الحياة المبكرة

Alexander Caedmon Karp was born on October 2, 1967, in New York City,[4][5] the son of a Jewish clinical pediatrician father and an African American artist mother,[6][7] Karp was raised in Philadelphia and graduated from Central High School in 1985.[8][9] He has said he struggled with dyslexia from an early age.[7]

Karp earned a bachelor's degree from Haverford College (Haverford, Pennsylvania) in 1989, a juris doctor (JD) degree from Stanford University in 1992, and a PhD degree in neoclassical social theory from Goethe University Frankfurt in 2002.[10][3][5] He was initially advised by Jürgen Habermas, but a disagreement regarding his dissertation topic led to him switching his adviser.[7] Karp's doctoral thesis, supervised by Karola Brede, was titled "Aggression in der Lebenswelt: Die Erweiterung des Parsonsschen Konzepts der Aggression durch die Beschreibung des Zusammenhangs von Jargon, Aggression und Kultur", which means "Aggression in the life-world: The extension of Parsons' concept of aggression by describing the connection between jargon, aggression, and culture."[11][12]


الحياة المهنية

Karp started his career as a research associate at the Sigmund Freud Institute in Frankfurt.[4]

Karp has said he invested in startups and stocks after receiving an inheritance from his grandfather. His success led him to found London-based money management firm Caedmon Group to manage the money of high-net-worth individuals who were interested in investing with him.[2]

In 2004, along with Peter Thiel (who had been a classmate at Stanford) and others, he co-founded Palantir Technologies as CEO.[13] The New York Times ranked Karp the highest-paid CEO of a publicly traded company in 2020, the year the company went public, with compensation worth $1.1 billion.[14]

آراء سياسية

Karp has described himself as a socialist[19] and a progressive, and said he voted for Hillary Clinton.[20] He espoused socialist views whilst at Stanford.[2] He has condemned "woke" ways of thinking, calling them the central risk to his company Palantir, and to the United States as a whole.[21] Karp has called Palantir a "counter-example" to companies he considers "woke".[21]

Views on the United States government

He has said that technology companies like Palantir have an obligation to support the U.S. military.[20] Karp has said that he and Palantir are "active in defending the values of the West" and "our belief that the West is a superior way to live".[21] He has defended Palantir's contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the controversy over family separations, saying that while separations are "a really tough, complex, jarring moral issue," he favors "a fair but rigorous immigration policy".[22] He has said the U.S. government should have a strong hand in tech regulation[23] and that western countries should dominate AI research.[24]

Views of the Israel-Hamas war

Karp has made a number of remarks on the Israel-Hamas war strongly supporting Israel. Karp has strongly condemned the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses, calling their views a "pagan religion" and "an infection inside of our society".[17][25] He further remarked that "the peace activists are war activists".[17] Karp has said that protestors should be sent to North Korea.[25] In December 2023, Palantir announced they would set aside 180 positions for Jewish college graduates, citing alleged antisemitism on college campuses related to the protests.[21]

الحياة الشخصية

Karp lives in Grafton County, New Hampshire.[26] When a reporter observed that he owns "10 houses around the world, from Alaska to Vermont, from Norway to New Hampshire", Karp joked that "You have to reframe that as I have 10 cross-country ski huts."[27][28]

He is described as a wellness fanatic who swims, skis cross country, and practices martial arts. He has stated that he practices tai chi and that it should not be confused with qigong. He keeps tai chi swords in his offices. He is highly skilled with handguns, and a reporter observed him "expertly hit targets...from 264 yards" with a BUL Armory SAS II Bullesteros 9MM Competition Pistol.[13][29][28]

مرئيات

الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة Palantir، أليكس كارب، الذي يساعد برنامج التنقيب عن البيانات الخاص بالشركة آلة القتل التابعة لجيش الدفاع الإسرائيلي على اختيار الأهداف بما في ذلك 18000 طفل بريء... يقول إننا بحاجة إلى إلغاء التعديل الأول لاستهداف معاداة السامية في أمريكا.

لم يواجه المتعصب الصهيوني ألكس كارب أي عوائق مؤسسية في طريقه ليصبح مليارديرا. إنه يعيش حياة من الامتيازات الخالصة، ويجمع أكوامًا من رفاهية الشركات.

فلماذا يخاف من معاداة السامية؟ لأن الأميركيين ينظمون أنفسهم ضد خطته لبناء نظام قتل جماعي يعتمد على الذكاء الاصطناعي على غرار سكاي نت، والذي يتم اختباره حاليًا على سكان غزة.

هذا المختل عقليا وأمثاله أكثر خطورة على الإنسانية من أي قاتل متسلسل طارد شوارعنا.
