Technological developments threaten the power of politicians. The arrest of Pavel Durov is part of the fight of politicians against technology.

Following in the footsteps of Pavel Durov

The arrest of Pavel Durov ⁽¹⁾ is more than just the detention of one of the founders of Telegram by the French police. The arrest of Pavel Durov is one of the many actions of politicians to maintain their power over humanity. Politicians do not control the world. But politicians control the description of this world.

By manipulating information, politicians maintain their own power over voters, but not the world :) Thanks to the development of technology, this is becoming increasingly difficult every year. Thanks to technology, people can independently learn about what is happening in the world without politicians. Therefore, any businessman promoting technology to the masses of people challenges the power of politicians. Such businessmen have three options:

1. Submit to politicians and give them control of technology. And that means destroying the main value of technology - the reliability of information.

2. Become an enemy of politicians and provide technology to people as it is.

3. Stop doing the dangerous business of distributing technology among people. And that means slowing down scientific and technological progress.

The Decline of Political Elites

Pavel Durov, through the efforts of politicians, will be forced to make his choice in the near future. This choice will sooner or later be made by all businessmen who have achieved success in the development of information technology. Each businessman will have his own choice.

However, it is obvious that the development of technology poses a threat to politicians. The first strike of the death bell for politicians sounded in 2016 in the United States. That year, due to technology, politicians lost control of the situation. A free account in a free social network turned out to be the most effective way of political struggle! This was the main result of the US presidential elections for humanity.

For the first time, technology has called into question the power of politicians! Money, control of "independent" media and everything else on which the power of politicians is based turned out to be weaker than a free account in a free social network! Everyone saw that the real world does not correspond to the picture that politicians create. The choice of voters did not correspond to the wishes of the media :)

The flag of politicians fell. But they quickly came to their senses. Technologies were torn from Trump's hands. The 45th President of the United States was banned from using Twitter in his own country! This is an unprecedented step. But what to do when the class of politicians themselves are threatened? It was necessary to save political power! To save dozens of rich political donors, hundreds of TV channels, thousands of newspapers and tens of thousands of journalists whose opinions always coincide with the opinions of politicians :) It was necessary to act tough and decisively in order to maintain control over voters.

Did Trump understand what a threat he was bringing to the entire class of politicians by cleverly using Twitter? This question remains unanswered! But it is obvious that businessmen who have achieved success in the field of information technologies understand the potential of this business sector very well. It was not by chance that Elon Musk bought Twitter! The best advertisement for the purchase of this social network was Donald Trump's presidential campaign!

The near future

Further development of scientific and technological progress will destroy politicians as a class of human society. Humanity has become too developed to live in the fictitious reality created by politicians. This reality is so miserable that it holds back the development of humanity. Politicians will disappear like chimney sweeps or alchemists.

However, politicians are not yet ready to leave the stage voluntarily. They are trying to fight by arresting businessmen and trying to take control of technological development. This leads to unusual lines of division in society.

IT businessmen who are trying to maintain independence are becoming oppositional to politicians. Despite differences in political views, citizenship and nationality, these businessmen are trying to support each other in the fight against politicians.

And it's not just that politicians are trying to take businessmen under control. The fact is that the actions of modern politicians have long been holding back the development of the business of people like Elon Musk. Technologies require the unification, not the separation, of people. But politicians act within the national borders of their states. Even globalization is carried out on the basis of this principle. And this buries the hopes of creating a single human society. And therefore buries the hopes of people like Elon Musk.

It is not surprising that Elon Musk condemned the arrest of Pavel Durov.⁽²⁾ For the first time, opposition to politicians is being created within human society! And this opposition is being created by businessmen who are not satisfied with the current political system on earth. So far, this opposition is "corporate" and consists of large businessmen without much participation from ordinary people. However, the technological capabilities of Elon Musk and Pavel Durov will allow the creation of mass resistance to politicians very quickly!

Remembering the successful experience of Donald Trump, we can say that such a social movement will defeat traditional political parties. This is obvious. But something else is not obvious. What can IT businessmen offer to the mass voter? So far, businessmen like Elon Musk have not made such statements. Let's try to fantasize on this topic.

The proposal must be based on technology and challenge the current political structure of the world. What could it be:

1. Global digital earnings market. This is when any earthling gets a free or affordable (for a small price) opportunity to engage in various legal businesses on the Internet. Anyone who wants to is provided with a device and Internet access at a single rate or for free. We are talking about selling goods, content and services without restrictions. A single payment system, a single delivery system, a single certification system, etc. One global market with the same rules for everyone. The potential number of participants in this market is about 8 billion people! ⁽³⁾ This is exactly the number of people living on earth. Can you imagine the economic effect of this? It's colossal!

2. A single labor market based on free labor immigration. Any earthling can have access to a single job market on the entire planet Earth. If a vacancy matches a person's qualifications, he can come to work regardless of the location of the workplace! Can you imagine how this will make it easier for many people to earn money? This is awesome!

Other options are possible. But all this later, in another world without politicians. In this world, politicians still have power. And these politicians arrested Pavel Durov!
