I believe Sal did!

That’s because we are a part of nature and we leave footprints like everything else. Change isn’t bad, in fact it’s a good thing. It’s why things evolve. The problem is the velocity of change is too fast for other parts of our ecosystem to keep up. It’s like catching a ball. Every little bit counts.

Ooh, I was picturing something quite large and chonky. This makes sense!

All this takes tech investing beyond Silicon Valley into new realms, some of them menacing to many observers. That will not worry Mr Thiel. Palantir is named after a “seeing stone” most often used by Sauron, ruler of J.R.R. Tolkien’s evil empire of Mordor in “The Lord of the Rings”. Evidently Mr Thiel, ever the contrarian, does not view Mordor as harshly as most Tolkien fans do. As he once told a friend: “I’d rather be seen as evil than incompetent.”

It’s a thing.

Tree law is really insane in other places. The UK has a registry of protected trees. Would be wonderful to see something like that after the oroborus is dead.

Why do you think that company is called Palantir lmao. I wish I wasn’t joking, but it is this stupid if you poke around a bit at the neoreactionary obsessions with LOTR.

Not gonna work. They’re living beings like you, that sort of thing causes infections, by the time that a blade would hit something like that, it would likely kill the tree regardless.

I wonder if they used some out of date references…

That’s not on this end and this url was also posted on another news aggrigator without issues. That being said, there is a better site for this I posted in another comment because this one is regionally limited for now.
