Digital Age Barons are Good or Bad?

 

Does anyone else find it strange that Seven (7) of the richest men on Earth aren't just billionaires, but also "Media Barons"?

Musk, Ellison, Bezos, Arnault, Brin, Page, Zuckerberg. They are all US citizens; but the same is replicating in other regions of the world; e.g. India where Adani & Ambani are controlling media waves and interestingly supporting "Hindutva Brigade". These group of individuals along with their media outlets own the feeds, papers, platforms and narratives that shape our reality and no one says a word. Welcome to "Digital Age!"


The digital age is the current era, starting in the mid-20th century, defined by a shift from industrial to information-based economies and the widespread use of computer and internet technology. It is characterized by the easy accessibility and manipulation of information, which has fundamentally changed how people communicate, work, and interact with the world. This era is also known as the information age or computer age.

Lets have a look at Key Characteristics of this Digital Age

Information and technology: Information is now predominantly digital, and activities are heavily computer-based. Advancements include the internet, personal computers, mobile devices, and artificial intelligence.

Rapid change: The digital age is defined by rapid advancements and constant change, including the fast digitization of data and services.

Accessibility: Information is more readily available to individuals, which has shifted power dynamics between institutions and the public.

Societal impact: The digital age has reshaped industries, economies, and social interactions through the rise of social media and online platforms. 

What are the Challenges and Implications of this "Digital Age"?

Information overload: The sheer volume of information available can be overwhelming.

Misinformation: The ease of sharing information has led to the spread of misinformation.

Privacy concerns: Increased digital activity raises concerns about personal data privacy.

Digital divide: There is an unequal access to technology, creating a gap between those who have it and those who don't.

New skills: Individuals and businesses must adapt, emphasizing lifelong learning, creative problem-solving, and digital literacy.


To comprehend the above statement; lets read an opinion from Jon Sneider titled "DARK MAGA".


Jon Sneider wrote the best explanation of why Trump / Elon are destroying America. If you're a little confused about what Musk is trying to achieve with DOGE, here's the breakdown:

Elon Musk and Peter Thiel cofounded a company that became PayPal. Other executives at PayPal went on to found or lead other huge tech companies including YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Affirm, and many VC firms. This group became known as the PayPal mafia because they basically controlled Silicon Valley. 


Peter Thiel mentored a young JD Vance and helped him get set up in his first VC firm. 

Peter Thiel and the PayPal mafia funded JD Vance's successful Senate run. Amazing because he had absolutely zero political experience. Thiel and Musk all but forced Trump to choose JD Vance as VP in exchange for funding his presidential campaign. 

The three of them, plus a lot of other tech billionaires subscribe to an ideology called the Dark Enlightenment espoused by this super weird, creepy dude: Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug. 


Yarvin preaches that the media and academia represent "The Cathedral" that secretly controls power and must be dismantled. 

He advocates for a corporate run, monarchy, led by a CEO-Dictator. He says that Democracy is an "outdated software" and openly opposes it and that:

- Government agencies should be dismantled and The U.S. should be broken up into "patchworks" controlled by tech oligarchs. 

- That the elite tech billionaires should rule because they have the intelligence to "fix" society

- That the "masses are asses" too dumb to govern themselves. 

The strategy is to gut the government via R.A.G.E - Retire All Govt Employees to make government incapable of operating. 


Then to replace government with private corporations. To eliminate elections because they are "obsolete". To use distraction and chaos to prevent public resistance. Trump is their useful tool to be disposed of as soon as they can wrest control. This is why Elon wears a black MAGA hat. They are not Trump supporters, they are "Dark MAGA"


This isn't a hypothetical. The plan is already in motion:

- Musk, Thiel, and their network are actively dismantling democratic institutions.

- JD Vance, the “MAGA heir,” is being positioned to help implement this transition.

- The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.

- If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced by a corporate-run authoritarian state.

Red Warning About Media Barons of Digital Age

Read the above opinion again; YES... That's it.; You got it Right... Now that you understand that you can see how everything that's happening fits within that lens. Now the only question is; what do we do about it?


It’s the same; how barons would donate to the church, to pay them to preach sermons; teaching a prosperity Gospel and not every great fortune comes from a great crime “Balzac in France” then the money is laundered.

They pretend to be innovators, but they are building a religion without God:

💻 Musk = communication

🛒 Bezos = commerce

🔎 Google = memory

📖 Meta = identity

🌐 Oracle / LVMH = authority + culture


They don’t want citizens or believers — they want digital subjects; their "zombies'". Its a new religion and they wish to be gods in that sphere. That's why; every Prophet of the religion from God All-Mighty, taught the same warning: Idols of power rise when people forget the Creator. These men replaced stone idols with algorithms, temples with platforms, priests with moderators. They’re not shaping technology — they’re shaping humanity itself. However, in the end, One God always breaks the idols of men; and interestingly, the brains behind all these are Zionist Jews who are planning the arrival and rule of "Anti-Christ" through "Armageddon"- a full scale world war bringing destruction to world and humanity at an unprecedented scale.


The above information reflects one single reality; the digital age has taken over a new form of religion, where all and every person may be entitled to have an opinion and place to vent his frustration; but in the end, all those opinions in favour or against only add up to more dollars in the kitty / pockets of the digital barons. However; it’s an interesting observation that "Media Ownership" concentrated among a few ultra-wealthy individuals; does raise questions about influence, perspectives, and how information is shaped for the public. It's a new form of kingship and control of the church of 15th century; with only difference that the church is godless now.


The "Digital Age Barons" in a "Global Village" space are very dangerous species; as they are not just rich but have power to control over not just a country or a region but the whole of the world. They have the power to ingress each and every citizen's privacy and domain with out warning or even notice as do it discretely and silently. They are wholesomely working for the control like one eye demon.

What to do Now?

The main advantages of the digital age include enhanced communication and connectivity, greater access to information and education, increased efficiency and productivity through automation, and new opportunities for innovation, creativity, and economic growth. It provides convenience, allows for remote work, improves business operations, and facilitates access to resources like entertainment and navigation tools. The digital age has empowered common man and it will really benefit the greater part of humanity; if the common man takes responsibility of guarding his own interests and rights and delivers in his duties. 


The future of any country, nation and civilization rests with new generation and advantages of the digital age for the new generation are extensive, impacting nearly every aspect of life from education and communication to career development and civic engagement. The new generation must be aware that they are up against Artificial Intelligence (AI); which is actually the collective wisdom of the past and their civic engagement shall be global, across borders and sans any cast, creed and dogmas. Therefore, they must now generate new rules of the games based on reasons and logics for greater connectivity and betterment of humanity at large.
