How the early 20th century US Technocratic Movement (with its company Technocracy Inc.) prefigured much of today's Silicon Valley ideas of technological singularity and tech oligarchies, including the US annexation of Canada: my co-worker Eva Visser, tutor at Hogeschool Rotterdam, has been working on her PhD thesis on this topic for many years. It is now more relevant than ever. In this blog post she gives a preview of her historical research:

A sign of strange times when Steve Bannon, of all people, (sort of) nails the description of the Silicon Valley oligarchy and techno feudalism:

I find it highly likely that Elon Musk saw this talk by Nick Hanauer. Hanauer warned in this talk that the rising inequality would lead to pitchforks for rich people or a totalitarian police state, and that this inequality should be sharply reduced.

But Musk didn't opt for that, did he? He opted for the totalitarian state, where people will be the indentured servants of the rich and has been all in on that solution.

The book “sold a staggering 1,000 hardbacks a day in the first three days on sale in the UK, despite Meta’s legal tactics to silence the book’s author”, said Joanna Prior, CEO of publisher Pan Macmillan. “This early success is a triumph against Meta’s attempt to stop the publication of this book.”

Just going to hypothesize something here... for posterity and accountability to weird strategic thoughts I have when I try to channel this Musk creep. The tech-bro's have already taken over. That is why they are now sending the DOGE teams with armed escorts and guns to smash small offices of the government. Trump is the vindictive figurehead. It's the tech lords running the show, and they're going to do a deal with China to get rid of Putin.

I'm open to the possibility of something beyond shocking happening. There have already been rumors of revaluing the gold at Fort Knox, restructuring the debt, a national cryptocurrency...

What about, a merger / joint venture with China and the US becomes a total one-party state, USA Inc. They'll leave the illusion of elections, and the Dems will continue to be the useful idiots as they have been for a decade.

The game is no longer Dem vs. Rep. There will be no normal midterms. The struggle at the top is between the Christian Nationalists, the technofascist (Nation State) crowd, and the MAGA base that Bannon leads. Think of Bannon's people as the brown shirts they'll eventually use to silence dissent.

Imagine a chip-access deal or some sort of organized takeover of Taiwan (stripping the island of its sovereignty in Trump fashion) over a set period of time for USA, Inc. to be able to scale semiconductor fabs.

The culture war is a distraction. The rich are stealing the future.

The man behind #DOGE's "#AI-first" strategy, the 28 year-old ex-#Tesla engineer #ThomasShedd, has quietly—& possibly illegally—become the head of technology for the Department of #Labor.

“'They are not making much on streaming services, they are not making much on YouTube for playing their videos,' said [music industry expert Eric Alper]. 'Everything is more expensive, the venues are more expensive, insurance has gone through the roof.'”

They moved fast and broke things, and now everything's broken and has higher concentration of profit and control in fewer hands. Yay #TechnoFeudalism
