Globalization, once steadily advancing, now appears to take a break or perhaps even reversed? The acknowledgement that humanity has, in many ways, lost itself in the very technologies it has created, reminds us that we need to confront the aspects of technology that obscure our true selves, while also seeking the elements that reveal our deeper human nature.
The essence of technology has become comprehensible, but because the question itself has become somehow irrelevant. As long as we try to seek to understand only within certain limits and stop focusing on artifacts rather than what the relationship with technology is, we are losing ourselves in a “gamble” within the political sphere. The freedom of our relationship with technology delivers the essence of the project of surpassing humankind. First attempts to exploit the division between human imperfection and the ever-increasing perfection of machines as the starting point for a critical analysis of civilization. The fact that we understand technology, but not the essence of technology, is significant. Indeed, what this does is accelerate the development of technocracy and governments, whose networks failing to choose a proper pathway out of existing problems become interconnected with the patterns of a business mindset.
In terms of corporate governance patterns, governments rule within businesses that gradually take over the strategies of political systems, institutions, and norms, which become increasingly directed and controlled. To understand this aspect of governance and leadership is as well to recognise a growing awareness of how interconnected forms of power and authority can maintain order, even in the absence of direct state activity. When governments face crises, it is not enough for them to rely on technical fixes, such as rules or procedures; they often also require trust.
enhancement of feudal technocracy When feudal technocracy drastically enhances its focus on powerful individuals rather than on broader systems, society risks shifting toward dependence on “technical experts.” In such a scenario, attention centers on influential figures who ultimately decide who “saves” or “fails” the people. It emphasises cooperation and trust between different groups. However, challenges arise within democracy, particularly as corporate governance attempts to overtake essential aspects such as freedom, truth, creativity, and decision-making. Furthermore, the focus on powerful individuals rather than on broader systems, risks the essential aspects and risks shifting toward dependence on “technical experts.” In such a scenario, attention centers on influential figures who ultimately decide who “saves” or “fails” the people. For example, a famine in one region might be discussed without connecting it to larger issues like taxation, technological planning, or the role of the feudal hierarchy.
Where are we? : United States, China and Europe As more countries across the globe exist and develop both within their internal structures and in relation to external ones a feudal technocracy emerges as a point of conflict. The difference is particularly visible in the Western sphere, which openly struggles to find a proper framework and pathway to balance its feudal technocracy with the values of liberal democracy. Furthermore, feudal technocracy simply requires arranging society around particular skills that are closely tied to economic impact. An example of this can be seen in the “onion” economic situation of the US.
The US is trying to divide the dollar by 30% in order to shrink the American export deficit. With their threading decision of traffis is an contradictory easy solution to try to rebalance the world. That means the Chinese payments system poses a serious long-term threat to the global monopoly of the dollar-denominated payments system and gives the Chinese government and its allies options that alleviate the fear of US sanctions.
However, in the European Union, the key to unlocking Europe’s chronically low level of investment lies in its defence industry. Shifting sectors toward the military and defense is seen as a way to balance economic challenges, as is visible in Germany. This reflects a kind of romanticization of its own condition lost under the weight of current geopolitical realities and the suffering of people around the world.
It is worth mentioning that internal debates in the political sphere revolve around who participates in the power game. For Germany, defining itself through its historical perspective and geopolitical position, it seems logical to hold on to a financially radical conservative mindset. Therefore, freedom is understood primarily in terms of the market and politics, rather than as the responsibility of individuals within the collective and vice versa.
A feudal technocracy is essentially an oligarchy of elites. These elites represent a monopoly on acquiring a particular skill. This could take the form of a political party, a cartel, a court of popes or hierophants, or some other institution. “Feudal” in this sense implies homage and slavery. The resource being hoarded much like land in traditional feudalism and is only drip-fed to the populace in exchange for control.
If this geopolitical game both effective and ineffective, is decided by those who play it through military force, then access to training in key technologies would likely be similarly controlled. The ruling class, bound together by interlocking promises of loyalty, would retain access to the higher education and training necessary to maintain control. to add the control access to military force (after all, one must be certain of being able to suppress a rebellion). In a low-law-level world, this might mean that the restrictions apply primarily to the ruling class, while most weapons are banned for the lower classes.
In essence, a concern is that in the next decades, authority will be granted to those who possess critical technical skills, rather than to those chosen democratically
