"Palantir Technologies and CEO Alex Karp released a 22-point manifesto in April, arguing that national service should be mandatory. The call comes amid Palantir's push for AI-powered weaponry and closer ties between Silicon Valley and the U.S. defense sector, Fortune reported. I don't understand why anybody would wanna support that, Rogan continued. That sounds crazy. Especially after this Iran war where everybody's like, Why the f*ck are we in Iran?' And if you signed up for that? That sounds nuts."
"After staffers provided Rogan with an article about Palantir's public call for conscription, the host continued, Why the fuck would a tech company be saying that we need to move toward a universal national military service?

Palantir Technologies and CEO Alex Karp released a 22-point manifesto arguing that national service should be mandatory, including reintroducing conscription for Americans. The proposal is framed as part of Palantir’s broader push for AI-powered weaponry and tighter connections between Silicon Valley and the U.S. defense sector. Joe Rogan reacted with anger, questioning why a tech company would advocate universal military service and criticizing the idea of drafting children into wars. He argued that wars since World War II have rarely made sense and described the proposal as frightening. Marcus King agreed that the idea of using technology to reduce wars would be a better goal than training kids to shoot people.
