Welcome to Uncommon Knowledge.

The End Times, Armageddon, the Antichrist.

If you suppose the only people who take those concepts seriously

are snake handlers and the hollers of Kentucky, think again.

Peter Thiel, on Uncommon Knowledge Now. Welcome to Uncommon Knowledge. Peter Robinson. Peter Thiel earned his undergraduate and law degrees here at Stanford.

He was a co-founder of PayPal, the firm that all but invented

FinTech, the first outside investor in Facebook, the firm that all but invented social networks,

and a co-founder of Palantir, the firm that all but invented defense tech. Although he's staying

out of politics, this year, Mr. Teal has had a hand in

launching the careers of a number of political figures, including J.D. Vance.

Mr. Teal speaks often on philosophy, religion, tech, and society,

informs as diverse as the Cambridge Union, the Aspen Ideas Festival, and the

Joe Rogan experience.

You gave Joe Rogan three hours?

Peter, it's about time you came back to this table.

I was trapped for three hours there.

Peter Thiel on the End Times.

Today, by the way, this is going to be episode one of two,

our first conversation on this very large topic. Peter, two

quotations. Matthew 24, 35, 36. Quote, heaven and earth will pass away, but of that day

and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, close quote. Peter Thiel.

We don't know the day and the hour, but maybe we can guess the century.
