peter Thiel: why the tech svengali is obsessed with the antichrist

Here is a 191-word summary of the news article: The article discusses billionaire investor Peter Thiel's recent secret lectures warning about the coming of the antichrist and Armageddon. Thiel, a self-described "small-o Orthodox Christian," believes the harbinger of the end of the world could already be among us, and that international agencies, environmentalism, and technology could hasten its arrival. Thiel has been a prominent figure in conservative politics, with close ties to former president Donald Trump and involvement in bankrolling Republican campaigns. As a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in companies like Facebook and SpaceX, Thiel has amassed significant wealth and influence in Silicon Valley. However, the article suggests Thiel is now using his platform to spread his apocalyptic views, which often read like something out of a Dan Brown novel. The author argues that Thiel's lectures reflect an attempt to disidentify from his own power and influence, despite being a major player in reshaping society and the world through his investments and political connections.
