Peter Thiel's Gospel Part II: Palantir and the Philosopher-King

Dr. Brad Onishi dives into the ideological roots of one of Peter Thiel's most significant ventures, Palantir. Drawing from Thiel’s reflections on Leo Strauss's philosophy and the aftermath of 9/11, Onishi explores how Palantir embodies a tech-driven strategy for national defense. The discussion extends to Thiel's collaborations with figures like Alex Karp and how their collective efforts align with a vision of Western superiority, national security, and technological dominance. This episode also touches on the broader implications of Palantir's integration into U.S. government and surveillance, raising crucial questions about civil liberties and geopolitical strategies. www.axismundi.us www.swaj.supercast.com #peterthiel #news #trump #armageddon #antichrist #palantir #ice #theology #philosophy #politics #religion #tech Learn more about your ad choices.
