Expected to read about past and current connections between technocracy and fascism. Was not disappointed.

Musk, Altman, Thiel, Ellison, Zuckerberg, Page, and the like are trying to implement technocracy. And that's something we should be resisting at every opportunity.

No, they are aiming for plutocracy. They don't want solutions that is good for society, they want solutions that make them richer.

Several people (maybe all, I do not know for sure) on that list are pretty hard core right wing populists, correct? Isn't that completely at odds with technocracy? Or are you thinking that they are just taking advantage of a populist movement but are themselves technocrats?

“Rich people do something so we should reactively go against it” is not the slam dunk you think it is.
