Palantir is a company created so that peter thiel, the spawn of hell and the final boss at the end of the right side of the political compass, could use his wealth to influence to manipulate the country into becoming a sick fucked up ULTRA far right ideology. He has literally admitted that he knows his political opinions are too extreme for the country and that he has to manipulate us to achieve his goal. The company is named after a fucking evil seeing stone from lord of the rings for fuck sake. Palantir accusing doctors of following ideology is the pot calling the kettle black. Also since peter thiel is literally the devil we shouldn't listen to what he says.
The stones themselves weren't evil. They were controlled by evil and corrupted by its presence.
The Palantirs werent technically evil, they were just stones that let you see the truth, it's just the strong holders could manipulate what was seen through them by the weak holders to bend the truth seen.
In that respect the company is pretty aptly named, the owners (strong in the rights of the admin) can warp the insights to fit their narrative and feed those to the clients (weak in the rights of the admin). The problem being that the clients are also feeding huge amounts of data (truth) to owners to allow them to do their work. That data is ours.
Arguably, the naming of the company should at least give any government pause for thought about the reliability of the information provided to them and the true cost of feeding information to them. It's not like the company isn't broadcasting the issues with their system by using that specific name .. surely there's no in depth discussion of how a system like this could possibly end badly for someone who doesn't have completed control over it?!
