Palantir - The Eye of Sauron

From Myth of the 20th Century Myth of the 20th Century - "Only the truth is banned."

In the words of Alex Karp, long standing CEO of Palantir Technologies, “the atomic age is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.” Subject of a new biography ‘The Philosopher in the Valley’ and his own book ‘The Technological Republic’, Alex Karp lays out his vision of defending America with technological hard power, a recognition that our enemies are real and must be deterred through superior capability, and realigning our culture around national pride and loyalty to the republic. Controversial amongst a wide range of Americans from progressive liberals on the left and dissident thinkers on the right, Palantir has nonetheless played a growing role in identifying potential threats to the American order from battlefields in Ukraine to conflict in the Middle East. Many see the type of data analysis, simulation and prediction tools Palantir specializes in as essential for the coming wars with near-peer adversaries like China as cyber and drone engagements take the place of more conventional conflicts, but others fear the abuse of such systems against the populations of American and allied citizens. From the perspective of this show and our guest Lance from Lance’s Legion, we generally believe that the peril does not necessarily lie in the new technologies themselves, but rather the people entrusted to wield them if they do not sufficiently share the bond of blood, faith, and/or loyalty to an ideal that our nation was built upon.
