All that fluff as a verbal sleigh of hand to twist and reframe CS Lewis' treatise against moral relativism (which proposes as an answer an objective morality derived from the commonalities of global cultures' ethical systems that he calls the "Tao").
Remove the rest of the letter ("In The Abolition of Man...") from this hollow framing, and it would read like a screed against Palantir. Does he have a datacenter hooked up to CS Lewis' grave?

and also Tolkien obviously with the name of the company. I never understood the whole Peter Thiel LOTR-industrial-complex thing that makes a mockery out of the Christian universalism of Lewis and Tolkien. Thiel, Karp and the whole cohort all sound like Oswald Spengler, not like Lewis.
