hmm... wonder what J.R.R. Tolkien would have to say about this.

I'm honestly not trolling you on this, but am wondering why Tolkien comes to mind for you?

Palantir takes it’s name from a famous series of books that Tolkien wrote.

Ah... I knew that.

It is interesting that 'Peter Thiel' is an anagram for 'The Reptile'

See that is a very good detail that I hope Mr Thiel can address in his lecture series. Since he's apparently an expert in latent evil demons.

Peter Thiel is a very complicated guy. As a bisexual man I struggle to understand anyone who grew up queer would back the church who told them they were inherently sinful.

Then the extreme projection, if you read the biblical text, Trump is clearly the closest thing America has seen to an antichrist (in present times), he literally makes idols of himself.

Even my extremely die hard Christian mother thinks Trump may be the antichrist. Which I never thought I would hear.

He is an Evangelical, makes sense since most support Trump.

Another high profile is Tim Cook (openly gay, Baptist)

We are all inherently sinful -Romans 3:23

Thiel is a self-aggrandizing twat with pretentions to real power. Imagine a 14-year-old gay nerd waxing philosophic to himself about the "meaning of it all" and you get the picture of who this guy is - only sprinkle in great wealth and some fascism
