I've never felt better about denying that Palantir internship in 2010. Chances are I would have become a fully embedded psychopath by this point.

One change they suggested was to limit the audits performed each year to one. A single person whose name was drawn at random gets an intensive Mega-Audit™

Weight the chance of being drawn by wealth and give Mega-Fines to offenders and I'd be down for it

Lobby to get rid of government bureaucracy like Theil so you can have your delivery boy get you the info so you can sell it. Ideal.
