Comment on ‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid
alberttcone@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoI think that’s a Thiel thing. Tolkein was was one of his obsessions growing up. It doesn’t surprise me that he saw a plot device intended to be a warning as a really cool idea…

After listening to some of the Behind the Bastards on Thiel’s Antichrist obsession, his names for things are more understandable. Not by being sensible, by his demonstrated tendency to read things and take interpretations from them that make no sense to anyone else.
So yeah I’m sure he’s got some nutso bananas reinterpretation of what a Palantir is, etc.

I mean, Thiel is part of the ‘basically an actual vampire irl’ club, right?
Gets infusions?
