The bewildering truth behind human technological enslavement is that it is impossible without the voluntary participation of the intended slaves. People must welcome technocracy into their lives in order for it to succeed. The populace has to believe, blindly, that they cannot live without it, or that authoritarianism by algorithmic consensus is “inevitable.”
For example, the average person living in a first world economy voluntarily carries a cell phone everywhere they go at all times without fail. To be without it, in their minds, is to be naked, at risk, unprepared and disconnected from civilization. I grew up in the 1980s and we did just fine without having a phone on our hip every moment of the day. Even now, I refuse to carry one.
Why? First, as most people should be aware of by now (the Edward Snowden revelations left no doubt), a cell phone is a perfect technocratic device. It has multilayered tracking, using GPS, WiFi routers, and cell tower triangulation to track your every step. Not only that, but it can be used to record your daily patterns, your habits, who your friends are, where you were on any given day many months or years ago.
Then there’s the backdoor functions hidden in app software that allows governments and corporations to to access your cell’s microphone and camera, even when you think the device is shut off. The private details of your life could be recorded and collated. In a world where privacy is being declared “dead” by boasting technocrats, why help them out by carrying something that listens to everything you say and chronicles everything you do?
Globalists often openly admit that the dynamic of global tracking and the end of anonymity is about willful participation. In a 2023 Swiss TV interview former head of the WEF, Klaus Schwab, made this statement:
Schwab was discussing his vision of the “new world” and the sacrifices people will have to make to live within it. I would point out that he says “YOU will have to accept total transparency…” not “WE will have to accept total transparency…” He’s not including the elites in his futurist ideal of total surveillance.
Michael F. Neidorff, then-Chairman and CEO of Centene Corporation (a major US health insurer), during a 2017 World Economic Forum (WEF) session in Davos titled “What If: Privacy Becomes a Luxury Good?” asserted that:
“By definition you give up privacy by being involved in something. Big data can be incredibly beneficial, but the fact that it is not anonymised is where the problem emerges…”
The globalist concept of the end of privacy is expanded upon in WEF member Ida Auken’s essay titled: “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.” Her paper is the quintessential technocratic propaganda narrative – Similar to the narratives of Soviet futurists early in the Cold War, the elites often lure the public into participation in technocracy by promising them a life of infinite wealth and ease. “One day soon…” they say, “…our technology is going to erase labor, the need for money and the wealth gap.”
That is to say, they all promise the same bullshit about how you won’t have to work, your time will be free and owning property will become superfluous because everything will be handed to you for nothing. Of course, the trade-off is that your life will become an open book for the people in power and your very survival will be completely dependent on their whims. Step out of line, and they can easily push a button and end your existence as you know it.
Every aspect of technocracy requires ever growing dependency, but also a certain level of faith; faith that the technocrats are smarter than you and have your best interests at heart. Most people don’t have that kind of faith in other people, especially government bureaucrats and corporate CEOs. However, I have noticed an unsettling trend of blind faith in Artificial Intelligence.
After all, algorithms are the ultimate objective source, are they not? They have no emotions, so how could they suffer from bias?
Ah, and there’s the big con. As I’ve said for many years now, AI is so overrated it’s mind boggling. The amount of electrical power and human capital being invested into AI is already immense and even more resources will be required for these systems to continue “evolving”. And yet, no AI has EVER invented anything new without extensive human input at every level. AI does not create autonomously and I question if it ever will.
Why are we pumping so many resources into something that really is nothing more than a glorified search engine? Don’t get me wrong, I realize that AI has great potential as a tool for development. It certainly makes things easier for research and for speeding up projects, but it’s not intuitive and it’s often wrong.
I’ve used apps like ChatGPT and Grok on occasion to find obscure sources for data and quotes, but you already have to know what you’re looking for in order to do this. Every app has lied to me at times, giving false information and unprompted propaganda (Grok at least admits it can provide biased content or admits it was wrong when cornered by conflicting data).
But once again, AI cannot mislead you unless you participate in the delusion that AI in infallible. Sadly, too many people are stumbling into this trap. I see people constantly quote AI without checking sources. They use AI as the source, and this is what globalists want.
If the majority of people on the planet start using AI as the academic or philosophical default, then the globalists win. Every person will get the same answers, which will be programmed by the powers-that-be, and even if those answers are wrong they will be considered correct because no one will have contrary information.
I explored this problem last year in my article “Three Horrifying Consequences Of AI That You Might Not Have Thought About.” Again, participation is the key to enslavement. The human laziness factor is, in a way, giving AI permission to rule over us.
I was recently watching a discussion with Elon Musk at the Saudi Investment Forum launched as an extension of the Saudi 2030 Agenda (it’s basically all the same people as the World Government Summit in Dubai), as well as his comments at the recent Tesla shareholder’s meeting. Musk argued that:
“Long term, the AI is going to be in charge, to be totally frank, not humans… If artificial intelligence vastly exceeds the sum of human intelligence, it is difficult to imagine that any humans will actually be in charge. So we just need to make sure that AI is friendly…”
He also expounded on a rather Utopian vision of the next couple decades (as all futurists do), predicting a world without work, without scarcity and without most human struggles we are accustomed to. It’s a very similar vision sold to the public by elites and corporate moguls predicting a 15 hour work week during the First Industrial Revolution. Musk’s ideal is only different in that he calls for a benevolent AI trained by libertarians rather than an overlord AI trained by globalists.
Bottom line: AI will only “be in charge” if the populace allows it to be in charge. We can shut it all down anytime we like. You can pull your cell phone out of your pocket right now and throw it away, cutting down your digital footprint and becoming virtually invisible compared to yesterday. By extension, society as a whole can say no to AI governance. The question is, will we?
I’ll give Musk the benefit of the doubt for now that he wants AI for good, but I can’t help but point out that the collectivist ideal is always floated on the promise of economic Elysium. The world of ease Musk imagines will probably never exist. I think the system would collapse first.
That is to say, technocracy will be attempted but it will implode when it is discovered that AI is not a miracle drug and that the benefits do not outweigh the loss of freedoms the digital gulag requires. Laziness only works as an opiate for the masses when it does not result in pain. Pain creates motivation, and motivation leads to rebellion.
Furthermore, the energy resources we have right now are in no way capable of fueling the kind of AI renaissance the elites want. Even Musk admits that energy is the ultimate bottleneck and that a 50% to 100% increase in output worldwide would be needed to power future AI development. Alternative estimates call for a 300% increase in energy output.
No large-population country in the world including the US has the kind of grid needed to allow every citizen to own and operate an electric car. Imagine the amount of power required to to employ millions upon millions of AI run robots and machines to take the place of human laborers?
Typical green energy is not going to do this, it’s highly inefficient. Only a vast expansion of nuclear power might do the trick (or fusion if they ever get it right). The economic cost would be unprecedented (hundreds of trillions of dollars). The labor required to generate that kind of energy wealth would mean MORE work for humanity, not less. Meaning more struggle, more anger, and a greater chance of societal breakdown.
I have a lot of problems with futurists, but one thing that bothers me the most is their habit of ignoring the human factor in their technocratic theories. AI running the world is not inevitable, it is contingent on voluntary human compliance, just as everything about technocracy relies on human compliance.
I’m not saying we should be “anti-technology”, just that we can and must be masters of technology. We determine the future, not AI. Technology is peripheral and ultimately irrelevant in comparison to the human experience. If a piece of tech doesn’t actually make our lives better and more free and instead makes our existence a misery, then it should be turned to ashes along with the globalist institutions that demand we “own nothing and be happy.”

Virtually nothing that today’s false-god Masters of the Universe do is for the true and actual betterment of humankind.
.
We already know what They think. They have told us clearly and repeatedly in so many words. But when you boil those words down a pattern clearly emerges: That They are Masters of the Universe and everyone else is stupid and useless and a waste of resources and a burden to Them.
.
So They can present and promote and dress things up as appealing and palatable and futuristic as They please but at heart this hides Their dark underbelly of bad intentions and bad results for the human race.
.
This is not to say that technology is bad – for it most certainly isn’t. It’s not about the technology itself but how it’s intended to be used in society. A plain carpenter’s hammer can be used to build someone a house or it can be used to smash someone’s head in. It’s all about how and when and where – and most of of – why it is being used. So this also is with every new and shiny development today. And only the most trusting or foolhardy think that They would actually have any good intentions with anything They roll out and either incite or impose upon the rest of us. Why? Again, because They have already told us what They think of us and how (or if) we even fit into Their delusional future paradise fully owned and controlled by – Them.
.
They don’t have to force us into slavery or into a virtual and real prison – so many of us are happily skipping right along into that every moment of every day. Every time you pick up your Little Magic Box of Dancing Pixels you join into Their digital hell. Every moment you spend on your devices instead of honestly interacting with real human beings you are turning yourself into a Thing… a data-point… a piece of the Digital device itself. You do not own your phone or your device – It Owns You.
.
It Owns You… but only if you let it. If you treat your technology as your servant and not your Master then you still preserve your humanity and keep the Masters at bay. But that’s not how things are going these days. Every moment of every day there is less and less ‘human’ there and more and more ‘thing – carbonized piece of the device’ – there. And the Masters are loving that.
.
One could say we’re in a war for humanity but that war may already be over – and won – by the False Masters of the Universe. Your Not-So-Smartphone may already be permanently be attached to what used to be your hand which is now nothing but a cradle for The Device also known as The Instrument of Obedience.
.
Welcome to the Future. We may have lost a huge war we never even knew we were in. And we surrendered before we the knew and understood horrors of what we were surrendering to.
.
Will it be said that Humanity died the day Technology became our god? If so, we not only lost the true God but we also lost ourselves.
The AI mark of the beast shall be sold as sophisticated simplification of all life’s processes. The false prophet, a man 666, shall encourage broad global acceptance by the end of 2027. Just take the mark. No credit cards, a basic income, nothing to carry. Just show your hand and your carbon footprint is updated hourly.
On your phone, it’s nothing but a tracking recording device. Billions have it and they need to store that information. I do not trust any device that says you can turn it off. IMO it’s NEVER turned off.
They now need to store that data and why do you think they need these data centers they are putting up like crazy? Even taking our tap water away to do so. They are storing countless bits of info on you and whoever has a tracking device, er Smartphone on them and companies are doing their best to move everything over on it.
“YOU will have to accept total transparency…” Klaus Schwab
“Adapt or Die” – P.W. Botha (South African president 1978)
Same basic message and we see clearly how that worked out in the South African context. The thing is, as you said, people have to buy into it. I do not own or carry a smart phone either. I drive a 20 year old truck with minimum electronics and a manual transmission.
In the 1960’s and 1970’s we were told that the government was going to draft us for two years and do exactly what they wanted with us. We were told we would buy into that or be sent to prison. In that case enough of us did not buy into it, to the extent that it crashed their system. They have not tried that since. Therein lies hope.
The trap has been sprung and most people are already in it. The surveillance state is so advanced now that people have no clue about their enslavement.
The surveillance state went into overdrive after 9-11. They needed that so they could sell the gullible public that they needed to trade in their freedom for a little security. Too bad citizens did not do a silent protest and refused to fly on an airplane. That would have put the kibosh on the TSA. Since the enactment of the Patriot Act (which btw goes contrary to Patriots) I have not flown on an airline.
Ben Franklin once said: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
This is why TPTB gave the world the Scamdemic.
Just say No. Refuse to acquiesce to the demands that enslave.
Okay, but having so recently experienced the Kobid hysteria, it appears that education and prolific bachelor degrees didn’t help at all. At least 8 out of 10 people refuse to become informed AND stand their ground against the flow.
And with all of the deception of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the LOVE of the TRUTH, that they might be saved. -2 Thessalonians 2:10
The covid agenda collapsed and was defeated. The globalists got nothing they wanted.
You will NOT need a bank when the system goes cashless as everything is done on a smart phone in the digital world that is coming once the present financial system collapse!:

These banksters and their politicians want us to have no independence as Agustin Carsten of the BIS comes right out and admits he wants total control:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpNnTuK5JJU
The globalists have told us in 38 second video embedded in this link, that to enter the NWO ~ “New World Order” everyone will be required to have a smart phone, bank account, and upload their digital ID:

Please do NOT upload your digital ID as that is you giving your mark to the beast to buy and sell:

AI, in the wrong hands, will rewrite history for us all.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
George Orwell, 1984
That’s why we are seeing the equivalent of a modern day space race to develop it. Flawed or not it must be released to the masses lest that civilization who hesitates becomes the underdog.
I kinda wonder if Elon is a modern day Oscar Schindler playing his part and pretending to tow the globalists line. But in reality he knows deep down the wrongdoings of the system he is playing in and hopes to right the ship by having some control over it. Only time will tell.
Pretty spot on. Like the glorified search engine analogy. Let’s be real, AI is not intelligence, it’s a confluence of sophisticated technologies including speech recognition, language models, and algorithmic processing. Martin Armstrong has explained it as a neural net but not intelligence. Erik Townsend who panned crypto over a decade ago in a book because of its energy inefficiencies, called crypto a very poorly designed software system and applied the same critique to AI. On-the-market AI is very inefficient at what it does and is poorly designed, it isn’t intelligence. There are those who say the UFO File technologies already have quantum AI (but whatever space alien tech they have, is not being revealed yet beyond drones/UAPs).
There AI race seems a lot like the globalists race for open borders, a slot down from the Green New Deal. We’re just going to do it, without a democratic process to determine if we should, nor an actual plan to deal with the inefficiencies of its water and power consumption, and how to deal with America’s antiquated grid. It’s a boondoggle, but the spontaneous bipartisan NIMBY pushback is awesome and accelerating. The utility bill shock is an earthquake to normies.
I appreciate the don’t participate sentiment and have tried at times, regarding smart phones. However, my thesis is, collecting all that data is also too much and inefficient doing it the way they’re doing it. So I say overwhelm them with the data of patriots, Christians, and conservatives. Let them drown in the data of how many people don’t agree with them, so they fear the mountain they must overcome. Shine the light for others to join the fight, we cowered for too long trying to protect our privacy and views over the past forty years. Christianity and conservatism was subverted in America during my lifetime by doing this. We need to go back to the old days of John Wayne masculinity, here I am, come get me and make them deal with the masses.
Actually, the only real purpose of AI for the globalists is an efficient real time way to track patriots and anyone else that might present a problem. It’s the one thing AI is truly good at. So, no, don’t give them more data if you can help it. You’re only helping them.
We loss a good one! MTG has had enough of Trump and turned in her resignation.

This isn’t an either/or proposition. It is both inevitable AND delusional. Read the Book of Revelation. It’s a done deal. Jesus revealed it, John wrote it, God Approved it and I believe it. Look around you. You live in a world that rejects sound doctrine for a doctrine of demons. It makes NO SENSE, and yet it is 100% inevitable. It’s going to happen because it has already happened and it is happening continuously all the time. You linear people amuse me.
Bingo. Tom Horn and Steve Quayle wrote books about this 15-20 years ago.
Glad I read ‘em.
Nothing is inevitably successful if it is delusional. If it is delusional, then it will inevitably fail, not inevitably prevail.
I’ve been studying Transhumanism and Technocracy for 20 years. It’s an anti-God philosophy.
I don’t trust any of the Big Tech boys. Not even Musk.
Their utopian view of the world, in which they will lead, is from the leagues of hell.
Musk is a Trojan horse. Dude has MAGA in his hands.
Artificial Intelligence or ARTIFICIAL INFORMATION.
We need to start referring to it as Artificial Information.
WHY? Because intelligence is a qualifier and it enters our subconscious as such when we refer to it, making it easier for the general public to accept without critical thought all that goes with it.
TRUTH is it is just information, biased, programmed, edited, lacking, etc. and should not replace our consciousness or the aware-ized responsibility that goes with it.
Save our children, the future and save ourselves. Let’s all call it and refer to it as Artificial Information. Don’t let the thought-controllers stop you.
Technocracy is insane at its core, largely because the technocrats who invented it were insane, and the ones today who “re-discover” it and put lipstick on that pig in effort to convince everyone it is great … are insane.
That said, in the United States, at least HALF the adult population are aware of this madness and they actively reject and oppose it. Thankfully we are still armed. The rest of the so-called First World doesn’t have the same percentage of population in opposition to this agenda, and thanks to their collective (collectivist?) stupidity, they are not largely armed as we are.
The day will soon come when humanity requires the Butlerian Jihad (From Frank Herbert’s Dune sci-fi novels for those not familiar with it), in which ‘thinking machines’ and their proponents are done away with. Violently.
We’d best be throwing the technocrats on the scrap-heap of history along with their agenda and so-called AI.
As Brandon has already stated, this lunacy is a big lie. It will never accomplish the ‘total awareness and control’ these insane liars want, much less the promises of leisure and plenty they promise everyone else.
It is a difficult and dangerous struggle we face. But those have always been the most worthwhile struggles.
