There is no amount of money that satiates greed, so they are trying to fill that remaining hole with power.
He's regarded as a genius by tech billionaires like Marc Andreessen, Brian Armstrong, Peter Thiel and Naval Ravikant.
Read about his other scary ideas in this @newrepublic.com piece https://newrepublic.com/article/180487/balaji-srinivasan-network-state-plutocrat
Balaji, Naval and all the others sucked up to Trump and all other RW psychos. Have no respect for any of them.
Once i said something to Naval on his values on twitter, he blocked mr, that's how fragile their egos are.. he may be genius, am no where, but ..🤦♀️🙆♂️
Now his life's mission is to preach our collapse and decline.
What has caused this outbreak of anti-American zealotry in Silicon Valley?
Why do our most privileged citizens seek our downfall?
The book preaches the end of the USA and the rise of new tech-governed territories ("Network States"):
Just what we need, nerd-boy fan-fic masquerading as political theory. 🙄
None of this is new, of course.
History is littered with businesses becoming governments - Dutch East India Company, British East India Company, Hudson's Bay Company, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc.
And they saw that Charles Koch (and his ilk) and foreign adversaries had been chipping away at all levels of US government for decades, and piggybacked on them.
Kinda makes you wonder how "smart" a lot of those sociopathic tech bros are.
I'm beginning to think not very, but they sure were lucky!
