Upvoted this because even though I think Palantir is dangerous and that you have argued for an ethical compass I greatly disagree with, I respect that you are willing to share an unpopular view to facilitate discussion of a complex issue.

You are a person I would gladly grab a beer with when such things are a thing again.

Great point. The problem doesn’t go away if you avoid discussion and downvote the messenger. Insider knowledge and perspectives, even (especially) when it comes to the ethically gray area companies, is one of the reasons this site is great!
