Description

Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, admits to being an arrogant prick, believing this trait is necessary for leaders who aim to be right, even when unpopular. He criticizes outsourcing of stupidity in corporate and political America, where poor decisions lead to bailouts and bonuses. Palantir, he argues, is an antidote to this culture, with a decade of successful decisions initially mocked. Karp maintains an internal structure of disagreement to avoid delusion, leading to a juggernaut company with impressive financial performance.
