Technocrats like Marc Andreessen are running amok in the Trump administration. How many years have I warned just how bat guano crazy these Technocrats are? Listen to the words coming out of their mouth! Americans derailed the Technocracy movement in the 1940s, and we must reject them again before they get a chance to drive us all to extinction.
Born and raised in the US Midwest, Andreessen rose to prominence as founder of computer services company Netscape in the 1990s and has become an intense advocate for Trump, even if his support came late.
Despite previously backing Democrats, Andreessen grew frustrated with the Biden administration’s strict cryptocurrency regulations and has built an expansive lobbying war chest to reverse them.
During the transition, he regularly visited Mar-a-Lago and helped fill administration positions as what he called an “unpaid intern.”
His venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, has backed major tech companies including Twitter (now known as X), AirBnb and Coinbase, and he is one of longest serving members on Meta’s board alongside Zuckerberg.
Andreessen, like his peers, is a committed “effective accelerationist” — part of a Silicon Valley movement that believes any restrictions on technological development, whether from government regulation or social concerns, are fundamentally harmful to human progress.

Marc Andreessen, cofounder of the massive venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz — which has its fingers in pretty much every pie in tech — has revealed an eyebrow-raising detail in his “techno-optimist” vision of the future.
