THE BELIEF
The idea that tech companies can and should be bigger than governments is a core tenet of the ideology that has come to dominate the tech industry. Proponents of this view, such as Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, argue that the traditional nation-state is an outdated institution that stifles innovation and creativity. They believe that tech companies, with their ability to scale rapidly and adapt quickly to changing circumstances, are better equipped to address the complex problems facing society. This idea is often linked to the concept of "technocracy," where experts in technology and innovation are seen as the most qualified to make decisions about the direction of society.
THE ORIGIN
The roots of this idea can be traced back to the work of thinkers such as Friedrich Hayek and Ayn Rand, who argued that the state is inherently inefficient and that individual freedom and creativity are best protected by limiting the power of government. The concept of technocracy gained traction in the 20th century, particularly in the work of thinkers such as Buckminster Fuller and Buckminster Fuller's friend, the engineer and philosopher, R.
