I don't think anyone can predict where Palantir will go. They seem to be doing a lot of things right, but cult-like environments always have a high downside risk.
The one thing that makes me think they are on the right track is that they have the backing of Peter Thiel. Anyone familiar with Thiel's personal philosophy realizes that he's highly individualistic, so let's hope Thiel has enough influence to ensure that Palantir doesn't succumb to groupthink.
I wish them well and if they succeed I am sure there will be a lot of spinoff entrepreneurs who go on to do other really cool stuff.
