PayPal and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel is embarking on an unusual intellectual journey this fall—delivering a sold-out four-part lecture series on the biblical figure of the Antichrist.

        I don’t think it was Ezra Kline. It was Ross Douthat. Interesting Times. It’s a bunch of interviews with modern Right Wing people who are active in shaping the current right wing political narrative. Including UFO people.
