The Mona Lisa is a famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, a Renaissance artist and scientist. The painting depicts a woman with a mysterious smile and a landscape background. One of the reasons why the Mona Lisa is so admired is because of its use of the golden ratio, a mathematical proportion that is considered to be aesthetically pleasing and harmonious.
The golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion, is a ratio of approximately 1.618 that can be found in nature, art, architecture, music, and geometry. It is expressed by the Greek letter phi (Φ) and can be derived from the Fibonacci sequence.
The golden ratio can be seen in the Mona Lisa in several ways. For example, if a rectangle bounds the face and this rectangle is divided by drawing a line across her eyes, it creates another golden rectangle. The result is that the ratio of the length of Mona Lisa’s head to her eyes is also that of the golden ratio. Another example is that if a triangle is drawn from her chin to her eyes and to the top of her head, it forms a golden triangle, which has angles of 36°, 72°, and 72°. The golden triangle can also be found in other parts of the painting, such as the shape of her nose and mouth.
Da Vinci was fascinated by the golden ratio and its connection to nature, art, and geometry. He illustrated a book called The Divine Proportion by Luca Pacioli, a mathematician and friend of Da Vinci. The book explores the mathematical and artistic properties of the golden ratio and its applications in various fields. Da Vinci also used the golden ratio in some of his other works, such as The Last Supper and The Vitruvian Man.
The use of the golden ratio in the Mona Lisa shows Da Vinci’s skill and knowledge as an artist and a scientist. He was able to create a realistic and harmonious portrait that captures the beauty and mystery of the human face. The Mona Lisa is not only a masterpiece of art, but also a testament to the power and elegance of mathematics.
$PLTR valuation makes ZERO sense
But then why do institutions keep buying it?

I work in BIG DATA analytics and let me share the secrets of Palantir in the most basic way
Palantir has monopoly on Automated Governance, serving as the ultimate Operating System for Data and Global Decision-Making. The world is starting to see the massive benefits of AI agents developed on the Palantir platform, which boost efficiency, drive higher earnings, and outpace the competition. Over time, Palantir will reign supreme among AI agents, with all other AI entities eventually integrating into the powerful Palantir Ecosystem. This is just the beginning.
Think of $MSFT Windows. Before Windows, people relied of MS-DOS (which is another OS) and before that it was CP/M which were really bad Operating Systems. The Tools didn't talk to each other. You couldn't multitask. You couldn't perform Technical Analysis while at the same time executing the trades. You couldn't stream your games on Youtube while playing it. It was limited and fragmented into separate sessions and executable files (.exe). You were LIMITED, much less efficient.
It is exactly the same for all Governments and Corporations and right now. They've grown so big, beyond scalability. Tons of data are being generated by too many programs, locations and departments. Each source of data have different expertise of people with totally separated ownerships and power over the data (e.g. Business Dept. vs Manufacturing Dept).
Just like it was inefficient or impossible for MS-DOS to transfer data from one application to another in real time. It is inefficient to transfer the data from one department to another for a simple decision-making. It takes so much time, resources and too many meetings. It could take days if not weeks to get it done. Why? Because of ownership and qualifications over the data. If you don't work in the Business department then you don't qualify to play with that data. If you don't work in manufacturing department, you can't own the data. So in order to unify the two data sources. You are reliant to different groups. That's only one small example.
Think of your responsibilities in your own household. One partner is probably more accurate on handling the grocery list and school events while the other is more reliable in fixing cars and backyards. As a 3rd person (perhaps an accountant), you would be reliant on each of them to provide the receipts for their own spendings.
This is where Palantir's Ontology kicks in. Voila, it unifies every single data source and specialties within the company.
Think of Palantir's Ontology as a digital map for a company's data. It organizes all the information in a way that makes sense, connecting different pieces of data to each other and to real-world things, like products, equipment, or customer orders.
Imagine you have a messy room with all your stuff scattered around. The Ontology is like a system that helps you organize everything neatly, so you can find what you need quickly and easily. It's a way to make sense of a lot of data and use it effectively.
Palantir solves scalability and reduces big corporations and governments down to its core principles, to make a good decision. With Palantir, it is much easier to grow, digitally.
“There were 5 exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization through 2003, but that much information is now created every two days.” — Eric Schmidt
“Information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine.” — Peter Sondergaard
“Without big data, you are blind and deaf and in the middle of a freeway.” — Geoffrey Moore
Companies don't like to be blind and deaf in the middle of a freeway nor to be underperforming to be punished by the stock market. Eventually, all the data we generate will be more complex and too much for humans to digest them all. We will eventually need a AI to do that job for us but more importantly we need a stable platform for AI agents to stand on, you can't throw an AI agent in the water and expect to swim. AIs need..
ONTOLOGY.
Think of AI agents as Culinary Chefs. The Palantir AI chefs will have all the ingredients and tools in ONE COMMON PLACE to make magic happen, enabling on-the-fly decision-making without the hindrances of bureaucracy or data ownership issues. This unity is the game-changer. Palantir is...
A Super Integration Company
And that is vastly more superior and transformative than the hype of 'AI' You can hire the best Chef in the world but without fresh ingredients and tools, he will never be effective. So that's why it's not just about AI agents, it's more about what's available to them, a unified kitchen full of many ingredients, recipes, assistants and tools.
PALANTIR ONTOLOGY is precisely that Kitchen, an Operating System of Data and Global Decision-Making
Just like how $MSFT has become essential to our every day lives, $PLTR will become essential to every single businesses and governments in the world. It's just matter time. The monopoly is here to stay.
Is $PLTR valuation through the roofs? Hell Yeah, but what's the alternative? NONE
I think it’ll come down to who can utilize the strategies cryptocurrency has created in order to reduce the amount of heat & power consumption of AI driven data centers. . .
Life as a Constant Flux: Heraclitus viewed life and the universe as ever-changing, akin to a river that is always flowing. One cannot step into the same river twice as the water is constantly changing. One cannot experience the same moment twice; everything is in a state of flux.

"The Blackwell architecture platform will likely be the most successful product in our history and for the entire history of computers."
Dear Donald Trump,
Jerome Powell under Biden Administration has created a housing nightmare. If something is not done, investors will control a majority of the housing in America, turning single family homes into rentals.
As you know, interest rates do NOT control pricing, supply and demand controls pricing.
Since the Biden administration raised interest rates home prices are up to a record highest level ever, $419,000. (graph below.)
The average mortgage is now ~$2833/month before property taxes, HOA fees, insurance, and maintenance, bringing the total closer to $4000+ a month.
Go back fifty years; when rates go up, home prices continue up. If the Fed would lower rates to 4%, we would see home prices immediately come down, because supply and demand would go up.
I wrote the Biden Administration with a solution but it would appear they are pushing for the 2016 World Economic Forum agenda, "you'll own nothing and be happy about it."
Higher interest rates have never controlled inflation, its actually creating inflation in housing. And potentially more concerning altered ownership from home owners to investors.
This further exaggerates the housing supply problem. The Biden administration is manufacturing renters when we should be manufacturing affordable desirable homes.
Make Housing Affordable Again 4 Prong Solution:
1) Reduce interest rates for new home owners.
2) Remove ALL capital gains tax on home sales.
3) Create Homeowners Equity Exception Program -
100% future tax for home owners over 65 to sell their home and provide a "seller carry" mortgage.
4) Provide tax credits to rehab homes over 20 years old as long as they are sold to end user.
I would be happy to help you implement this program and good luck Thursday night.

The SEC has announced they are looking at GameStop, $GME options activity for manipulation after Roaring Kitty disclosed his option trades.
For reference, US Congress option trades all the time!
For example, Nancy Pelosi bought $NVDA, Nvidia call options before major bills and news, and is up over 200% on her calls in 190 days.
Yet no SEC investigation.
