    He believes the Armageddon will be ushered in by an antichrist-type figure who cultivates a fear of existential threats such as climate change, AI and nuclear war to amass inordinate power. The idea is this figure will convince people to do everything they can to avoid something like a third world war, including accepting a one-world order charged with protecting everyone from the apocalypse that implements a complete restriction of technological progress. In his mind, this is already happening.

      I’m really so curious where he’s getting all this from, seems like he’s pulling it straight out of his ass, but why? He’s already insanely rich and powerful. What more do these vampires want?

        There are people he has to share the wealth and power with. This is something that isn’t right. That has to be rectified. /s

          It’s just so wild that we’ve allowed people to amass such power, again, we clearly learned absolutely nothing from history so I don’t know why we even bother teaching it.
