TECHNO FEUDALISM, THE DARK ENLIGHTNMENT AND OTHER NIGHTMARES
In the present video Jay Dyer is talking with Courteney Turner (Substack) about what is usually referred to as technocracy. It covers trends like transhumanism, 15 minute cities, techno feudalism and techno paganism, the Dark Enlightenment and various other Utopian ideas, both from the left and the right, but carrying a distinctly libertarian stamp. It must be pointed out though, that the boundary between total freedom and tyranny, is fragile. These people are playing all sides. They have no principles, as long as they can realize their visions of the techno future.
July 15, 2025 Jay Dyer: Antichrist & The Beast System? Game B & The Dark Enlightenment!
Recently we have been posting some of the analyses making the rounds of an interview of New York Times journalist Ross Douthat with tech guru, Peter Thiel (link), which made me physically sick (I am still having nightmares).
The video with Dyer and Courtneney is well worth going through, as we must realize how these groups operate. They infiltrate and coopt any movement they think, can bring their vision closer, least of which not various Christian groups.
This is why Thiel is now posing as a Christian convert. It brings home that you can't be careful enough in dealing with any ideas and developments coming out of the US, where a lot of people with too much money and a great appetite for power have been congregating.
A word about Utopianism. We tend to call that idealism. But both Utopia and idealism are terms that have completely been redefined over the centuries, purposely or not.
Idealism does not refer to beautiful visions of some far off, impossible moral landscape of the future. It refers to the word "idea". The Idealists are a bunch of German speculative philosophers from the late Enlightenment period that have given us notions of reality that are divorced from the real world.
This disaster is responsible for much of the drama we are currently going through in Western culture. The Idealists exchanged reality with abstractions. Read more about Kant (link), Hegel and Karl Marx (link) in our section about the Counter Enlightenment.
Utopianism is an equally horrible concept, dating back to 1551 as the name of an imaginary island enjoying utmost perfection in legal, social, and political systems, coined by Thomas More and used as title of his book published 1516.
Utopia literally means "nowhere", from Greek elements, ou "not" + topos "place". Often incorrectly reduced to Greek eu- "good", an error reinforced by the introduction of dystopia by 1844.
A few passages from our upcoming book, dealing among other topics, with Utopianism which is rooted in the birth of the secular state.
"Coming on the heels of the Classical Liberals of the Enlightenment, the anti philosophers of the Idealist era contributed to their efforts to design the ideal of the secular state, unifying heaven and earth, in order to build paradises on earth."But two and a half centuries of utopian social experiments have learnt that they invariably turn into dystopies instead.
"That is inevitable because of the morality that undergirds utopianism. The striving for 'a better society' in a secular state is elevated to such a moral imperative, that everything is allowed in order to achieve that goal.
"From their lofty perch on top of society, dissenters who refuse to self-sacrifice to the noble cause, are looked upon as mere pawns to be eliminated as obstacles to the common good.
"We are keeping an online presence with a blog with the title, "The Dystopia of Paradise". This is the story behind that title of the blog.
"Secularism is in essence an antichristian pseudo religion. Reason is there to serve economic prosperity, which is now morphing into technological progress. 'Stagnation' (a short period that no new techno stuff comes on the market) is seen as a threat" (according to Peter Thiel).
"Materialism and reason are the basic axioms of secularism. Belief in what can't be measured, is superstition. Morals, such as we have, are not objective but have evolved from social constructs. Because, you can't derive morality from material facts.
"The eschatology of Christ's Second Coming and the Kingdom of God was turned into the hell scape of secular utopianism of various shades, from Communism and Nazism to Nationalism and liberalism."
