As Palantir continues to expand its reach, concerns about its role in facilitating targeted killings and oppressive surveillance grow. The company’s collaborations with military agencies, especially in Israel, have raised alarms about its technology being used for extrajudicial actions that contradict international humanitarian laws. Observers fear that Palantir’s capabilities could enable governments to monitor, control, and eliminate opposition movements, both domestically and internationally. The author argues that the ongoing partnership between Palantir and powerful governmental entities signifies a shift towards a more authoritarian model of governance, where technology serves not just to enhance security but to maintain the status quo and suppress dissent. The discussion surrounding Palantir encapsulates broader fears about the intersection of technology, surveillance, and power in modern society, making it a focal point for debates on civil liberties and the future of democracy.
The above is a single paragraph from an AI summary of the article at this link
Spying on everyone and killing anyone you deem to be a threat for whatever reason you like is the ultimate Kill-Or-Be-Killed (KOBK) move. This is where we are headed.
KOBK game theory is primarily a military game theory. It covers the psychology, morality, aims, and methods of players who are involved in any sort of power struggle. Its main premise is that players in KOBK conflicts, by definition, do not know for certain how powerful they are vis-a-vis their adversaries or how powerful their adversaries are. Moreover they do not know for certain the aims, motivations, and/or methods of their adversaries.
These conditions force all adversaries to kill-or-be-killed. They must kill their adversary or be killed by them. Kill does not necessarily mean death. It just means to render their adversary provably powerless. Joe Biden was ousted as a presidential candidate against his will. In the KOBK sense, he was ‘killed’.
The more paranoid and crazy the KOBK players are, the more dangerous they are to themselves and others. The linked article above claims: ‘Alex Karp, Thiel’s partner, is first and foremost, an anti-White Zionist and Leftist whose contempt for humanity and dissent knows no bounds’. If true, Karp’s aggressive stance will stimulate rival KOBK players to equal levels of fanaticism. Jewish Supremacism, which Karp appears to be embody and support is especially dangerous for its cultish practice of actual violence against all enemies, both real and imagined. ABN
