As a neurodivergent person in tech let me make one point here:
Alex Karp is a fascist and misogynist who wants you to be comfortable with the same thinking Nazis had about neurodivergence.
He can fuck right off.

I bet Karp isn’t thinking about neurodivergence beyond what he considers “useful” and that is aligned with a very gendered and biased understanding of it.
Neurodivergence is neither a curse or a superpower. It’s just a way of being it has its pros and cons.
Why do we have to be so weird about it.
As far as the reference to the Nazis go, read about how Asperger’s Syndrome came to be. It’s now just considered Autism
But this diagnosis was used to define who could be useful or normal enough to live or be murdered.
Karp is leaning on dangerous thinking here

@annaecook @otfrom so how is Palantir planning to attract people with a strong sense of justice, who are more likely than the rest of the population to understand the source material for their name?
Is he trying to carve out a model minority?
This is some bigoted shit.
