The Rise of Techno-Feudalism: Are Billionaire Oligarchs Replacing Democracy?
Democracy is under strain. As political polarization deepens and AI-driven decision-making accelerates, a new elite class of billionaire oligarchs and data-driven technocrats may be quietly reshaping governance. Are we witnessing the dawn of Techno-Feudalism, where digital barons rule over society?
In this episode, Erika Barker dissects the Dark Enlightenment movement, Curtis Yarvin’s theories, and the growing influence of Silicon Valley’s power players in reshaping democracy. We’ll also explore whether AI-driven governance models—like the World Economic Forum’s Governance 4.0 or the radical Integrative Equilibrium System (IES)—can provide a solution or just another step toward corporate-controlled rule.
Are we heading toward algorithmic dictatorship, or is this the birth of a more efficient, data-driven democracy? Tune in to The Gray Files for a provocative conversation about the future of power in an age of AI-driven decision-making.
