An emotional story from Palantir CEO Alex Karp about someone helping his family growing up:
“My mom was totally fucked. Someone helped her. I paid them back.”
“In general, people don’t help you, which is totally okay, but the ones that do, are special.”

Read @Seantfischer’s conversation with Peter Thiel: thefp.com/p/peter-thiel-capi…
Shots fired — Palantir CEO Dr. Alex Karp
🔫🔮🔥
"Instead of selling commodity, parasitic software with a massive salesforce, with lumbering, jargon-barring leaders, offering steak dinners and other things we shall not mention... we created direct alignment with our customers.”
Palantir CEO Alex Karp: There’s nothing wrong with being high-T 💪🔮
“The democrats just completely neglect males. There is nothing wrong, and it’s admirable, to be a somewhat-to-high testosterone male.
“I don’t find it very appealing as a dude. It’s a huge problem.”
Anduril Founder @PalmerLuckey on autonomous weapons:
“It’s a lot scarier to imagine a weapons system that DOESN’T have any level of intelligence.”
“There’s no moral high ground in land mines that can’t tell the difference between a school bus of children and Russian armor.”
Peter Thiel yesterday in @TheFP:
“Boomers are strangely uncurious about how the world is not really working for their kids. It’s always hard to know how much bad faith there is or how bad the actors are. I think it’s odd that people thought it was odd that I was complaining about student debt in 2010, when even then the growth in student debt was an exponential process. The national student debt was $300 billion in 2000, and it’s now more than $2 trillion. At some point, that breaks.”
Peter Thiel talking about the rise of socialism, student loans, and high housing costs in 2020:
“There’s a generational problem where it is difficult for young people to acquire capital.

From @anduriltech’s @PalmerLuckey:
What is the #1 job most kids want today?
“It’s social media influencer, next is professional gamer, next is YouTuber… the problem is, you can’t tell kids to follow their dreams when their dreams suck.”
What was the #1 dream for kids in 1971?
To be an astronaut 👨🚀 🌕
“We had just gone to the moon… These guys were fighter pilots, PhD mathematician super men, who were also really good looking and well spoken… the ultimate American hero ideal. For a kid to see that and say ‘that’s what I want to be,’ okay tell the kids to follow their dreams.”
On @theallinpod, @chamath spoke about Peter Thiel predicting socialism and student loan forgiveness:
"This is the first time in years where I've now become sympathetic to student loan forgiveness.
"We have Palantir today saying they're not going to hire from college anymore."

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on open borders and killing fentanyl traffickers:
“If fentanyl was killing 60,000 Yale grads instead of 60,000 working class people, we’d be dropping a nuclear bomb on whoever was sending it from South America.
“At Palantir, we are on the side of the average American who sometimes gets screwed because all the empathy goes to elite people, and none goes to the people actually dying on our streets.
“When you have an open border, it means the average poor American earns less.
“To believe our Constitution does not give us a right to stop 60,000 deaths a year of working class men and women, is insane. This country is right to stop that. To the extent we’re involved in these efforts, I and many Palantirians are proud.”
Anduril’s @PalmerLuckey on the ‘AI bubble’ and building AI rifles and force fields ⚔️
“Anduril Industries — the acronym is ‘AI’
“AI is not THE product, it’s just the thing that makes the product work. I’m selling fighter jets. Submarines. Missles. HUDs. Rifles. Force Fields.”

$PLTR cofounder @JTLonsdale on Europe’s lack of tech companies🔮
05:15 “it’s very easy to break the innovation economy. When I was at PayPal as a kid, there were multiple times when Spitzer here in NY almost took it out. He came very close to taking it out… if he had succeeded, we would not have Tesla, we would not have LinkedIn, we would not have YouTube, we would not have SpaceX…”
“That’s what happened in the EU. In the EU, the regulators are just a little more powerful, just a little more obnoxious, and all the sudden, there’s dozens of companies that would’ve existed that don’t.”
