It is not a social policy, but a mechanism of control and stabilization in a hyper-automated economy where human labor ceases to be the core of production. AI is both the culprit and the engine of technocratic promises that will reshape humanity. You will not work, because you will not be able to, and you will be happy. The official narrative promises freedom: with a guaranteed income, each person could devote themselves to learning, creating or building projects. But beneath that promise lies the structural design of a system where machines generate value and the State, aligned with technological corporations, administers its distribution. UBI also operates as an instrument of algorithmic governance. With mandatory digital identities, programmable accounts, and continuous monitoring, income can become a tool of reward or punishment depending on citizen behavior. The technocratic argument is simple: if humans are no longer necessary for production, they must be maintained, managed, and contained. Basic income resolves social tension while ensuring political stability. However, the risk is clear. UBI could become the entry point to a deeply centralized model in which economic survival depends on compliance. A future where the State not only provides income but defines the limits of individual autonomy. In this image, you see a fragment from an article published in 'The Technocrats' Magazine' in 1933, showing how a universal income was already being proposed long before it had its current name. The key question is not whether UBI will exist, but under what conditions and who will set its rules. Source: https://archive.org/details/the-technocrats-magazine-1933_202011/mode/2up

#TechnocracySeries –Episode 2 ᴬⁿᵃˡʸᶻᵉ ʰⁱˢᵗᵒʳʸ ᵗᵒ ᵘⁿᵈᵉʳˢᵗᵃⁿᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖʳᵉˢᵉⁿᵗ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵃⁿᵗⁱᶜⁱᵖᵃᵗᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᵘᵗᵘʳᵉ THE ORIGIN OF TECHNOCRACY You can explore the rest of the episodes by searching for #TechnocracySeries Technocracy traces its origins to Columbia University in New York, led by Howard Scott and a group of engineers and scientists known as the “Technical Alliance”. Their conclusion was blunt: the Great Depression had revealed that the price-based capitalist system was exhausted and unable to coordinate a modern industrial economy. Joshua Norman Haldeman was a key figure in the Technocratic Movement in Canada during the 1930s. From 1936 to 1941, he served as director of research at the Canadian branch of Technocracy Inc. His legacy endures in historical documents and publications available at: https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Technocracy+Inc.%22 The proposal was bold: replace politics with engineering. A government run by technicians, organized under a model of extreme efficiency, and the creation of a "Technate" that would unify North and Central America. Sounds familiar? Trump hinted at annexing Greenland and treating Canada as another U.S. state. Elon Musk is Haldeman’s grandson on his mother’s side. Everyone knows Elon Musk, an emblematic figure of this century. Born in South Africa, Musk is today’s most influential entrepreneur. As CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and owner of X, he has reshaped terrestrial and space transportation. After co-founding PayPal, he channeled his wealth into audacious goals: accelerating the global energy transition and turning humanity into a multiplanetary species by colonizing Mars. He also pushes cutting-edge, often controversial technologies, from Neuralink (brain chips) to artificial intelligence through xAI. As the world’s richest man, his intense management style and polarizing personality divide public opinion, while his innovations continually redefine the limits of what is technologically possible. In the current Donald Trump administration, Musk took on a key role leading the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). From there, he seeks to dismantle state bureaucracy and slash public spending with the same engineering-driven mindset he applies to his companies. Being the richest man alive, he blends futuristic projects like Neuralink with unprecedented political influence, redefining not only technology but also the functions of the state itself. And it’s not far-fetched to imagine that, in a fully technocratic future, he could become the first Continental Director. Today, the U.S. Constitution prevents it, but that only applies as long as the United States remains the United States. The movement’s original vision was clear: a governance model designed by technicians, oriented toward efficiency, and structured into a "Technate" integrating all of North and Central America. Musk has since distanced himself from Trump due to clashing egos, but both are carving the same path. And between the two, I’d wager that the one who will concentrate more power in the coming years is Elon.

#TechnocracySeries -Episode 1 ᴬⁿᵃˡʸᶻᵉ ʰⁱˢᵗᵒʳʸ ᵗᵒ ᵘⁿᵈᵉʳˢᵗᵃⁿᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖʳᵉˢᵉⁿᵗ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵃⁿᵗⁱᶜⁱᵖᵃᵗᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᵘᵗᵘʳᵉ History is not a museum; it is a warning. And that depends on your focus. I have been saying this for a long time, and every new sign confirms it: democracy is obsolete, and it is slowly withering away in the face of a new form of government: technocracy. It does not arrive like a coup; it arrives like a silent update. Should you care? Yes, because what is coming is not a change of president, but a deep global social shift, a change in civilization. Power is migrating, leaving bankers behind and sliding toward technological oligarchies, in Silicon Valley, in China, everywhere. This is the new world order, being written line by line, algorithm by algorithm. In this series, I will reveal the coincidences, the hard facts, and the invisible thread that connects them. There is a protagonist you already know, the architect of the new system. I expect him to become the first Continental Director of the American technate. I will reveal who he is. You will see how everything converges in the same direction: technology becoming the engine of governance, an instrument of control, and the lever of mass surveillance on a scale unprecedented in human history. My main sources of analysis will be Technocracy Digest, The Technocrat, and The Technocrats' Magazine, published between the 1930s and 1970s, although they will not be the only sources. Welcome to the Technocracy Series. Here begins the future nobody asked for, but everyone will have to face.

Epic? It was a show put on by two speculative bankers who sell their business with network marketing so that the herd will buy their intermediation. Wake up, sheep, it's time to graze!

I'm going to say something that most people won't like: the worst enemy of privacy is not the government, bankers, or big tech, but your own ego and laziness. That ego that wants to show off with Bitcoin stickers on your car, or worse, Monero stickers, bragging on social media that you have 1 Bitcoin with your happy face on your profile, showing photos on the beaches of Aruba, 'Wen Lambo' style. Or that laziness that makes you avoid the effort of learning and practicing privacy as a daily habit. So, before pointing the finger at others who are exploiting your stupidity, remember: privacy is not achieved overnight, nor is it a goal; it is an everyday habit, a lifestyle. You can be your own best ally or your worst enemy.

The Ugly Old Phone That Beats Every Hardware Wallet A beaten-up, offline old phone can be the best hardware wallet you’ll ever own. No shiny gadgets needed. You take an old device, factory-reset it offline, keep it without SIM, WiFi, or Bluetooth. No accounts, no sync. Use a strong passcode, never biometrics. Remove every app you can, even system apps when possible, stripping the device down to the core. That’s where you keep your long-term funds. For daily spending, use separate wallets on other devices. Just like you don’t walk into a supermarket with all your life savings in your pocket, you shouldn’t do it digitally either. Safety measures: • Permanently turned off, radios disabled at the system level. • You only turn it on in controlled environments • You only connect online when you need to, using a VPN and your own secure Wi-Fi. • No need to scan QR codes, sign transactions offline and then connect to execute them online. • Handwritten seed backup, stored in two separate physical locations. Extra: you can reverse the order of some of the words of the seed and leave yourself a coded reminder that you have done so. • Periodic checks of battery health and storage • Fixed location, no lending the device, no unnecessary handling • A small metal box for physical protection and humidity control • Never install new apps, and if major changes are needed, rebuild the setup from scratch A cold vault for your real wealth. A normal phone for your daily life. That separation is what keeps you safe.

Tokenization won’t just reshape finance, it will alter the trajectory of humanity. Its reach will extend far beyond markets, rewiring the foundations of society. Governments will evolve, democracy will drift from its analog roots into algorithmic governance, a technocratic model. Power will migrate from banks to tech giants. This shift will define the new world order.

Dollar-pegged stablecoins are the first phase of the Fed's CBDC. Tokenizing the dollar. The e-dollar is on its way.

Do you understand the contradiction? You are supposed to have a hardware wallet for security, and to keep it hidden, not to walk around showing off the logo. The device should be as discreet as possible. It could even be designed to look like something else so that if someone accidentally sees it in a drawer on your desk, they won't be tempted to steal it. The easiest way to violate cryptographic security is with a wrench hitting you over the head and asking for the seed. Marketing for idiots.

Not suitable for maximalists: Technological diversity is the real strategy. True strength lies in the heterogeneity of environments. Decentralizing decentralization itself is the ultimate goal.

Traceable blockchains are the ultimate tool for freedom... specifically, freedom from state control of your every move. Algorithmic rules are replacing human decisions. Soon, the government will tokenize your wallet, your stocks, and your identity. You are no longer a person, just an obedient NFT in a centralized database. Don't worry about privacy; your existence is now a permanently auditable entry in a centralized chain. Smile for the smart contract! Welcome to the centralized ledger.

So you live in Europe or a G7 country and think you're free? Tell your naivety that China doesn't export ideology; it exports control. Stop dreaming about Western freedoms: take a look at the Chinese model. China isn't vintage communism; it's the future in 4K, gourmet technocracy. Start studying its “surveillance capitalism”, because it's the exact spoiler for your life in five years.

Do you understand this? All bankers around the world are on the crypto path, mainly Bitcoin and stablecoins. What do these networks have in common? Traceability. That is the basis for regulating them later. You can't control what you can't see. Signals of #Technocracy

Without critical thinking there is no privacy, and without privacy there is no freedom. Why? Without critical thinking, there is no questioning, and privacy loses its meaning. Without privacy, your freedom is vulnerable. So? By transitive property 👇🏻 No critical thinking, no freedom.

I was contacted by a law firm hired by the CEO of #Monero. They are threatening to sue me because I published this #Monero Manifesto, which is not registered and allegedly uses the trademark and slogans ©️ registered by Monero™️ http://liberlion.com/monero-manifesto/ What should I do? 😂

A new chapter of my book is next to be published: 'Understanding The Information Age. The Sovereign Individual.' ─Chapter 4: Politics and Digital Governance It is published under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license. It is free and open. Democracy will not die in a coup or with tanks in the streets. It will die quietly — update after update, click after click — while we accepted the terms & conditions without reading a single line. Power is no longer in parliaments or ballot boxes. It lives in servers, recommendation algorithms, biometric databases, and the boards of five corporations nobody elected. They decide what you see, what you think, what you buy, and who you hate. Total surveillance no longer needs secret agents or thick files. Your phone is enough. Your digital identity knows you better than your own mother. And that identity doesn’t belong to you — it belongs to whoever owns the infrastructure. Politics has been fully technified. We no longer debate ideas; we optimize metrics. Candidates aren’t people who persuade — they’re products that get A/B tested. Campaigns don’t mobilize; they micro-target. Voting still exists… but it decides less and less. The result: a hollow democracy. Perfect form, zero substance. Flawlessly functioning electronic ballots… to choose between options pre-approved by the people who wrote the code. The only way out? Individual technological sovereignty. Open systems, free software, decentralized infrastructure, end-to-end encryption. Whoever controls your tools controls you. Whoever controls their own tools stays free.

We have gone from the promise of 2009 that “no one can stop you” to the reality of 2025 that “everyone can see you” (and track you with forensic analysis). That's why #Monero

A consortium of 10 major EU banks, including BNP Paribas and ING, is forming Qivalis to launch a euro-pegged stablecoin by mid-2026 under the oversight of the Dutch Central Bank. The project complies with EU's MiCA framework to enable 24/7 cross-border payments and programmable finance, reducing reliance on USD-dominated stablecoins like USDT and USDC. Do you understand? Total tokenization is underway. The last link in the chain is you: Digital identity.

Where we are headed, you will need: Monero – truly private money Nostr – censorship-resistant social network Session – metadata-free messaging Matrix/Element – federated and scalable communication Linux – an operating system under your control GrapheneOS – hardened mobile system Tor – browsing and anonymity on the network LibreWolf – open and hardened browser Nextcloud – self-managed personal cloud Tutanota – end-to-end encrypted email A kit like this is not a luxury; it is room for maneuver. In an increasingly cataloged future, this is the minimum required to avoid living in the open. Learn about #privacy; it's the best time and money you'll ever spend. liberlion.com/privacy

It's a genuine shock 😏 The very moment bankers took an interest in the crypto industry, their political partners immediately sprang into action to 'regulate' the ecosystem's development. We were promised a paradise for the sovereign individual, and what we got, of course, was the thrilling and totally unexpected statist hell. What a marvelous journey for de-decentralization.
