An emerging ideology amongst Silicon Valley elites, termed the 'Nerd Reich' by journalist Gil Duran, proposes a non-democratic vision of governance where profit and control supersede the common good. Influenced by right-wing thinkers and proponents of cryptolibertarianism, this ideology highlights a troubling perspective where liberal democracy is predicted to collapse, paving the way for a new form of tech feudalism. The wealthy leaders, including figures like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, seem poised to benefit from this shift, envisioning a future dominated by corporate fiefdoms rather than democratic governance.
Gil Duran labels the ideology of tech elites as the 'Nerd Reich,' where power operates outside the bounds of democracy and prioritizes profit and control.
Duran's argument suggests that a group of wealthy Silicon Valley leaders anticipates the downfall of liberal democracy and aims to establish a tech feudal system.
