The Rise of Mega Media and Technological Feudalism

The discussion focuses on the emergence of mega media as a reaction to perceived dishonesty from traditional media networks. People are expressing their frustrations and seeking platforms where they can speak freely, leading to the rise of alternative media channels. The concept of techno-feudalism is introduced, highlighting the idea that modern elites, especially in Silicon Valley, are advocating for a governance model led by technocrats rather than democratic principles. This shift reflects a broader cultural movement that attempts to replace the values of the American founding with new, often authoritarian ideologies.
