I think the 21st century will see secular humanism and rationalism merge with eugenics and Promethean Peter Thiel-esque reshaping of the world. @naval is at the core of this. Atheists are going to try to become Gods. And it will create something like a century of blood.

Peter Thiel-esque... seems wrong. I think you mean Faustian. Thiel does say some things like this but it’s not utopian more “Great Man Theory” for him. Read his article, “Against Edenism”

I just read the piece. Surprised to see Thiel in
@firstthingsmag. I think it fits with my perception of him - he praises Faust, and concludes with the idea that the unknown can recede entirely in the order of a new Heaven on Earth. I think it's the archetype of the antichrist.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
As far as Archetypes of the Antichrist I think the Faust may have aspects of the Antichrist but maybe not all of his behavior writ large. His motivations yes tho of course that is a part of the actual story, a deal with the devil.

The Antichrist is a very powerful man. A perverse imitation of Christ. Antichrist has some similarity there not necessarily complete inversion which would basically be Satan.
