What's kept me at @PalantirTech for so long?
Our story of the hobbit and the ring has become even more meaningful to me over the years: the hobbits aren’t the shiny people, they aren’t the ones who are in it for the glory, but once they’ve been convinced of the importance of the mission they are the ones who see it through. That’s what makes a Palantirian a Palantirian. And that's what keeps me at Palantir - to see the mission through!
Dr Karp speaks to this in his book, ‘The Technological Republic’ — the importance of the mission and of stories in uniting groups of people around them with a shared sense of identity.

I have been reflecting on @ssankar's "Technology is the Problem" piece (lnkd.in/eU-SbW64) and wanted to expand on it. To pull ourselves onto a more productive trajectory, we need to be able to commit to the outcomes that actually matter. Currently we are doing the opposite.
Technology isn’t always the solution. Often, it’s part of the problem.
Years of scaling isolated systems bred a “cargo cult” of performative progress.
