It was pretty funny to click on that expecting something on Dialectical Materialism and finding an essay on Hegel by a VC that co-founded Palentir no less. This idea of dialectics is very powerful, and his reasoning is sensible. I wonder how he balances helping build an omnipresent surveillance state unknown in human history with the moral principles he espouses.

Unrelated, I wonder if dielectrics (a material that polarizes in an electric field) maybe were named by scientists aware of philosophy that made a pun.
