Why do you think that company is called Palantir lmao. I wish I wasn’t joking, but it is this stupid if you poke around a bit at the neoreactionary obsessions with LOTR.
Wait, the neoreactionaries actually want to be like Isengard and not like, based trad gondor or something like that? I kinda figured it was just called palantir cause they thought it was a cool reference and cause peter thiel is just naturally sinister like that
The metaverse is named after a VR program in Snow Crash, in which it is a tool that an evil corporation wants to use to brainwash and enslave all of humanity except for some very rich people. My take is that these dweebs will take any power fantasy they can get, and being the powerful evil organization is a lot easier to actually live out than being the lone hacker with a samurai sword or hobbit or whatever who stops them.
