    Using phrasing such as “necessarily implies” is exactly what makes me call your conversation style “lecturing”.

    Is it normal to talk like this in your circles? In my culture it’s a certain way to antagonize anyone who doesn’t already agree with you.

    I’m sorry if I’m dismissive but I gotta tell you, last time we talked felt an awful lot like being lectured. You didn’t really engage with anything I said but rather regurgitated endless theories and facts.

    And you are a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist, is that not true? Subscribing to a particular narrative is IMO exactly what “dogmatic” means. I’m not saying it’s wrong, it’s truer than most dogmas. But still a dogma.

    Oh it’s you again. Last time we talked you lectured me about imperialism. I’m not really interested in a lecture today, or any day. We can have a conversation if you want, but I’m not going to subscribe to your dogma.

    So Palantir sells a data management tool and deployment support. That shouldn’t really surprise anyone who knows the first thing about data science.

    The interesting thing about Palantir isn’t what they sell but how they sell it and who buys it. They clearly market their unremarkable software as an autocrat’s wet dream.

    And police and military departments across Europe and the US buy their shit, which says more about those police and military departments than about the software.
