Quote of the Moment
If the nation should be at war, then everybody should be eligible for a draft. Everyone, no rich, nobody should be able to buy their way out.
Controversial Takes
- The idea that Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to America and must rebel against 'the tyranny of apps.'
- The claim that American power has provided an 'extraordinarily long peace,' contradicting views on U.S. involvement in wars.
- The suggestion of restoring military prowess to Germany and Japan, which could destabilize global politics.
Is It Clickbait?
Clickbait verdict: Clickbait - Sort of! — Palantir's CEO Alex Karp suggests the idea in his book, prompting a heated debate. However, it's more about philosophical musings on duty and war than an official policy push.
