How to Defeat Facial Recognition

Why Does Palantir Have Such a Sketchy Reputation?
In this video I discuss the history of Palantir and the mindset of its co-founders, Peter Thiel and Alexander Karp. I also explain why their stock tripled in value after the U.S. Presidential election in November 2024 (hint: they received 251 federal contracts in 2025).
Signals and Society Episode 2
This video is based on the Black Mirror episode, "Nosedive". It examines what happens when "reputation scores" drive human behavior rather than genuine relationships. Jails only limit a person's physical movements, oppressive surveillance and score systems limit a freedom expression and ultimately the human spirit itself. Unfortunately, reputation scores are already here.
