jeff bezos’ transformation reveals something very significant. once dismissed as nerds, uncool, and socially awkward, these individuals have transformed into the new feudal lords of our age. back in the ’80s and ’90s, they were the quiet kids tinkering with computers, intelligent but lacking influence. today, they sit at the very top of the tech industry and global capitalism.
their power rivals that of the oil tycoons of the early 20th century but with a far greater reach. this is because technological infrastructure doesn’t just shape the economy—it reshapes politics, culture, and social behavior. through algorithms, data management, and so-called technological innovation, they are now directly influencing political decisions.
what was once a dream of “making the world a better place” has morphed into a justification for their unchecked dominance. even more concerning is how this power is being wielded outside of democratic processes. these lords believe they can “solve” everything—viewing complex social problems as mere datasets waiting to be optimized.
this movement has nearly turned into a modern technocracy cult, and its effects are only now becoming visible. the techno-feudal lords are no longer content with being “the quiet, intelligent kids of the family”; they are openly vying to become the principal actors of a global power coalition.
where this will lead is uncertain, but one thing is clear: every day, these lords are “hacking” the world and reshaping it in their own image.
