Er is een nieuw type techbaas, schrijft @evgenymorozov.bsky.social. De oligarch-intellectueel. Absurd rijk, filosofisch geschoold én in het bezit van een toegangspasje voor het Witte Huis.

Iemand die bovendien niet te beroerd is om vrijuit te orakelen over oorlog, vrede en de toekomst der mensheid.
De nieuwe elite van Silicon Valley: steenrijk, filosofisch geschoold, vol doodenge ideeën én met een pasje voor het Witte Huis
Lange tijd hield de top van Silicon Valley zich vooral bezig met het verzinnen van slimme tech en apps. Maar tegenwoordig zien we een nieuw type techbaas: de oligarch-intellectueel. Absurd rijk, filos...

Sfornano idee con l’efficienza di una catena di montaggio e la discrezione di un treno merci. E le loro “opinioni controverse” sono fondate su precise tradizioni filosofiche. L'articolo di Evgeny Morozov: intern.az/1MKG

Great piece: Silicon Valley's tech elites, like Balaji Srinivasan & Thiel, are reshaping governance, pushing for tech-controlled "network states" and bypassing democratic processes. It's clear they are now driving a reactionary futurist agenda, prioritizing corporate power over democratic values.
