Peter Thiel is the baddie and Palantir is a company named for an evil surveillance tool.
These tech tycoons seem to have some kind of religion where up is down and nothing makes sense.
Why are we putting up with this farce level outrage?
Gil Duran: "the trump administration is working with Palantir to develop this massive database that will unite the data on every us citizen in a way that has never been done before so an unprecedented tool for mass surveillance and the important thing to remember and I'm actually doing a piece on this Palantir is literally named for an evil surveillance technology from lord of the rings that the evil wizard Saruman uses to try to destroy the hobbits and control middle earth and put the fate of everyone in the hands of the demons and the orcs and they literally give this company a name after this tool that's used for surveillance and evil and now they are trying to do the same thing for the us government and I gotta say i guess the Democratic party passed away sometime in the past year because this is a home run here tell people tell MAGA do a damn ad with a Palantir in it you know show them what these guys are talking about in every way they tell themselves and yet no one seems to be able to make use of that in a tactical way right but I think that just like we did the tesla takedown it's time to put some public pressure on Palantir"
We the people need to inform our elected politicians about this stuff.
Here is a clip from a Ted Talk in 2009 where Peter Thiel talked about the desire for Silicon Valley to get to a “technological singularity,” gave seven potential “disaster” scenarios which might prevent it, and asked the audience which is most likely:
Robots kill or enslave humanity (Skynet)
A pandemic wrecks civilization
Runaway nanotechnology (Gray goo)
Nuclear war
Governments use computers to control everyone
Global warming wrecks civilization
The singularity takes too long to happen
The remarkable thing about this is that Peter Thiel is actively working on accelerating each of these disasters, for fear of the last one where “nothing happens.”
It is quite remarkable. Using a TED talk to start the ball rolling on Accusation in a Mirror is really taking irony to the next level.
My letter to reps:
Palantir is a company named after an evil surveillance tool controlled by the bad guy! It should be completely banned from government contracts to do evil surveillance of the American people. Peter Thiel actually laid out bad things that would happen in a TED Talk in 2009, and now he's actually making those things worse, such as the pandemic, governments using computers to control people, accelerating climate change, and attempting to do away with democracy.
