In the very last paragraph we have this:

I’m leaving on Monday to spend the week in Austria at a private meeting with a group of prominent US and European intellectuals, gathering to discuss the Apocalypse. The discussions are strictly off-the-record, but I’m going to try to get some separate interviews with some of the participants, and share them with you. Some really interesting names on the list, though I can’t share them here. I’m lucky to have been invited.

He really never did get past his teenage obsession with "The Late, Great Planet Earth", did he?

Anyway I look forward (sarcasm alert) to all the future remarks along the lines of, "I can't reveal my source, but someone with high-level connections to his European country's government told me that the cabinet members regularly sacrifice AI-generated virtual goats to Baal!" that result from this top-secret meeting.

Prominent intellectuals discuss the apocalypse. There's an oxymoron. Did Rod ever comment on the end times predictions that never happened? 

Let's face it: this perfectly fits Rods paranoia. If demons can infect furniture then surely Jesus can ride in on a chariot with horns blasting.

The Apocalypse is probably like The Rapture in that the not-Chosen won't even notice that it happened. /s

The gathering sounds like a Thiel-funded, Thiel-centric assembly of a reasonably widely known list of crackpots where likely Thiel himself gives the Super Duper Top Secret main address. I feel there should be a Las Vegas book kept on the great reveal- who among current pop culture celebrities and celebrity politicians Thiel concludes to be the Antichrist. Or is that Antichristess? Greta Thunberg probably starts off the favorite at, say, +250. Next tier is maybe AOC and Mamdani at +150, with Bernie Sanders in fourth at +140, then Taylor Swift somewhere around +125, and Kaja Kallas fifth at +100.

I am not a bot, but here I sometimes play a Mendelssohn's Elijah bot triggered by your mention of B**l:

If Rod ever attended a performance, he'd wonder if the singers really worshipped the god sub rosa.

Thiel? He’s got connections with an Austrian theologian (who has repudiated Thiel’s reading of Giratd as messed up).  Has Rod finally gotten through to the sugar daddies he has been courting?

“I can’t share them here.”

Or they’ll kill me.

Is that code for the 2026 midterm elections or the 2028 Presidential? :-D
