In this series, Iain Davis examines how a group of Silicon Valley oligarchs is working to destabilize the planet in order to achieve their goal of a multipolar world of interconnected smart-city states \u2013 that is, a regionalized world over which they and their oligarchic partners will rule as neofeudal monarchs.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A powerful collective of Silicon Valley oligarchs, as we will see, seized control of the second Trump administration and now effectively steer it. They like to be called by many names: accelerationists, neoreactionaries, technocrats, the \u201ctech bros,\u201d \u201ctech kings,\u201d CEO dictators, and much more. Now we can add \u201cpraxians\u201d to this list.<\/p>\n

The Praxians are part of a global oligarchic network that exploits public-private partnerships \u2013 stakeholder capitalism \u2013<\/em> to keep humanity trapped in its digital panopticon. The predominantly US-based, Silicon Valley-rooted wing of this global oligarchy \u2013<\/em> the Praxians \u2013<\/em> extends beyond what many call the PayPal mafia. Besides Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman, Alex Karp, Joe Lonsdale, and other influential PayPal figures, those supporting the current US administration and apparently sharing the Praxians’ goals include Mark Andreessen, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Palmer Luckey, and others.<\/p>\n

Both within the US and internationally, this group of venture capitalists and technology entrepreneurs is attempting to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and population surveillance technologies \u2013 what the United Nations (UN) calls \u201cfrontier technology<\/em>\u201d \u2013 to firmly establish technocracy as a global system of government. At the existing level of global governance, the UN, which operates as a public-private partnership, is also striving to introduce technocracy.<\/p>\n

One of the flagship projects of the Silicon Valley-linked oligarchs is the \u201cworld’s first digital nation<\/em>\u201d praxis project in Greenland. The Trump administration’s attempts to conquer Greenland were no coincidence. Given the intoxicating mix of strange new theological concepts, pseudo philosophy, and blatant techno-feudal imperialism that these oligarchs apparently favour, it is noteworthy that the word \u201cpraxis<\/em>\u201d means: the process of putting a theory into practice.<\/p>\n

The people who support the Praxis Nation project call themselves \u201cPraxians.\u201d The Praxis website claims there are more than 151,000 Praxians in 401 cities across 82 countries, whose businesses are collectively valued at more than $1.1 trillion. Perhaps there are indeed that many, but the businesses that account for the bulk of the claimed $1.1 trillion valuation are controlled by a tightly knit cartel of Praxian oligarchs, whose numbers are relatively small.<\/p>\n

The Praxians’ social engineering toolkit includes technocracy combined with the implementation of ideas stemming from an ideology called Dark Enlightenment. Building on the online nation-building techniques described in Balaji Srinivasan’s 2022 book The Network State<\/em>, the Praxians are attempting to establish a network or \u201cpatchwork\u201d of smart city-states controlled by the private sector.<\/p>\n

The Praxians envision sovereign corporations (sovcorps), led by CEO-dictators, the \u201cTechnoKings,\u201d providing \u201cgovernance as a service<\/em>\u201d to the people who will live as customers of their smart city states, the rich. Curtis Yarvin, one of the leading neoreactionary gurus of the Praxians, who describes himself as a \u201cneoreactionary<\/em>,\u201d proposes the creation of a \u201cpatchwork of riches<\/em>.\u201d For example, he imagines \u201cdeterritorializing<\/em>\u201d Central Europe into a privately controlled, but diplomatically recognized patchwork of \u201cneostates<\/em>.\u201d Nick Land, the author of Dark Enlightenment<\/em> and described by the Praxian and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen as the \u201cpatron saint<\/em>\u201d of neoreaction, suggests that the \u201cdeterritorialization<\/em>\u201d of nations would allow for their subsequent \u201creterritorialization<\/em>\u201d into large corporations run by what he calls \u201cGov-Corp<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Praxians sell their plans to libertarians who may have been misled by oligarch propagandists into supporting the oligarchs’ agenda. A persistent Praxian deception we might call the \u201cdecentralization-to-recentralization trick<\/em>.\u201d While rank-and-file Praxians may cling to the libertarian principle of decentralization, the Praxians’ plan is to centralize \u2013 to reterritorialize \u2013 their power and that of their oligarchic partners across the entire \u201cpatchwork of empires<\/em>.\u201d Oligarchs couldn’t care less about libertarianism. They value digital dictatorship, technocracy, and the Dark Enlightenment, and they use accelerationism to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n

Praxian accelerationism<\/strong><\/p>\n

First proposed in the early 20th century, it is 21st-century technology that makes the global establishment of technates \u2013<\/em> societies and legal systems governed by technocracy \u2013<\/em> a realistic prospect. Praxians have used, and continue to use, accelerationism to promote the construction of an international patchwork of emerging technates.<\/p>\n

Accelerationism is a proven praxian tool. It is an aggressive investment strategy in \u201cdisruptive technologies<\/em>.\u201d The goal is to use \u201ccreative destruction<\/em>\u201d to disrupt markets, socioeconomic systems, related sociopolitical systems, and nations, in order to subsequently re-territorialize them as a patchwork of SovCorp empires. Ultimately, they are to be re-territorialized under a sovereign GovCorp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In his 2017 article A Quick and Dirty Introduction To Accelerationism<\/em>, Nick Land wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this nascent accelerationist matrix, no distinction can be made between the destruction of capitalism and its intensification. The self-destruction of capitalism is the essence of capitalism. \u2018Creative destruction\u2019 is its core principle. [\u2026\u2026.] Capital is revolutionizing itself more thoroughly than any external \u2018revolution\u2019 ever could.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

In part, this was Land’s commentary on the accelerationist approach already pursued by the Praxians. The veneration of venture capitalism as a revolutionary force strongly appeals to transnational capitalist oligarchs who view nation-states as squares on a large chessboard.<\/p>\n

Praxian accelerationism manifests itself through the use of \u201cseed accelerators<\/em>,\u201d often also called startup accelerators, which differ somewhat from startup incubators. Startup accelerators provide new companies with short-term seed funding, often combined with mentoring, networking support, and training\u2013usually in exchange for a substantial equity stake in the startup. Incubators are longer-term investments that typically require less equity from the startup. By focusing their startup accelerators on young companies specializing in disruptive technologies, Praxians seek to abruptly and irrevocably modify \u2013 and thus steer and control \u2013 technological development, resource allocation, manufacturing processes, financial and monetary systems, global markets, economies, and consequently, governments and nations.<\/p>\n

The Praxian accelerationist investment approach is a recognizable hallmark: Their seed accelerators initiate startups or research projects in the field of disruptive technologies. Investment firms associated with the Praxians, such as Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Founders Fund, then increase investments in subsequent funding rounds to foster promising creative destruction. Once the disruption is underway and commercial potential exists, initial public offerings (IPOs) often follow to attract further investors. The Praxians then use their private equity funds to further drive expansion or transfer them to the investment management companies of their oligarch partners, such as BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard.<\/p>\n

The Praxians’ \u201cY Combinator\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2005, the Praxians founded the \u201cY Combinator\u201d (YC) as the world\u2019s first seed accelerator. This occurred two years before the neo-reactionary thinker Curtis Yarvin, a close confidant of Peter Thiel, began writing his blog Unqualified Reservations<\/em>, and seven years before Nick Land published the Yarvin-influenced work The Dark Enlightenment.<\/em><\/p>\n

YC is run by investors who fund startups like Paradigm in \u201cbatches\u201d using a standardized accelerator investment protocol. YC is essentially just a facade in an investment scam orchestrated by Praxian.<\/p>\n

Private venture capital (VC) firms like Sequoia Capital fund startups like Paradigm after an initial seed investment from YC. Like all major investment houses, Sequoia Capital is very secretive about the identities of the individual investors it represents. In Sequoia Capital’s case, however, it’s fairly obvious that Praxians are among those investors.<\/p>\n

Conversely, companies funded by YC, such as Paradigm, which specializes in investments in \u201ccrypto, AI, robotics, and emerging frontiers<\/em>,\u201d create a further dividing line between the Praxians’ angel investments and the projects they actually control. The clues are there if you look closely.<\/p>\n

When Paradigm led a funding round for the start-up \u201cPraxis Nation\u201d, the connection of the new nation to YC and the sham business of the Praxians were clearly recognizable:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team includes founders of publicly listed companies [and] executives from Y Combinator.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Paradigm is led by Matt Huang, an MIT graduate and early Bitcoin proponent whose first startup, Hotspot, was funded by angel investors at YC.<\/p>\n

The current president and CEO of YC is Garry Tan, who was originally recruited by Peter Thiel to co-found Palantir. Reportedly, the timing wasn’t right for Tan, but he soon joined Palantir as its tenth employee. Garry Tan plays a prominent role in the ACTS 17 Collective, which aims to introduce a peculiar model of Christianity to tech entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.<\/p>\n

Trae Stephens is another early Palantir employee, as well as co-founder of the defense company Anduril Industries and a partner in Peter Thiel’s venture capital firm, Founders Fund. He is another crusader for ACTS 17. In 2025, Peter Thiel gave a fifty-five-minute lecture to ACTS 17 supporters at Garry Tan’s house.<\/p>\n

Before Tan, Sam Altman, the current CEO of OpenAI, was president and CEO of YC. Like Huang’s Hotspot, Altman’s startup Loopt was also funded by YC in 2005 when Altman was just 19 years old. Peter Thiel briefly joined the YC team in 2015, and Altman, then president and CEO of YC, welcomed Thiel upon his short tenure, saying, \u201cPeter is one of the two people (along with PG [Paul Graham]) who have taught me the most about how to invest in startups<\/em>.\u201d Thiel taught Altman about accelerationism, and they remain \u201cvery close friends<\/em>\u201d to this day.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Altman’s OpenAI became the first partner company of YC Research (YCR). The various YCR projects were then spun off by Altman and eventually integrated into OpenResearch. Among its many groundbreaking projects, OpenResearch conducted the largest trial of universal basic income (UBI) in the US to date.<\/p>\n

There’s no point in hiding behind obfuscation tactics. We can be sure where all this is leading.<\/p>\n

In a post for Unlimited Hangout<\/em>, researcher and journalist Stavroula Pabst highlighted the pitfalls of UBI by examining Altman’s Worldcoin project. Worldcoin was the result of OpenResearch’s UBI experiments in the US. To gain access to Worldcoin, \u201ccustomers\u201d need to submit their biometric identification data \u2013 iris scans \u2013 to the Praxians. Once the Praxians have created your digital \u201cvalue\u201d \u2013 there is no other in the Praxian universe \u2013 your digital identity is bound to your programmable \u201cmoney,\u201d which you receive in the form of the founder’s Worldcoin in your Praxian-approved digital wallet.<\/p>\n

The public-private state that supposedly distributes \u201cfree money\u201d (UBI) may seem like an appealing idea to some. It is never free. Pabst noted: \u201cWorldcoin uses smart contracts, a digital infrastructure that is crucial for the currency’s programmability<\/em>.\u201d Thus, receiving your Worldcoin UBI will be subject to conditions. All your spending is programmed, and your behaviour can and will be monitored. This ironclad control of the population’s behaviour is central to Praxian ideology.<\/p>\n

Returning to YC: Altman’s career took off when Loopt, with YC’s support, secured additional seed funding from Sequoia Capital. Unsurprisingly, Matt Huang, a YC graduate, later became a partner at Sequoia Capital (2014\u20132018), where he was credited with \u201cleading the firm’s cryptocurrency activities<\/em>.\u201d Two years after Huang’s influence and departure, Sequoia Capital heavily promoted Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) cryptocurrency exchange FTX, subsequently investing $150 million in FTX’s Series B funding round in July 2021.<\/p>\n

In September 2022, Sequoia wrote a glowing testimonial for SBF, noting that Sequoia partner Alfred Lin had used his \u201cintellect<\/em>\u201d and, after years of intensive study of cryptocurrencies, decided that a large investment by Sequoia Capital in FTX would generate \u201chuge amounts of money<\/em>.\u201d Although it was a relatively small investment by Sequoia Capital’s standards, the public hype surrounding the companies, evidently fuelled by the YC accelerationists Praxians, contributed to FTX’s massive $32 billion overvaluation, which led to its collapse just weeks later in November 2022. SBF was convicted of fraud in March 2024 and sentenced to 25 years in prison.<\/p>\n

While the collapse of FTX wasn’t immediately advantageous for Sequoia Capital, it was undoubtedly a boon for the Praxians. This is despite the fact that SBF, through his trading firm Alameda Research, was an early investor in Praxis Nation. The nervousness surrounding the unregulated crypto industry, heightened by the FTX debacle, further fuelled the passage of Trump’s GENIUS Act, from which the Praxians will certainly benefit directly.<\/p>\n

Following SBF’s arrest, Sequoia Capital informed its shareholders:<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking risks is part of our business. Some investments will be a good surprise, others a bad one.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

A risky \u201cbad surprise\u201d could be the potential complicity of the Praxians in the corporate manslaughter of Texan men, women, and children. Alfred Lin (representing Sequoia Capital), Peter Thiel, and Marc Andreessen were among the leading investors in Long Journey Ventures, which financed the geoengineering company Rainmaker.<\/p>\n

Rainmaker was busy flying drones and sowing clouds with silver iodide in Texas Hill County on July 2, 2025 \u2013 two days before flash floods killed at least 135 people in Texas Hill and neighbouring Kerr County. The officially recognized fact-checkers were quick to deny any causal link to Rainmaker. The \u201cfact kings\u201d reported on their conversations with \u201cexperts\u201d who categorically ruled out any possible connection. This authoritative verdict was nonsense, but probably understandable.<\/p>\n

The risks associated with cloud seeding are poorly understood and far from being fully understood. In December 2024, just eight months before the catastrophic floods in Texas, the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) lamented the \u201cunavailable or unreliable data<\/em>\u201d regarding cloud seeding and the \u201cuncertain safety of using silver iodide<\/em>.\u201d After \u201cconducting interviews with a range of stakeholders<\/em>\u201d and conducting an \u201cexpert meeting that included scientists<\/em>,\u201d the GAO examined the risk-benefit analysis of cloud seeding and concluded the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to limited knowledge regarding its effectiveness, it is difficult to assess the impact of cloud seeding.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

It is known that cloud seeding, also known as \u201cpluviculture,\u201d has been carried out in the past immediately before devastating floods in the same region. For example, in 1952, the British government conducted cloud seeding in Devon, England, as part of Operation Cumulus<\/em>, shortly before the Lynmouth flood disaster, which claimed 32 lives. Immediately before the truly unprecedented floods of April 2024 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), scientists from the UAE’s National Centre for Meteorology (NCM) reportedly stated that the NCM was conducting pluviculture. Five deaths related to the UAE floods were later confirmed.<\/p>\n

While there is no proven link between pluviculture and deadly floods, there is also no basis for arbitrarily declaring cloud seeding indisputably safe. A basic understanding of correlation should suffice to justify a moratorium until the effects of these geoengineering measures are properly understood \u2013 or at least honestly discussed. The bold assurances of safety from fact-checkers after the Texas disaster, which particularly exonerated the Praxians, were high-risk denials based on absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n

As will become clear, the Praxians are prone to error. They are not omniscient and frequently make mistakes. Unfortunately, it is evident how the network of Praxian oligarchs manipulates everything from wars and economic crises to the redesign of the monetary system and more. If any group is inclined to research the military application of weather modification, it is they. As we will see, they certainly do not hesitate to kill people to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n

Journalists Mark Goodwin and Whitney Webb reported on another significant event that clearly reeked of Praxian manipulation. The Praxians blatantly exploited the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB): a financial catastrophe that then spread to the larger and more influential Signature Bank, as well as the smaller but still important Silvergate Bank.<\/p>\n

All three banks, especially Signature Bank, played a central role in financing the crypto industry. Goodwin and Webb reported: \u201cThe day before SVB collapsed, Peter Thiel\u2019s Founders Fund withdrew funds and advised his clients to do the same, triggering a deposit flight<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to the collapse of SVB in March 2023 \u2013 and the subsequent, seemingly inevitable collapses of Signature and Silvergate \u2013 Palmer Luckey, along with Joe Lonsdale and Peter Thiel, officially founded Erebor Bank in July 2025. Erebor’s openly stated goal is to fill the liquidity and financial services gap created by the demise of SVB, Signature, and Silvergate. It appears that the Praxians were involved in triggering the collapse of SVB and then used the chaos to establish Erebor, thereby consolidating and expanding their influence in the crypto industry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Less than three months later, in October 2025, Erebor received full approval to commence operations from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). As FirstPost<\/em> reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn its application, Erebor stated that it aims to \u2018become the most regulated company that conducts and enables transactions with stablecoins,\u2019 to promote the \u2018broader acceptance of stablecoins,\u2019 and to accept cryptocurrencies as collateral for certain loans.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The claim that they are \u201cmost regulated<\/em>\u201d is an extremely misleading statement by the Praxians, as the oversight of their stablecoin and crypto projects is, to say the least, opaque. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) \u2013 although an agency within the U.S. Treasury Department \u2013 is uniquely independent of the U.S. government.<\/p>\n

For Praxians, being able to issue their own digital currencies is of crucial importance. The initiators of the Praxis Nation project, almost all of whom are associated with YC, include Pronomos Capital (notably supported by Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen), Balaji Srinivasan (author of The Network State<\/em>), Patri Friedman (another Thiel prot\u00e9g\u00e9 who works at Pronomos Capital alongside Srinivasan), Joe Lonsdale, Sam Altman, SBF, and other neo-reactionary accelerationists.<\/p>\n

It’s a consistent, relentless feature of this Trump administration: A public-private partnership between the Praxians and the US government delivers exactly what the Praxians want. This could all be a huge coincidence, or we could take the Praxians at their word.<\/p>\n

Praxians in power<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Praxians are extremely fond of metaphors, Aesopian language, inside jokes, and symbolism. As fans of science fiction and fantasy who try to be ironically \u201ccool,\u201d the names they choose for their companies betray their characteristic nerdiness. For example, Erebor, Anduril, Palantir, Mithril Capital, Sauron Systems, etc., are all Praxian companies aptly named as an homage to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Praxians are undoubtedly familiar with the famous quote by Tolkien, which would be so well suited as a fitting Praxian proverb:<\/p>\n

\u201cOne ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to gather them all and in the darkness bind them.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) restructured the federal government and granted private contractors access to sensitive government data, including federal spending plans and citizens’ financial, employment, and social security data. Trump issued an executive order (EO) to eliminate information silos, enabling oligarch-owned tech companies like Palantir and Oracle to create unified datasets, centralizing control over the personal data of millions of U.S. citizens, including their health records. Trump also made U.S. energy reserves available to power the oligarchs’ planned expansion of the \u201cStargate\u201d AI data centre. He pressured America’s defence contractors to prioritize rapid innovation and high-tech warfare systems, paving the way for the Silicon Valley oligarch consortium to increase its influence in the U.S. defence sector. Through the GENIUS Act<\/em>, the Trump administration has effectively given these oligarchs the power to issue their own currencies backed by the US dollar, which is perfect for the network startups of the Praxians.<\/p>\n

The Praxians’ sprawling network of trading empires reinforces itself. They invest in each other’s technological \u201cstart-up\u201d companies, thus relentlessly maximizing the impact of their accelerationism.<\/p>\n

On November 5, 2025, the official White House X account posted a meme showing Trump in the centre of the proposed flag of the Practice Nation. It is an odd choice for a national flag, ominously dark and threatening.<\/p>\n
