Peter Thiel and the Antichrist: Silicon Valley Apocalypse Hype

I agree it's weird nobody is talking about this. Post to a bunch of techs that they're going to spy on their chats you'll get thousands of outraged comments. Post that a prominent billionaire with deep inroads into many areas of the tech industry and governments around the world, not only but specifically including the area of mass surveillance and data collection, might be gearing up to bring planetary scale religious indoctrination online, yawns.

It doesn't stop there. From the OP:

>> "Dr. Robert Fuller: Eric Hoffer wrote a book called The True Believer 60 years ago. How do you become a true believer in a cause? Someone for whom rationality is now gone. It's an all-out emotional—I'm the true believer. I do not question. And he observed something. You can have a true believer, you can have a vibrant fanatic cause without a God, but you cannot have a fanatic cause without a devil. And when we rally around a common enemy, there's cohesion, unity, and all-out effort. The whole concept of the Antichrist or there being some satanic adversary that we must compete fosters a crisis mentality. And with the crisis mentality, now we put aside all other differences. There's a tribal cohesion, a tribal unity, and it justifies even immoral acts because to defeat an evil enemy, a satanic enemy, you must then do whatever's necessary. So it can therefore justify extremism and it can justify what would otherwise be reprehensible behavior is now looked at as even holy, sacred and a duty for the true believer."
