Figures like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel aren’t merely industrialists; they operate as political influencers and philosophical thought-leaders, reshaping the public sphere. This is the closing keynote of Renegade Futurism: Tech and the New Political Counterculture, a two-day conference bringing together voices from across the tech ecosystem: makers, critics, entrepreneurs, and scholars to explore how technology is spawning a new political counterculture, and what that means for the future of democracy, citizenship, and global order. #BalajiSrinivasan #TheNetworkState #DigitalSovereignty #CryptoGovernance #Decentralization #Web3 #NetworkStates #FutureOfSociety #RenegadeFuturism #TechAndPolitics
