          He co-founded Palantir with Alex Karp (and others). This article is about Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir. Peter Thiel is a chairman of Palantir’s board, not CEO.

          Ah, you thought I meant it like… oh no, my thought was more like, leave him without water, soon he’d be desperate enough to drink the olive oil, giving him worse shits, and when he couldn’t take it any more the handgranade was his way out.

          Why a handgranade and not a gun with a single bullet?

          Because I don’t want to litter weapons for anyone to get, I wanted something that would destroy itself when used.

            But why give him an easy way out. Make him live through the whole experience until he dies painfully.

              At this point I’d be happy if the ghouls ruining the world died in an intense euphoria, as long as they were gone.
