A beige-toned educational graphic titled “Word of the Day” defines “NeoCameralism” in a bold serif font. The text explains that NeoCameralism is a system, originally proposed by Dark Enlightenment philosopher Curtis Yarvin and inspired by Prussian cameralism, in which a state functions as a business that owns a country.

What does Elon Musk believe?

The man given free rein by Trump to crusade against the federal government supported Democrats until 2022. But some of Musk’s longstanding positions lead a straight line to his far-right sympathies

"Reclaiming UBI" casts a critical eye on the dominant discourse to investigate whose interests these narratives actually serve. Is the UBI we’re being sold a genuinely transformative proposal, or a moral alibi for existing power imbalances?

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! An Anthropic/OpenAI researcher just quit, sounding the alarm that tech elites ARE GAMBLING WITH HUMAN EXISTENCE. They are recklessly racing to build uncontainable, self-improving superintelligence that can hack anything and grab real power. Demand regulation NOW!

A screenshot of two tweets from user Jacob Coxon (@hilbertspaess), posted on September 8, 2026.

In the first tweet, Coxon announces his resignation from Anthropic after three years of pretraining research at OpenAI and Anthropic. He states that neither company is acting responsibly and accuses them of "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives."

The second, reply tweet warns not to underestimate the power of this technology, predicting that these systems will soon become superhuman, capable of hacking anything, revolutionizing fields overnight, and acquiring real power and resources.

I 100% he's serious here. I don't think it's cartering or anything of the sort. people miss that the halmark of out techelites isn't just believing the most stupid toddler-brained matiné-level mass-produced scifi shit imaginable. it's also NOT believing the most obvious stuff.

Balaji (a close associate of Thiel & Andreessen) leads the “network state” movement, which encourages tech elites to build their own “countries” by acquiring physical territory w/in host countries & building “parallel institutions” to replace existing ones in media, education, finance, & science 1/

6/14 Elon Musk exemplifies this trend. With a "planetary" brand (Tesla, SpaceX), he's linked his extraplanetary aims with MAGA nationalism—a movement resistant to the very planetary institutions needed to govern our expanding agency.
