Palantir has NHS, defence and surveillance contracts.
Its CEO has now published an āanti wokeā manifesto praising military power, AI expansion and efficiency while dismissing progressive values.
This is not just about one billionaireās politics.
It is about who is building the systems governments will increasingly use to monitor, sort and make decisions about people.
Disabled people should be paying attention.
Because when human need is filtered through data, the question can quickly become less about support and more about cost, compliance and manageability.
That is the digital age shadow of eugenics: not openly deciding who matters, but quietly deciding whose life is worth the resource.
And it never stops with disability.
Black and brown communities, poor families, migrants, neurodivergent people and anyone already pushed to the margins are always first in line when systems start measuring human worth.
Technology is not neutral inside unequal societies.
It learns our biases.
Then scales and amounts them.
