If you’re new to “The Hunt for Tom Clancy” this is a pretty good primer on why I got started with the project—Bear In mind this interview was 2019 and I’ve just kept getting weird with it, which I encourage you to subscribe to (if you have already I thank you, and appreciate you)

Alex Karp makes a very good case for how broken graduate education is in American Higher Ed
Palantir CEO Alex Karp says all smart people hide their intelligence: "One of the ways you make it to the top is you hide how smart you are." "Every single person who has shared how intelligent they are tells you how stupid they are."

Karp has a PhD from Stanford. People with PhD’s (and I’m getting one right now) are probably dumber than the general population & just more compliant. Karp is by most real measures one of the dumbest people alive. if you took him out to the woods for two days alone he would die

Pre-race ritual with my Apkallu Swoop ahead of the Apkallu’s soap box derby (I’m rooting for the navy car—an aircraft carrier— since the army didn’t show up, and rooting against the police officer vehicle, the officer couldn’t get in without sawing out a hole for his sidearm)

weird when I was at dinner near here the other day at my regular Monday night spot the secretary of education was eating in the back i spotted her security and asked my buddies at the bar what was up; Feds gonna get up to something in SLC soon, wondering what exactly that is.
Salt Lake City — so this is what a clean, well-run city looks like! Ringed by stunning mountains. 🏔️ I met many fine law enforcement officials here today. I look forward to returning!

hadn’t seen that tie in a while and thought it through and I believe it was immolated in American Fork, which is a shame. The place that sold them closed.

Palmer Luckey and Ben Lamm (the "dire wolf" guy) launched Warhound: $200M to clone and gene-edit military working dogs. Anduril's part: vests, goggles, sensors. "On top of the dog, not in the dog." No equity.
