Palantir CEO, (((Alex Karp))), appears to be high on cocaine or perhaps an amphetamine. Company damage controls by saying he was "cross-country skiing" and is just "neurodivergent". (twitter.com)

Pretty funny. Company is trolling everyone with that comment. It's almost like they're rubbing it in people's face that yeah, he's high on cocaine, so what?

In any event, what this incident has led to for me is thinking about why so many people care? So what if the CEO of Palantir is high on cocaine at some book opening? Everyone thinks someone running the surveillance state shouldn't be high on cocaine because that means he could be a bad person. He's a jew, wasn't that enough? But seriously, how many of the same people requesting purity have done coke themselves or other drugs? How many people do you know that don't do drugs but you still wouldn't want them anywhere near running a surveillance state?

I see it a lot from politicians like Zelenskyy, Ardern, Trudeau or Freeland where people see a pic that looks questionable regarding their use of cocaine and then immediately everyone is like: see, they're a bad person. First, I think this is lazy but also it's dangerous in the sense that as soon as a good politician shows up and he's caught doing cocaine, they'll have to digest that somehow and to be logically congruent they'll have to turn against the good guy over something trivial. Donald Trump doesn't drink but if you read his book you'd know it's because he feels he can more easily take advantage of people who do drink if he never drinks. That comes off as far worse to me than a guy who drinks. I'm sure it's not much different on the drug front. Every straight shooter I've met tends to have a holier-than-thou attitude I'd be more worried about in a leader than a guy on coke at a book opening that doesn't fucking matter.

Also, the thing I'm most concerned about here is the leg crossing on the other guy. Are his testicles okay?

Coke is an absolutely atrocious drug for anyone with any power over you to do. It's powdered narcissism, every coke fiend thinks he's God, and he becomes a very vengeful one if you try to push back on any of his many retarded ideas.

Like with all drugs, the user's sober state of mind determines the drug high. What I mean by that is you don't become a narcissist on coke unless you already were one before. It's not a coke problem, it's a them problem to begin with. I've seen coke make people extremely empathetic and kind. If the guy turns into a raging god complex, it's because he already was.

This is why I hate people who overly focus on drugs though. You have a jewish guy in a position of authority but instead of thinking he's a bad person because he's jewish, they'll blame the drug. Oh, if only he didn't do cocaine then he'd have been a nice guy. Hell no. His morality was already baked into his genetics. His drug use was irrelevant. He was always going to be a bad person regardless of the cocaine.

Using drugs as a scapegoat for poor behavior leads to people missing the underlying truth. He's a bad guy because he's jewish. Because his genetics already laid out the framework for him to be a bad guy. The cocaine had little to do with it.

Yeah, there's plenty of reasons not to trust that man (or almost anyone) with the keys to a surveillance state. But there's a gradient to bad behavior, and every extra shitty thing just makes the prognosis look worse for the western world. Being a cokefiend, faggy Jew is even worse than any one of those attributes alone.

Stephen King basically wrote the Shinning while on vacation for a few days. That's why guys like him do cocaine. He also doesn't know how to end a story or think straight. That's the problem with cocaine.
