Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The CEO, who famously studied philosophy and earned a PhD in social theory, implied in Palantir’s quarterly shareholder letter that these were the kinds of capitalists who gave rise to Marxist socialism.

THATS A REAL THING

During Trump 1 I toyed with making a Twitter bot that would call random things ‘Marxist’ (with a username like ‘marxmywords’ or a similar pun). Decided against it due to the issues with purging dog whistles or slurs, but thanks to Mr Karp I’m starting to reconsider…

His brain is completely fried.

If you read the article and try to disentangle what it is that he's trying to say, it's the sound of a baby crying that other companies (waa) who he thought were his partners (waa waa) are trying to eat his lunch (waaa mama mama). And somehow that is directing his puddle of mashed potato that he calls a brain to latch onto the phrase "siezing our means of production" and that obviously sounds like Marxism, if you don't know shit about fuck.

The CEO, who famously studied philosophy and earned a PhD in social theory,

Oh yeah, his brain is totally fried.

It's just free-market capitalism, Alex.

Misinformation, if his brain was fried his brainworms would be fried too so how then are his brain worms still driving RFK Pacific Rim style from the cockpit?

Did you know that RFKs story about the brainworms is prob a lie as he came up with that during his divorce. His divorce cause he coulnd't stop cheating and bragging to her about it which drove her to suicide. (and even the suicide is weird, as apparently she tried to free herself). And then he also had her grave dug up and moved to an unmarked spot. The guy is so fucking weird. (Allegedly)

Sounds EXACTLY like what two brain worms co-piloting a meat mech would use as their cover story....

If there were two of them he would only be half as dumb as he is.

Everything I don't like is Marxist-socialist

You seem smart, have you considered owning a massive tech company?
