“For a lot of people who studied computer science and expected a stable six-figure path, the ground feels like it’s moving.” atlas host Members of Technical Staff says: “Because so many of us in San Francisco are engineers, we index off our own experience. If my workflow has changed...

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “The West, as a notion and as a principle upon which it is executed is obviously superior. And not acknowledging that—because by not acknowledging it or denying it, you could pretend you were smarter or better than you were—has led to enormous problems in our society. And also for the sake of humanity. We have been blessed with a resource called talent and talent management and software production that no other country has. So what does that mean for us? What does it mean for the world? How do you manage that ethically? And how do you prevent what we had—essentially we had a pagan religion that has infiltrated our universities. And that pagan religion basically says everything that’s good about America, everything that actually works, is ipso facto bad. And, by the way, you can’t talk about it not working because it’s a religion. So what? It’s not even—it’s a new religion. It’s not an old great religion like Judaism, Christianity, Islam. It’s a new religion. And the tenets are: West is bad. Nothing can work. If it works, it’s bad. And that way of thinking has corroded every aspect of our society. Last but not least, it leads to a situation where you get a complete corrosion of all institutions and into a legitimacy crisis, so no one actually believes anyone’s an expert. In the 50s, there was this famous professor, Ken Arrow, and if Ken Arrow said you were smart, you got tenure. And why did that happen? Because people knew Ken Arrow is smart. The institution he represents is the best in the world. The only thing like that currently in tech is a Palantir degree. If you work for Palantir, everyone knows you’re good. And that’s basically it. Like when we went to school, the schools actually had credibility. The science was actually science.”

YOKO ONO: ONOCHORD, VENICE, 2004 Yoko: The world is divided in two industries. One is the War Industry and the other is the Peace Industry. The people in the War Industry are totally together. They don't have to talk to each other, even. They know exactly what they want to do. They want to go out there, kill and make money. But the people in the Peace Industry, which are us - we are so idealistic that each one of us criticises the other Peace Person in the Peace Industry. And we are always just arguing and we are wasting our energies doing that. So let's just forgive each other and see that we are in the Peace Industry and that's all that counts. Even if you are not marching for peace, just be yourself, being a florist, being a merchant, being a talior, anything. That way you're contributing to the Peace Industry. People are just concentrating on fear, confusion and anger. And therefore just for a moment, I'd like us to think about Love. In a very magical, straight way, John and I met in London and from then on we stood for Peace and Love. And when I do this kind of event. Well it is... I was inspired to do it, but I still think that I'm still with John in spirit. John and I created the country called Nutopia. Not Utopia, because there was Utopia as a concept already. And we wanted to create a new concept, so we just added N on it - Nutopia - and as a country. Well, that is the concept of a country. And we all are citizens of that country. And in my apartment in the Dakota Building, we put a little plaque on the back door, the kitchen door. It says 'Nutopian Embassy' and even now we have that. (laughs). Nutopia exists in our minds. And because of that, some people want to rebel against it. The reason some want to rebel against it is a good proof that it exists. I think that it was a terrible thing that happened in Chechnya. But we have to still keep our hopes up. And instead of giving up, we have to keep on sending the message of Love to each other. You say that I am the Ambassador of Peace. We are all Ambassadors of Peace. You are too. Everybody in this room are Ambassadors of Peace. Just the fact that we are not participating in War. The fact that we are here, and we are what we are, means that we are in the Peace Industry. All of us. John and I used to say that our apartment in the Dakota is a conceptual monastry, just for the two of us. And when we go out of the Dakota, we get so many people communicating with us, so it's very important that we had silence and quietness. And my apartment is a very small space compared to the world. And I need that for my peace of mind. You should be kind to each other. You should come together, hug each other, love each other, express our love to each other and we should make it work. We should finally create a world that is a totally an Earth for Us. So let's do it. Yoko Ono, OpenAsia Press Conference, whilst exhibiting Onochord, 2004 by Yoko Ono (Nutopia) at the Venice Biennale: OpenAsia 2004, Lido Di Venezia, Venice, Italy, 9 September 2004.
