A look into how the tech leaders may be using the new administration to achieve their own agenda. Looking specifically at Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andressen, Ben Horotwitz, Brian Armstrong, and David Sacks as well as their relationship with figures like JD Vance, Balaji Srinivasan, and Curtis Yarvin. There is a focused discussion on how a shaping of the government might take place based on convergences between the ideas of Yarvin, who influences the tech libertarian right, and Project 2025, who have authored a playbook exclusively for President Trump to help with his transition to power.

if you got nothing left to lose, take some bad guys with you

if you're too old to fight, help organize a local leftist militia.

if you don't want to get involved directly, help amplify the message that we have to take the fight to them.

if you don't want to end up on a list, help develop and distribute forms of encrypted communication software.

if you can't do any of that, i don't know, go live in the woods or something.

just please, please stop participating in these online circle jerks where we pacify ourselves with meaningless platitudes. these are the antithesis of helpful to the cause.

actually, if we could remove the sociopaths from power, it would allow academics to over. it's not that hard to engineer a society where people aren't like they are now. we're learned behavior creatures. it's possible to unlearn what we know now and teach our children to never be this way again.

when you stick your hand on a hot stove and feel pain, it's so you know to do something about it. you don't want to shut that off.
