So is Thiel one of the whacko true believers or is it a tool in his billionaire toolbox for overall population control and whatever goals he has like some Bene Gesserit plot?
Having read more from Thiel and his cadre of technofascists that I’d like, I think he’s a believer but in an esoterica, Nazi-occultism way. Lots of neo-Nazi groups love getting deep into the weeds of the occult and esoteric, remixing myth, religion, and symbolism into a world view built for themselves. Does Thiel believe in a literal devil, very doubtful. Does he believe that there is a more abstract, shifting, morally repugnant (to him) force he is in a position to defeat, absolutely.

Whatever gets him his techno-fascist city states is fair game I’m sure.
