British investigative journalist Iain Davis delves into the troubling convergence of technocracy, oligarchy, and transhumanism, arguing that we are witnessing the construction of a privatised, data-driven global governance model led by corporate elites—what he calls the “GovCorp Technate.” With Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and other techno-oligarchs at the helm, this emerging system—steeped in philosophies like the Dark Enlightenment and accelerationism—promotes AI-led control, digital currency dominance, and even neo-feudal “freedom cities.” Davis warns that these developments represent a rebranded form of authoritarianism cloaked in futuristic jargon, designed to strip away human autonomy. Yet, he finishes on a hopeful note: if people recognise that governments are no longer in charge and reject compliance, this dystopian trajectory can still be averted.
