Скачать или смотреть Technocratic Darkstate Explained - How Tech Bros Got to Trump

Today's guest is Iain Davis, author of the Technocratic Darkstate. He explains what the Dark Enlightenment means and how its followers are trying to achieve technocracy by using technology and AI. Their goal is to try to control mankind. What will be the value of humans in the future once we reach singularity?

In this video Iain explains what are the philosophical roots are of this movement. People like Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin through their writings have influenced tech entrepreneurs such as Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, who in their turn influence politicians like Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Iain also shows why money is such an important tool to them and how they try to shape it into a control mechanism through stable coins and CBDC. A digital ID is neatly tied to that.

At the end, Iain also advises us to stop using smartphones and use cash as much as possible.
