Perfect revolution being sold as inevitable technological progress

Welcome to the nerd reich

Trump and Musk moving towards Brave New World endgame

THE tech elite already have more wealth than they could spend in multiple lifetimes.

What they are pursuing is something far more ambitious - total control over society’s future development.

What appears as chaos is actually a precisely choreographed sequence of events. What looks like resistance is often part of the plan. What began with subtle changes in society’s foundation has revealed itself as something far more calculated. The growing polarisation, the accelerating technological revolution, the institutional breakdowns - none of these were random events. They formed the opening moves in a transformation so ambitious that even describing it risks sounding implausible.

Three elements converged to create the perfect conditions for change.

■ First: a strategic erosion of trust. Government agencies making decisions that seemed designed to undermine their own credibility. Media organisations abandoning even the pretence of objectivity in ways that destroyed their authority. Political processes long ago devolved into such obvious theatre that they undermine the entire system’s legitimacy.

■ Second: a precise channelling of public frustration. Rather than focusing on specific targets, anger fragmented and turned inward against the society itself. Left and right polarised beyond dialogue. Different social groups found themselves in perpetual conflict. Each attempt at reconciliation or compromise failed in ways that deepened divisions.

■ Third: the emergence of technology sophisticated enough to enable total control. For the first time in history, the technical capability exists to implement governance through algorithms, monitor populations comprehensively, and automate resource allocation across entire societies.
