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?
