My late friend who was a BFF of Peter Thiel because they were Stanford chums, used to describe Palantir as an evil company wrapped up in Harry Potter metaphors despite taking money from them as a consultant. I see nothing but confirmation bias here. Commence the downvotes for even mentioning this.
- programmarchy 5y agoYou deserve the karma hit for mistaking Tolkien with Harry Potter.
- KptMarchewa 5y agoThere is also Anduril. I have no idea why those people love Tolkien so much.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoMaybe because the world looks like a middle earth battle between good and evil to them.
- varelse 5y agoHis words not mine and since he's dead there's no opportunity for clarification here. Also, I used to see them wandering downtown Palo Alto dressed as monks or as people from The Matrix etc. The LARP was indeed strong with these folks.
