The WSJ piece notably omits that Palantir CEO Karp holds a PhD in philosophy/social theory from Goethe University—home of the Frankfurt School—mentioning only his Haverford BA and Stanford JD.
In which Palantir recruits high school students for fellowships by telling them to skip college because its holds little value and then puts them through a cherry-picked curriculum that oddly resembles… college
The older I get the more I value conscientiousness over raw intelligence or anything like that — when someone has completed college that’s a stronger signal of being able to handle tasks in an independent environment on a consistent basis: www.wsj.com/business/pal...

i know the digital hive mind is broken, but i don't know where to go with this: in the early twentieth century, lenin and others calculated the level of 'energetic concentration' (my word), i.e. a ratio of how many companies controlled how much of energy production. has this ever been tried again?
