It's mostly of curiosity because it's your typical authoritarians who think they'll be able to use the 21st century equivalent of alchemy to make themselves the immortal, supreme rulers of mankind in perpetuity.

...yeah, I'm reading the original Dune series right now, but to me it really does sound like they all really want to become Leto II/Bob Page, unironically.

Also, it's kinda funny to see them try and reconcile fetishizing technology that's potentially equalizing and having said authoritarian bents eg. this article. For those who don't want to wade through NRx :words:, tl;dr "Technology is GREAT for individuals! But... it could be dangerous if the wrong sorts of people get their hands on it Therefore, technology should be ONLY for white male ubermenchen global rulers forever!"

Man, their version of the future sounds boring as gently caress. :geno:
