Palantir CEO defends surveillance tech as US government contracts boost sales
Palantir Technologies, CEO Alex Karp defended the firm's surveillance technology as it reported a big jump in sales on Monday, saying it has safeguards to prevent government overreach, without mentioning U.S. immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota that have drawn widespread protests.
The data analytics company said revenue derived from the U.S. government spiked 66% in the fourth quarter from the year-ago period to $570 million. Total sales of $1.41 billion exceeded analysts' estimates and the firm anticipates a big jump in sales, in part due to government contracts in 2026.
Celestial Intentions: Comets and the Horns of Moses
...in the beginning of such times of trouble, people want to believe that their government - their kings and ruling elite - are powerful enough, or pure enough, to control nature such that the floods, wildfires, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions cease and all returns to normal. And the ruling elite take advantage of this during such times by trying to find likely scapegoats in other nations, some minority group in their own country, or their personal enemies - including those who are pointing out that it just might be their corruption that is bringing on all the evils - so as to distract the larger populace from their own possible sins of commission or omission. This means that such a period can include protracted wars and the accompanying necessary burden of taxes, persecutions of this group or that group, generally increasing social hysteria and unrest, until finally, one day, the people, as a whole, wake up and see that their rulers have behaved very badly and all the blame gets dumped on them. This is ironic because an anthropocentric worldview where man believes he is in control stops people - even people in power - from being aware of the realities of our existence on this planet which include civilization destroying cosmic events.
I think that is an excellent idea. A conceptual model first and then figure out how to include probability distributions.I would suggest that the forum has sufficient elements for fashioning its own predictive model - I am sure it's something that which could be done; otherwise, if not heading towards a "predictive model", I assume we could tailor a really solid & objective model with for instance the elements I wrote above:
I have this weird sense that what we as a global network could do if we choose to is-
1.Understand the system I.e. how our reality functions. That’s been Laura’s and Arks main mission.
2. Provide information to others to learn- the Fellowship and the Forum (as opposed to Quorum).
3. Build the model for reality based on our Understanding and then introduce new variables (information). I.e. The new information comes from our free will and desire to align with creative principles of DCM, STO. This new information from free will increases the density of our reality as densities relate to information. Adding another column to the Matrix, increasing the sub space we exist in.
4. This new model then introduces into the human collective consciousness how a world of free will and STO would come about.
5. Understanding the mechanisms imparts a believable potential reality that as more people become exposed to it proportionately it becomes more probable.
What do we think?
Any value in that idea?

Yes, may be too big a task as you outlined but perhaps it could evolve into something useful.Let us see if the idea is worth exploring
