The Straight White American Jesus podcast did a deep-dive on Thiel's thinking recently. It wasn't what I was expecting but then I hadn't previously been paying attention to him. Apparently he's all about tech-utopinism with himself as the King and no regard for the fate of his fellow non-tech-utopian human, as in his mind such people are just holding back human progress.
I haven't watched any of his Antichrist talks but I take it that he's not thinking of this entity in the Christian sense. Instead the Antichrist is a person with some amount of power who is trying to find solutions to mankind's problems using the tools of the old order, rather than through technology and its kings.
If the U.S. ever goes to war with a major adversary, one of the first waves of cyberattacks will likely target infrastructure that rarely comes up in discussions about digital threats: railroads.
