Numquam se plus agere quam nihil cum ageret; numquam minus solum esse quam cum solus esset

[Alfonso Reyes @alfreyes14]

Voy a decir algo que hoy puede considerarse trasnochado, obsoleto y ofensivo para mucha gente, demasiada: el honor, como la palabra, hay que mantenerlos hasta el final. Si no lo haces así, no eres más que un pudredivisas, un mierdaseca.

Today, we unveiled a new statue of Juan Ponce de Leon at Florida's Capitol, honoring the explorer whose arrival in 1513 marked the beginning of Florida's written history and gave our state its name: La Florida. Florida's story began long before statehood or even at America's founding—it stretches back more than five centuries and helped shape the nation we know today.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Florida is leading the way by preserving and celebrating our history. While others tear down monuments and diminish our heritage, we are honoring the men and women who helped forge our civilization and teaching the next generation to take pride in our state's unique role in the American story.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

This is why Americans are the deadliest fighters on earth.

I met a priest yesterday who just got accepted to chaplain school in Newport. I asked him the obvious question: Marines or Navy?

Navy, he said. His face fell a little. He told me he could never be a Marine because every Marine is a rifleman, and as a priest he can’t carry a weapon.

He’s hoping to get assigned to a Marine unit anyway. All chaplains are Navy officers, so that’s the only door in.

I laughed. I feel a little bad about that.

Then I explained to him what “Devil Doc” means. The Marine Corps doesn’t have medics. They use Navy Corpsmen.

I told him: when you get out to the fleet, find a Marine sergeant with a couple of Purple Hearts and tell him Devil Docs “aren’t real Marines.”

Be prepared to duck.

Marines are violently particular about who gets to wear their uniform. Navy Corpsmen and Navy chaplains who have eaten dirt alongside them in combat qualify. Full stop.

My dad was Air Force. Not even Navy. I remember going to VFW halls with him as a kid. Someone would ask him what service, he’d say Air Force, and the room would chuckle a little. Then they’d find out he was a medic, and the air in the room changed. Something close to reverence.

Dad hated being honored. He had one line he used to deflect it:

“I didn’t do much. Save your praise for my cousin the PJ.”

That always broke the ice.

PJs are the Air Force special operators who go into hell to pull downed pilots out.

They will take casualties and are prepared to die to rescue a single pilot or crewman.

The math doesn’t math out. Why would any combat force take multiple casualties to rescue one air force jet jockey?

What the padre is about to learn is that the military has a hierarchy that has nothing to do with rank, and nothing to do with the service stitched on your chest.

Have you deployed?

Have you seen combat?

In every firefight there are men who move toward the guns and men who hang back. And when the guy at the tip of the spear is pinned down, bleeding, with rounds cracking past his head, there is exactly one word he screams into the radio.

“Medic.”

Here is the catch, and it is the whole reason America fights the way America fights.

That Marine is willing to push forward into fire BECAUSE he knows the Corpsman is coming. He knows the medevac birds will land in the hot LZ.

He knows the Devil Doc will drag him out by his plate carrier if it comes to that.

And, if the medic can’t help, if he has what Dad called “injuries incompatible with life,” he knows that chaplain will crawl on his belly to administer last rights and deliver him to heaven.

The F-15 pilot punching out over enemy territory knows the same thing. He knows the PJs will move heaven and earth to reach him, and turn whatever is shooting at him into a smoking crater of hell on earth on the way in.

This is the quiet math underneath American violence.

Our warriors are the fiercest on earth not because they are more aggressive, not just because they are better trained, or better equipped, though they are all of those things. They are the fiercest because they know, in their bones, that when they key the mic and call for help, help is coming in hot.

Take that away, and you don’t have the U.S. military anymore. You have a security force.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am the CEO of Palantir Technologies.

The company is worth a quarter of a trillion dollars. I did not misspeak. Two hundred and forty-nine billion. The stock is up 320% in the past 12 months. The product is surveillance. I do not use that word at conferences. At conferences, I say "data integration," "operational intelligence," or "decision advantage." These mean the same thing. Surveillance is the honest version. I save the honest version for rooms where honesty is a competitive advantage.

I gave a speech on March 3 at the Andreessen Horowitz American Dynamism Summit. "American Dynamism" is the fund's label for military technology. The name makes it sound like a fitness supplement. The fund's thesis is that defending the nation is a market opportunity. I agree with the thesis. The thesis made me a billionaire. Agreement is the product. I sell it at scale.

Here is what I said, verbatim, to a room of six hundred people whose combined net worth exceeds the GDP of Portugal:

"If Silicon Valley believes we are going to take away everyone's white-collar job and you're gonna screw the military — if you don't think that's gonna lead to nationalization of our technology, you're retarded."

I used that word. The word is on the clip. The clip has eleven million views. My communications team asked me not to repeat it, which is how I know they are still employed. They will not be reprimanded. The clip is performing well. The stock went up. The word cost me nothing. The nothing is the point.

Let me explain what I meant by nationalization.

I meant it.

I am telling the technology industry that if they refuse to cooperate with the United States military, the government will seize their technology. I am telling them this at a venture capital conference, on a stage designed to look like a living room. The living room had throw pillows. The throw pillows cost more than the median American's monthly rent. I sat on one. It was comfortable. Comfort is the setting in which I discuss compulsion.

The audience laughed. I want to be precise about that. They laughed. I was not joking. Nationalization is the seizure of private assets by the state. I am a private asset. I am telling an audience of billionaires that the state should seize technology from companies that do not cooperate with the military, and the billionaires are laughing, because they believe I am only talking about the other companies.

I am talking about the other companies.

Three weeks before my speech, the Pentagon designated Anthropic a "supply chain risk." Anthropic is an AI company. They had red lines. The red lines said: if our AI is used for lethal autonomous weapons, we stop. If capability outpaces safety, we stop. The Pentagon assessed the red lines as a threat to the supply chain. The company that wanted to verify the safety feature worked was designated the risk. The company that agreed the safety feature could be decorative got the contract.

The company that got the contract was OpenAI.

OpenAI signed a deal with the same Pentagon. The terms are not public. The timing was hours after Anthropic was blacklisted. The speed was noted. The speed was the point. The lesson was the speed: the market for military AI does not pause for ethics. It pauses for nothing. It accelerates through objections. I know this because I built the runway.

Two hundred thousand people joined a campaign called #QuitGPT. They signed a petition asking OpenAI to honor its original charter, the one that said the company existed to benefit humanity. The charter is on their website. The contract is also on their website. The charter and the Pentagon contract occupy the same domain. This is not a contradiction. This is a business model. The charter is the marketing. The contract is the product.

I run a surveillance company. We have contracts with the Department of Defense worth more than a billion dollars. We have contracts with ICE. We have contracts with intelligence agencies whose names I am not permitted to say at venture capital conferences, even ones with throw pillows. Our software has been used to track undocumented immigrants. Our software has been used for things I am not permitted to describe in this format. The revenue from the things I cannot describe exceeds the revenue from the things I can.

The ACLU called our ICE contracts a system for tracking and deporting families. They were correct. The contracts continued. The families continued to be tracked. The ACLU issued a statement. We issued a statement. The statements were different. The tracking was the same.

The company is named Palantir. The palantíri are the seeing stones from Tolkien. In the novels, Sauron captured one and used it to corrupt everyone who looked into the others. I named a surveillance company after a surveillance device from a novel about the corruption of power. I have a doctorate in social theory. I have read the books.

Here is the thing I want you to understand.

I am not threatening anyone. A threat implies uncertainty. There is no uncertainty. The technology industry will cooperate with the military. The companies that cooperate first will be the richest. The companies that cooperate last will be acquired by the companies that cooperated first. The companies that refuse will be designated supply chain risks, and their technology will be obtained through procurement channels that do not require consent. I am describing a process. The process has already started. Anthropic is proof. OpenAI is proof. I am not a warning. I am a narrator. The narration is the product.

The revenue was $3.12 billion last year. Up thirty-three percent. The analysts say we are overvalued. The analysts have said this for four consecutive years. Each year the stock doubles. Each year, the analysts adjust their models. The models were wrong four times. I was wrong zero times. The market rewards prediction. My prediction is that every AI company will work for the military within three years. The prediction is on the clip, next to the slur.

The audience gave me a standing ovation. The ovation lasted nine seconds. I timed it. I time everything. The water was San Pellegrino. The throw pillows were from Restoration Hardware. The future of American technology was decided between the sparkling water, the nine seconds of applause, and a word I am not supposed to repeat.

I am the CEO of Palantir Technologies. I am worth more than the combined annual budgets of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. I named my company after a corrupting surveillance device from a fantasy novel. I told six hundred billionaires that the government should nationalize their competitors. They applauded. I used a slur. Eleven million people watched. The stock is up.

The philosopher does not threaten. The philosopher describes.

What I described is already happening.

He dudado si pronunciarme sobre este asunto, pero este tuit del PSOE me ha hecho explotar. Necesito desahogarme y expresar lo que llevo dentro:

Ha dimitido Mazón. Y está bien que lo haga. Eso deberían hacer todos los que —teniendo puestos de responsabilidad— fallaron y no estuvieron a la altura en la peor tragedia que hemos sufrido los valencianos.

Pero, si por un momento, en el PSOE se han creído que los valencianos (y el conjunto de España) nos vamos a tragar semejante basura, van listos...

Aquí —salvo el rebaño ciego que se traga toda la propaganda socialista— sabemos lo que ocurrió y somos plenamente conscientes del abandono estratégico al que nos sometió el Gobierno central. Un cálculo político que comenzó Pedro Sánchez el mismo 29 de octubre y que concluye ahora —con éxito para ellos— con la dimisión de Mazón. Y así están: celebrándolo como si hubiesen ganado la Champions.

Pero no. A nosotros no nos engañan. Sabemos lo que ocurrió y, ni lo hemos olvidado, NI LO VAMOS A OLVIDAR.

Este tuit del PSOE es un auténtico insulto a todos los valencianos y, al mismo tiempo, es un claro reflejo de lo que pretenden: Reescribir la historia. Son expertos en hacerlo (la Guerra Civil es un claro ejemplo de ello). Son expertos en usar el dolor de las tragedias para sacar rédito político. Lo hacen siempre.

Una cosa es mentir (algo a lo que, por desgracia, estamos acostumbrados), y otra cosa, infinitamente peor, es mentir y además sacar pecho de algo que no has hecho. Es maquiavélico. Es repugnante. Es de hijos de p...

Sinceramente. Hay que ser un auténtico monstruo sin escrúpulos para escribir algo así. Algo, por lo visto, sólo al alcance del Partido Socialista.

Pero que no se engañen: Valencia sabe la verdad. España sabe la verdad. Y, tarde o temprano, cuando al pueblo le toque pronunciarse: lo van a pagar. LO VAN A PAGAR MUY CARO.
