That must be convincing.

Good thing you’re such a critical thinker!

Tell me what about the following is evidence of being a Leftie.

From his book and his many, many public appearances, Alex Karp says he believes in defending Western democracies, maintaining competence over ideology, and grounding technological power in accountability and moral clarity.

He rejects utopian thinking and stresses the limits of human nature—arguing that genuine progress requires discipline, responsibility, and a willingness to confront hard realities. He’s vocal about the danger of movements that suppress dissent or redefine “progress” as ideological conformity.

Karp also emphasizes the importance of free speech, open debate, and the ability to question prevailing assumptions without being punished for it. Above all, he argues that freedom and security depend on honest reflection and the courage to face the world as it is.

You've got an opinion. That's all.

What's it based on?

As an aside, I am an investor in Palantir. Not a big position but enough for me to take a very deep dive into what they do and how they are managed before getting in. I made a very careful study of Karp. I avoided them for a long time because I thought they (particularly Karp) might be a bunch of Lefties. They're not.

Am I absolutely certain about my conclusion? No. I have made good money on them, but am keeping an open mind.

If I find out differently, I will sell.
