Episode notes
Faith Framed To Serve Tech Interests
- Peter Thiel founded ACT 17 to engage tech elites with Christianity while avoiding ethical scrutiny of tech practices.
- Dan McClellan and Dan Beecher argue the movement reframes faith to protect investor interests rather than challenge them.
Selective Scripture To Support Apocalypse
- Thiel links modern tech trends to apocalyptic warnings but selectively cites scripture to support his view.
- Hosts show his use of 1 Thessalonians 5:3 misrepresents the text to claim the Antichrist's slogan is "peace and safety."
Investment Theology Contradiction
- Thiel opposes regulation yet invests heavily in surveillance and defense technologies, creating a theological and practical contradiction.
- The hosts argue this cognitive dissonance reveals self-serving theology protecting his investments.
