It’s okay, I’ve tried to explain what Palantir does on a few threads and always get a decent amount of pushback. So it goes with politicized issues.

So I get a lot of downvotes and lose some imaginary internet points; that’s fine. I’m not attacking anyone, and for the most part nobody is attacking me, so I’d still call this healthy if contentious debate.

Upvoted this because even though I think Palantir is dangerous and that you have argued for an ethical compass I greatly disagree with, I respect that you are willing to share an unpopular view to facilitate discussion of a complex issue.

You are a person I would gladly grab a beer with when such things are a thing again.

Great point. The problem doesn’t go away if you avoid discussion and downvote the messenger. Insider knowledge and perspectives, even (especially) when it comes to the ethically gray area companies, is one of the reasons this site is great!
