The naming conventions of Peter Thiel's companies, such as Palantir and Mithril, are linked to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and the "One Ring" symbolism of total control. The host explains that Thiel's obsession with the Antichrist is not new, but a lifelong interest rooted in his German-Christian upbringing. The segment plays the intro to the Lord of the Rings film to illustrate the concept of a master tool used to dominate all life.
