Charles Hugh Smith describes the Big Tech monopolies perfectly, except for relating it to the larger view of global Technocracy. Big Tech has indeed brainwashed society into thinking that it is OK to let them run amok and that they are now "to big to fail". If left alone, an inescapable Scientific Dictatorship is straight ahead
The global reaction to wearing face masks and practicing social distancing is based on pseudo-science and thus is a scam of epic proportions. The Technocrat agenda working against humanity has nothing to do with the health of the population, but rather the social engineering of it
C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) wrote extensively about the destructive nature of Scientism and its inevitable consequences on society as a whole. Technocracy and Transhumanism are the twin agents Scientism that will destroy civilization.
Resistance to COVID-19 behavior mandates can be solved by "moral enhancement", which is "the use of substances to make you more moral. The psychoactive substances act on your ability to reason about what the right thing to do is, or your ability to be empathetic or altruistic or cooperative."
Nobody is pointing out the role of wearing face masks in accompanying brain epidemic. Dr. Russell Blaylock wrote, "By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain."
Implanted non-organic electronic devices are typically rejected by the human body as a foreign invader, but new discoveries in chemical science promise to trick the body into accepting them. Welcome to the 'Borg'.
Transhumanism is entering the mainstream of thought around the world as the rich and super-rich spend their fortunes on life-enhancement bio-hacks, many of which are very bizarre. Teenage blood transfusions borders on insanity.
Club of Rome was originally founded at a meeting in David Rockefeller's house in Bellagio, Italy, and promoted alarmism over population growth. Its 1973 book, Limits to Growth, coincided with the creation of the Trilateral Commission, also by Rockefeller. They are still at it.
Technocracy and Transhumanism have always been joined at the hip. Technocracy uses its "science of social engineering" to merge technology and society. Transhumanism uses its field of NBIC to merge technology directly into humans. To put it another way, Technocracy is to society what Transhumanism is to the humans that live in it.
Elon Musk is a consummate Technocrat and Transhumanist who seeks the merging of technology and the human body with the ultimate purpose of achieving immortality. His Neuralink project experiments with Brain Machine Interfaces (BMI) literally puts silicon in your skull and connects it to the outside world
