The original tech right power player on A.I., Mars and immortality.

Hosted by Ross Douthat, June 26, 2025

Mr. Douthat is an Opinion columnist and the host of the “Interesting Times” podcast.

From Article, by Ross Douthat: Is Silicon Valley recklessly ambitious? What should we fear more: Armageddon or stagnation? Why is one of the world’s most successful investors worrying about the Antichrist?

My guest today is a co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, and an early investor in the political careers of Donald Trump and JD Vance. Peter Thiel is the original tech right power player, well known for funding a range of conservative and simply contrarian ideas. But we’re going to talk about his own ideas because, despite the slight handicap of being a billionaire, there’s a good case that he’s the most influential right-wing intellectual of the last 20 years.
