In his latest interview, Alex Karp confirms precisely what I argued before: he still identifies with the political left, while Peter Thiel remains firmly on the right.

JD Vance sounds remarkably Schmittian here. Secularism doesn't get rid of religion, it simply replaces it. As Carl Schmitt put it, the modern state still speaks the language of theology, it has just secularized it. Secularism is another ideology, not a neutral ground.

I can assure you Thiel got this from Heidegger. Very smart guy. But he doesn’t cite him because he would have to admit that hyper-specialization is a manifestation of the dominance of calculative thinking and the logic of technics in modernity.

This was bound to happen eventually: Žižek presents Peter Thiel as proof that progressivism can be appropriated by neo-fascist libertarians. He also claims Thiel introduced JD Vance to Girard’s work. Žižek has entered into a direct intellectual confrontation with Palantir.

Thiel is right to argue that Schmitt and Machiavelli saw human nature as inherently problematic and prone to violence. This anthropological pessimism lies at the core of political realism. The contradiction is that a libertarian embraces this diagnosis while simultaneously seeking to undermine the very institutions that political realism regards as essential for containing human conflict and preventing disorder.

Curtis Yarvin's analogy between contemporary Europe and Greece under the Roman Empire is a good one. But it's worth remembering Horace's famous line: Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit (Captive Greece captured her fierce conqueror.)

It's no surprise that Musk believes in Spinoza's God. The technocratic worldview rests on the conviction that reality is governed by a rational, intelligible order that can be progressively understood. That faith in Nature's inherent intelligibility is profoundly Spinozist.

I always say that Peter Thiel is one of the most perceptive minds in tech. This clip shows him using political theology to challenge modern institutions and governments through Girard's "I See Satan Fall Like Lightning". Nothing in this interview is accidental.

In Israel, Tel Aviv, at dawn, thousands of ravens appeared, a phenomenon that, in an esoteric reading, may signal entry into the alchemical phase of "nigredo", where collective identity begins to decompose and forms descend into the dark night of matter.

JD Vance discussing Peter Thiel makes clear how deeply his Christianity was shaped by him. Thiel led Vance out of atheism. He was far more than an investor, he was his mentor. Remember: As Vice President, Vance is the most powerful Catholic in the Trump administration.
