I’ve never felt better about denying that Palantir internship in 2010. Chances are I would have become a fully embedded psychopath by this point.

One change they suggested was to limit the audits performed each year to one. A single person whose name was drawn at random gets an intensive Mega-Audit™

Weight the chance of being drawn by wealth and give Mega-Fines to offenders and I’d be down for it

They probably will, but in ascending order.

Palantir is straight-up evil.

Lobby to get rid of government bureaucracy like Theil so you can have your delivery boy get you the info so you can sell it. Ideal.
