"Why did young men from Iowa and Kansas risk their lives knowing they could die to free Europe and to free people like me?" "I've built products that, I'm proud to say, have actually changed the course of history - by stopping terror attacks, augmenting civil liberties, and protected our men and women on the battlefield." "I'm also proud that we've dragged, kicked, cajoled and humiliated many people in the corporate world to participate, and now there's a defense tech ecosystem." #Palantir CEO Alex Karp accepts Business Executive of the Year from Business Executives for National Security (BENS).

Palantir is a US tech and security corporation with a terrible track record. They help governments, intelligence agencies, and border forces to spy on innocent citizens and target minorities and the poor. We don’t trust them with our health data, and we don’t trust them to respect the values of our NHS. We call on the UK government to: End Palantir’s involvement in the NHS as soon as possible and not award them any more contracts Consult on alternatives which respect patients and protect our public NHS
Sycophancy aside, you "dragged, kicked, cajoled and humiliated many people in the corporate world to participate" because the gatekeepers had it coming at hyper speed. Since 1776 and counting, when the gatekeepers are faced with intelligence, in all its facets and values, intelligence always wins. The Founding Fathers made sure of that and ASE constructing the technological systems based on the ideals and values of the Founding Fathers helped institutionalized you, Dr, Karp, as one of their most noteworthy successors. .... a neoclassical theorist turned businessman who encapsulated the values and ideals of the Founding Fathers in tech platforms for the US military, intelligence community, and global industries. Now, on to your journey to win the EGOT, Nobel Peace Prize, Pulitzer, and coaching the US Men's Team to win the FIFA World Cup 🖖
"taking the lives of our enemies is something we shouldn't be ashamed of." Karp is the alpha.
''Views of the Israel-Hamas war[edit] Karp has made a number of remarks on the Israel-Hamas war strongly supporting Israel. Karp has strongly condemned the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses, calling their views a "pagan religion" and "an infection inside of our society".[17][25] He further remarked that "the peace activists are war activists".[17] Karp has said that protestors should be sent to North Korea.[25] In December 2023, Palantir announced they would set aside 180 positions for Jewish college graduates, citing alleged antisemitism on college campuses related to the protests.[21]
Wanna make omelettes… gotta break a few eggs. Humanity only progresses through the bravery, belief, and sacrifices of dreamers and dispruptors.. I love this!
Interesting how many times the word “I” was mentioned during this speech. Alex worked his employees tirelessly to the ground while essentially building a glorified excel, containing data that the public will never have access to. Only the government. That’s to be celebrated and recognized? War is a tragedy on all accounts and could be avoided if we put our religious differences and egos aside.
