We are witnessing the emergence of the Techno-State. Its forms will be visible, as in the technofeudalism that the Musk-Trump alliance represents, and some will be invisible, as in the technosurveillance that Gates/WHO represents.

You can no longer use the textbook paradigm of the state and the rich to analyze this emerging situation.

Break down your expenses—the state gives you the money, and three people collect it back from you: the mortgage company, the car dealer, and the grocery store owner. Even many do not understand this older form, now with a powerful layer on top.

Break down your behaviours, emotions and values—they have shifted from the traditional to the control by the state.
