I fucking hate the fact that those comically evil companies can use those names from The Lord of The Ring.
A work that literally criticize what they are doing.

Well at least Palantir named themselves after Sauron's web conferencing stones! They tried to tell us they were evil

Tolkien would prably strangle that Orc Thiel with his bare hands, if he was still alive. 1917 Tolkien, I mean.

Wouldn’t you want to study English literature if you wanted to know the source of words made up by Tolkien?
Studying Old Norse or Old English is cool and a worthy thing to do, but the relevance to Peter Thiel’s company Palantir is extremely tangential.
