       Nothing against paganism, but did the penny finally drop for people who don’t understand how dangerous fucking Thiel is and, by association, anyone he endorsed or supports for public office?Benanti argues that Thiel's vision, despite a Christian mask, is structurally pagan.[…] He also calls out Thiel’s love for The Sovereign Individual, a 1997 book that taught Thiel “to view technology not only as an instrument of profit, but as a tool for managing the decline of liberal democratic institutions.” Benanti further connects Thiel’s ideas to the TESCREAL movement—“philosophies, championed notably by Elon Musk, see technology as the instrument for transcending the biological and social limitations of humanity.” TESCREAL ideologies like transhumanism and longtermism are Silicon Valley’s true religion. Thiel’s Antichrist meditations attempt to put a Christian mask on these ideas, but Benanti argues that Thiel’s vision is structurally pagan.@tend2wobble#TESCREAL
