AI-based defense contractor and creepy tech giant with a clear interest in more wars also says we must not be rude to our technocratic overlords.
Palantir Technologies released a 22-point manifesto over the weekend in which the tech giant and major defense contractor called for a return to the military draft, arguing that wars should be fought equally in an age where more and bigger wars are likely to occur.
Palantir’s 22 points were billed as a summary of company co-founder Alex Karp’s 320-page book,The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West.

Karp, the billionaire Palantir CEO, co-authored the book with the company’s head of corporate affairs, Nicholas Zamiska.
“Because we get asked a lot.The Technological Republic, in brief,” the companypostedon X.
The ideas in the manifesto reflect Karp’s bizarre belief that the tech industry has been insufficiently supportive of U.S. national security.
One of the book’s bombshells is the suggestion that the U.S. should reinstitute forced conscription of young Americans into the military.
“We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost,” bullet point number six of the summary reads.
Just as tech companies must be conscripted to serve national interests, so must individuals, Karp says, adding: “National service should be a universal duty.”
