Here's something worth thinking about: Elon Musk's grandfather, Joshua Norman Haldeman, was a key figure in Canada's Technocracy movement back in the 1930s-1940s. The core idea? A technocratic system where tech elites control all major government and societal decisions.

Interesting contrast, right? While some push for rule by a tech-elite few, the crypto community built something fundamentally different—decentralized networks where power isn't concentrated in the hands of billionaires. It's the philosophical opposite: code and consensus instead of centralized command. This tension between technocratic visions and the ethos of Web3 keeps shaping how we think about the future.
