# The Tech Right Hub The front door to the vault's coverage of **Silicon Valley's political turn** — the founders, funds, ideologies, money, and culture of the cohort variously called the Tech Right, the [[Tech Oligarchy]], or the broligarchy. The pieces of this story already live in their natural homes across Companies, People, Ecosystems, Concepts, and Quotes; this MOC is the curated cross-folder view that holds them together so the cluster is not buried. It routes to entries rather than duplicating them. This is a thematic map, not a folder. If you are looking for the standing profile of a person or company, follow the link to its home page. ## The Phenomenon - [[Tech Right]] — the political-ideological turn itself - [[Tech Oligarchy]] — concentration of power in a handful of founders - [[American Dynamism]] — the a16z framing of tech-as-national-mission - [[Military-Industrial Complex 2.0]] — the new defense-tech establishment ## Ideology & Worldview - [[Effective Accelerationism]] — build faster, the e/acc creed - [[Dark Enlightenment]] — the neoreactionary substrate - [[Network State]] — exit, sovereignty, and the startup-country idea - [[Fortress Futurism]] — technology as the wall around a self-sufficient enclave, from apartheid Pretoria to Mars; source text at [[Muskism]] - [[Transhumanism]] · [[Longtermism]] — the futurist long horizon - [[Kardashev Gradient]] — the "climb the energy ladder" command - [[AI Arms Race]] — the geopolitical framing of the [[AGI]] race ## Money & Power - [[PayPal Mafia]] — the founding network - [[PayPal Mafia to Pentagon Pipeline]] — capital recycling into defense - [[Defense Tech as Asset Class]] — the investment thesis - [[Defense Tech Ecosystem]] — the company-and-capital map ## Culture & Influences How this cohort narrates itself — what they play, what they read, and what those choices reveal. - [[Games and the Tech Elite]] — chess, Polytopia, and the games as worldview - [[Science Fiction and the Tech Elite]] — the boyhood SF canon as operating system - [[Three Laws of Robotics]] — SF's most-cited contribution to [[AI Safety]] - [[Post-Democratic Tech-Right]] — the receipts: quotes on democracy, power, and exit ## Key Figures - [[Peter Thiel]] — the intellectual center; Tolkien-named empire - [[Elon Musk]] — Asimov and Banks rendered as mission - [[Palmer Luckey]] — gaming hardware to autonomous weapons - [[Marc Andreessen]] — the manifesto-writer - [[Sam Altman]] — the AGI race - [[Jeff Bezos]] — Star Trek optimism, Blue Origin - [[Mark Zuckerberg]] — platform power, the metaverse bet - [[Curtis Yarvin]] — the house philosopher ## Related hubs - [[Concepts Hub]] · [[Ecosystems Hub]] · [[People Hub]] — the folders these pages live in - [[01 Maps of Content Hub]] — the master index of all hubs --- *This MOC is a cross-folder reading view. To promote it into a hard top-level folder later, this page becomes the folder's index and the member pages migrate in — no rewrites of the links required.*
