How Tech Bros Like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel want to Shape Our Future

In this special episode, we're tackling the intriguing—and often troubling—world of "techno-libertarianism." We sit down with tech entrepreneur and researcher David Troy to unpack this movement’s bold vision of a future free from government control and centralized institutions, driven entirely by technology.

What You'll Hear:

• Big Ideas and Bold Players: Discover the ideas of influential figures like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, who argue that governments are outdated and inefficient. They’re betting on digital systems to replace traditional institutions, but is this vision realistic—or reckless?
• Hidden Risks and Global Power Plays: We’ll explore how these techno-libertarian goals may align with international destabilization efforts, raising the stakes and the risks on a global scale.
• The Road Ahead: What happens if these ideas gain traction? Hear about possible outcomes that could reshape society, and why it’s crucial for all of us to look beyond the hype.

Why Tune In?
This episode encourages listeners to think critically about a techno-libertarian future and the impacts it could have on democracy, equity, and social stability. Don't miss this deep and eye-opening conversation—because the future it envisions just might be closer than you think.
