The article summarises an interview with Gil Duran about his new book which describes how tech billionaires and venture capitalists in the US have cultivated a virulently anti-democratic ideology for decades and how they're using technology to remake today's world.

It reveals how... influential figures in Silicon Valley began describing democracy as a flawed operating system that had to be replaced by a corporate dictatorship.

That's just for starters.

    Not necessarily? Idk man, language evolves, the word "nerd" doesn't have the same meaning/connotations as it did 40 years ago, nor the same as it will have 40 years from now. Either way, my brain is fried from work so I'm just gonna sit this one out. Feel free to use my comment as a Strawman if you must
