Here’s why the Ultra Wealthy Tech bros are helping accelerate the destruction of America for their own twisted dystopian agenda.
A deep dive into the disturbing underbelly of “Venture Capitalist Extremism”. This is definitely not normal...
When I say that things aren’t normal right now.. I don’t mean in a way that is simply “we haven’t had a president like this in a very long time”. We have had authoritian “style”presidents in the US before. We have had presidents, many, who abused the power of the Oval Office— such as Andrew Jackson who oversaw the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans, or Nixon who famously attempted to influence an election outcome. We’ve also had the ultra rich and corporations using their wealth to control politicians and influence policy for a very long time. Both are serious problems in their own right…
However, this is even bigger, dystopian, and dare I say sinister than that. And everyone really needs to understand what Silicon Valley — and the ultra wealthy elite that have sept into every little crack of the White House — are truly planning for our world. Spoiler alert — it’s not a world for you and me. Oh no, they make that perfectly clear in their online manifestos and open world plans for private tech empires that they will rule while using eugenics and breeding programs so that a small elite may “exit” from our current reality and ultimately become a separate species from Homo sapiens.
I wish I were making this up. It’s all online for anyone to find. Why wouldn’t it be? That’s where they live anyways… Almost literally.
This the front page of the Praxis Nation website - started by Peter Thiel’s Pronomos Capital and other closely associated venture capitalists- where they are planning a city called Praxis. Their website openly states they are trying to build a new nation. Praxis has raised over $500 million in committed financing to date from Pronomos Capital venture capitalists and their associates, including Sam Altman (ChatGPT/Open Ai) and Joe Lonsdale of the PayPal Mafia.
Praxis has focused for several years on raising capital and residents for the site. Via Praxis: “Thousands of exceptional community members have gathered at Praxis events around the world. We’ve convened summits, shared dinners, hosted galas — fostering an environment where our members, even prior to the construction of the city, have built strong connections to one another.”

BTW: Greenland is the targeted location for the building of the city. I’ll let you connect the dots there. Or read this article to have it done for you: A Startup Linked to Peter Thiel Wants to Build the “Next Great City” in Greenland
The plan to “Exit” society as is so that they can move into their “Dark Enlightenment” phase of existence.
The concept of “Exit” is a disturbing ideology that has gained traction among the tech elite and their inner circles. At its core, Exit proposes that the supposedly "superior" individuals in society should secede from the rest of civilization and establish their own exclusive communities, cities, or even states. This notion is rooted in the ideas of Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin, two influential thinkers who are frequently referenced and admired by the tech elite.
You can see my recent piece on Curtis Yarvin and his influence on the current administration here: Ultimate Revenge of the Nerds: Curtis Yarvin's America. The Tech Billionaire Club's Plan to Replace Democracy Is Already Underway
In essence, the Exit ideology advocates for the creation of separate, self-sustaining entities, such as the Network State, where the "superior" individuals can govern themselves and live apart from the rest of society. This concept is often justified by the idea that these exceptional individuals are hindered by the existing social and political structures, and that they need to break free from the constraints of traditional society in order to reach their full potential.

The idea of Exit is deeply troubling, as it implies a profound disregard for the well-being and dignity of those who are deemed "inferior" or "undesirable". By advocating for the separation of the "superior" from the rest of society, the Exit ideology perpetuates a toxic narrative of elitism and social Darwinism, where the strong are encouraged to abandon the weak and forge their own path.
It's chilling to think that this ideology has gained significant traction among the tech elite, who are increasingly using their wealth and influence to shape the world according to their own vision. The Network State, a concept that is closely tied to the Exit ideology, represents a dystopian future where the boundaries between technology, politics, and society are blurred, and where the rules of traditional democracy no longer apply.
As we consider the implications of the Exit ideology, it's essential to recognize the dangers of unchecked elitism and the erosion of social cohesion. We must be vigilant in opposing any ideology that seeks to divide society into separate castes, and that promotes the abandonment of the vulnerable and the marginalized. The idea of Exit is a threat to the very fabric of our democracy, and it's our responsibility to reject it and to work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
“Tech fascists talk about recruiting for “high IQ” people, and have come up with a counter-measure to DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion), which is MEI (Merit, Excellence and Intelligence); this approach to hiring and culture has been forwarded by Elon Musk and officially adopted by the startup ScaleAI, funded by Peter Thiel’s VC firm Founders Fund, and YCombinator. The idea of being “high IQ” simply translates to who is seen as desirable to tech fascists, as actual IQ testing is not administered or claims to IQ superiority put to the test, as it would disqualify many of them by their own criteria.” -
Currently what Google wants you to see when searching “Neoreactiosm”. Those sly little nerds.
The “Dark Enlightenment” side of Neoreactionism.
I have purposely avoided using the phrase “Dark Enlightenment” in my pieces so far because it definitely has a sound that screams ‘crazy conspiracy theory”. And that is exactly why when you google Neoreactionism now the term “Dark Enlightenment” has been thwarted into the top search results and they proudly display it on the side bar. They want people that are told to research this topic to look it up and say “nah” and immediately close the search.
But I assure you, this is no conspiracy. This is as real as cherry pie and as dark as the name intends. You just have to push your way through the rif raf online to find their inner ramblings and psychotic proposals for which they are now executing on.
Nick Land was the first to coin the term his essay “The Dark Enlightenment” , which he discusses why and how an elite class will “exit” from society and democracy, writing:
“... libertarians have ceased to care whether anyone is ‘pay[ing them] attention’ – they have been looking for something else entirely: an exit. It is a structural inevitability that the libertarian voice is drowned out in democracy, and according to Lind it should be. Ever more libertarians are likely to agree. ‘Voice’ is democracy itself, in its historically dominant, Rousseauistic strain. It models the state as a representation of popular will, and making oneself heard means more politics. If voting as the mass self-expression of politically empowered peoples is a nightmare engulfing the world, adding to the hubbub doesn’t help. Even more than Equality-vs-Liberty, Voice-vs-Exit is the rising alternative, and libertarians are opting for voiceless flight. Patri Friedman remarks: ‘we think that free exit is so important that we’ve called it the only Universal Human Right.’ For the hardcore neo-reactionaries, democracy is not merely doomed, it is doom itself. Fleeing it approaches an ultimate imperative.”
The essay takes a deeply unsettling turn, where Land goes on to explain how after the small elite “exit” from society and democracy they will form their own society, where they can engage in a breeding program that will ultimately result in a separate species from homo sapiens.
Nick Land states:
"Approaching the bionic horizon, secessionism takes on an altogether wilder and more monstrous bearing – towards speciation." He quotes an extremist publication focused on eugenics, nanotechnology, and genetic engineering, stating "The folks at euvolution capture the scenario well":
"Reasoning that the majority of humankind will not voluntarily accept qualitative population-management policies, [Joseph] Campbell points out that any attempt to raise the IQ of the whole human race would be tediously slow. He further points out that the general thrust of early eugenics was not so much species improvement as the prevention of decline. Campbell's eugenics, therefore, advocates the abandonment of Homo sapiens as a 'relic' or 'living fossil' and the application of genetic technologies to intrude upon the genome, probably writing novel genes from scratch using a DNA synthesizer. Such eugenics would be practiced by elite groups, whose achievements would so quickly and radically outdistance the usual tempo of evolution that within ten generations the new groups will have advanced beyond our current form to the same degree that we transcend apes."
Land credits two tech fascists, Patri Friedman and Peter Thiel, both involved at the time in the seasteading movement, a predecessor to the Network State, for the evolution of notions of exit. He references a 2009 discussion hosted at Cato Unbound, where Thiel summarized the trend bluntly:
"I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible."
This sentiment is echoed by Curtis Yarvin, who in his book "Patchwork: A Political System for the 21st century", refers to "the democratic past", stating "Leftism is cancer" and that "On theoretical grounds alone—the feat has never really been achieved, at least never for good—the only cure for leftism is complete and permanent excision".
Curtis Yarvin’s concept of "Patchwork" is a key source of the Exit concept, where he proposes a global network of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents' opinions. He states: "The basic idea of Patchwork is that, as the crappy governments we inherited from history are smashed, they should be replaced by a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents' opinions. If residents don’t like their government, they can and should move. The design is all 'exit,' no 'voice'."
Yarvin also states that the "patchworks" are to be run by corporate owners, serving as the government and serving as the "authoritarian, omnipotent and omniscient sovereign".
These ideas form the basis of the Network State project, which is currently being funded by Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, evangelized by Balaji Srinivasan, and administered by Patri Friedman through Pronomos Capital. The Network State has projects in multiple continents, including advanced locations in Honduras and Nigeria. It's alarming to see how these ideas are being put into practice, with the goal of creating a new, technocratic elite that will govern itself and leave the rest of humanity behind as "relics". The implications of this are deeply disturbing, and it's essential to understand the roots of this ideology and the individuals who are driving it forward.
The concept of “exit” and the Network State has a disturbing foundation, drawing inspiration from genocidal figures and projects throughout history, including Christopher Columbus, American settlers and frontiersmen, and Israel. The Network State is even referred to as "distributed Zion" in the titular book, which praises Israel's achievements: "Their status as a nation state changed with time. The Jewish people were once a stateless nation, a diaspora group united by common ancestry and tradition without a land or government to call their own. Then, within living memory, they founded the state of Israel." It's notable that the same financiers of the Network State also finance weapons systems sold to Israel, receive and give funding to/from Israel, fund Israeli startups, co-invest with Israeli investment firms, and publicly support the genocide.
And who can forget the famous Tweet heard around the world — where the newly reinstated President of the US posted an AI generated video of a futuristic Gaza:
But Trump hasn’t kept his intentions on helping usher in this new “era” of elite cities totally secret. He mentioned them in his campaigns in 2023 and 2024, calling them “Freedom Cities”, a slight Republican rebranding of the concept. He just wasn’t fully honest about the extent to which they are absolutely insane and evil (shocker).
The fact the the Network State is built on on the backs of exploited laborers, while its proponents tout it as a utopian vision of the future, is a stark reminder of the dark underbelly of this ideology. The idea of "exit" is not a liberation from the existing social and economic structures, but rather a perpetuation of the same systems of oppression and exploitation that have always existed. The Network State is not a revolutionary new concept, but rather a rebranding of the same old power dynamics, with the wealthy and powerful elite at the top and the exploited laborers at the bottom.
What some are now calling “Venture Capitalist Extremism” is a genuine and serious phenomenon, inextricably linked to the material circumstances, goals, and programs of its proponents. Beneath the rhetoric of innovation and progress, lies a stark reality: the unyielding quest for profit and domination, regardless of the social and human costs. As we examine the ideological underpinnings of venture capitalist extremism, we must remain vigilant and focused on the underlying material drivers that propel this movement.
The concepts of the Network State, unregulated medical experimentation, and the AI military build-out, among others, are not merely abstract ideas, but rather, they are intimately tied to the concrete interests and ambitions of the venture capitalist class. These ideologies serve as a means to legitimize and advance the accumulation of wealth and power, often at the expense of democratic values, social welfare, and human dignity.
By recognizing the material roots of venture capitalist extremism, we can better understand the ways in which this ideology is used to justify and perpetuate the exploitation of labor, the erosion of democracy, the destruction of programs such as Diversion, Equity, and Exclusion, and the concentration of wealth and power. Ultimately, it is crucial to expose the mysticism and indirection that surrounds fascist ideology, and to reveal the stark reality of the capitalist crisis that underlies the extremist agendas of the venture capitalist class.
Because these are no longer fringe ideas that some nerds have in the back offices of Silicon Valley. Oh no. They are very real ideologies and strategies being executed on by very powerful and connected elites who are now running The White House. We should be more than alarmed, we should be enraged.
They need to be stopped before it’s too late.. and that timeline is quickly approaching.
Share this article with everyone you know- the more people who understand what is actually happening the better equipped we are to stop it.
It may be helpful (and important) to broadly share this shorter synopsis by Jon Sneider which he titled *DARK MAGA*
“If you're a little confused about what Musk is trying to achieve with DOGE, here's the breakdown:
Elon Musk and Peter Thiel co-founded a company that became PayPal.
Other executives at PayPal went on to found or lead other huge tech companies including YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Affirm, and many VC firms.
This group became known as the “PayPal mafia” because they basically controlled Silicon Valley.
Peter Thiel mentored a young JD Vance and helped him get set up in his first VC firm.
Peter Thiel and the “PayPal mafia” funded JD Vance's successful Senate campaign. Amazing because he had absolutely zero political experience.
Thiel and Musk all but forced Trump to choose JD Vance as VP in exchange for funding his presidential campaign.
The three of them, plus a lot of other tech billionaires, subscribe to an ideology called “the Dark Enlightenment” espoused by this super weird, creepy dude:
Curtis Yarvin (aka Mencius Moldbug).
Yarvin preaches that the media and academia represent "The Cathedral" that secretly controls power and must be dismantled.
He advocates for a corporate-run monarchy, led by a CEO-Dictator.
He says that Democracy is an "outdated software" and openly opposes it, and that:
- Government agencies should be dismantled and the U.S. should be broken up into "patchworks" controlled by tech oligarchs.
- The elite tech billionaires should rule because they have the intelligence to "fix" society.
- The "masses are asses" too dumb to govern themselves.
The strategy is to gut the government via R.A.G.E (Retire All Govt Employees) to make government incapable of operating.
Then to replace government with private corporations.
To eliminate elections because they are "obsolete."
To use distraction and chaos to prevent public resistance.
Trump is their useful tool to be disposed of as soon as they can wrest control.
This is why Elon wears a black MAGA hat. They are not Trump supporters, they are "Dark MAGA.”
This isn't a hypothetical. The plan is already in motion:
- Musk, Thiel, and their network are actively dismantling democratic institutions.
- JD Vance, the “MAGA heir,” is being positioned to help implement this transition.
- The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.
- If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced by a corporate-run authoritarian state.
That's it. Now that you understand that you can see how everything that's happening fits within that lens.
Now the only question is what do we do about it?
That's my Dark Ted Talk. Thanks for listening.”

My question is if they have all this money and technology why not just buy their own land or island and create this world. Leave the rest of us alone to live!!! Better yet colonize another planet go away!!
