“Why is Mark Zuckerberg building a $300 million mansion fortress with underground shelters and blast-proof doors?
The CEO of Meta, a company that promised to connect the world with Facebook and Instagram, is building what sounds a lot like a doomsday bunker on Kauai. It’s a Hawaiian island fortress, complete with escape hatches, surveillance systems, and the capacity to house over 100 people. And he’s buying land that contains burial grounds where local families have visited their ancestral graves for generations.
It sounds like dystopian fiction, but it’s chillingly real. The same man who built a platform to connect humanity is now surrounding himself with impenetrable walls and non-disclosure agreements, so strict that construction workers get fired for posting on social media about the project.
But let’s be clear, this isn’t about one billionaire’s bunker. This is about what Silicon Valley calls all of these survival compounds: apocalypse insurance.
It’s a window into the mind of doomsday prepper tech oligarchs. They spent decades telling us their technology will create utopia, all while seeming to prepare for civilizational collapse. They mined your data, broke your trust, and called it progress. Now they’re retreating to their mountain head doomsday estates to watch it all burn from above.”
Because it’s their plan…to cause a collapse of our democracy so they can rule as overlords of us with their technocracy.
[Ex-Google exec predicts 15 years of dystopia](https://m.economictimes.com/magazines/panache/ex-google-executive-mo-gawdat-predicts-a-dystopian-job-apocalypse-by-2027-ai-will-be-better-than-humans-at-everything-even-ceos/amp_articleshow/123123024.cms). Of course it makes sense that the people ushering it in would want to ride it out in relative safety and comfort.
People like this are never really safe, no matter how much money they spend on panic rooms. Paranoia is our revenge for their lack of humanity.
Who watches the watchers, Zuck? How do you know you can trust the people guarding your guards?
How else are they going to survive the shit they caused to happen?
It is because, as people have been warning for a while, the entire country is bound for collapse. The collapse will cause strife around the world. If anything the EU should be thanking Trump, as by ripping the bandage off now they won’t outright collapse as one of their largest trading partners becomes Somalia 2.0
Only the wealthy want anarcho-capitalism, because they think they will win. Warlords don’t care how much money you offer, only how much you have.
around 2012, I came to the conclusion that these guys think they’re modern day pharaohs
Yes. Read „Survival of the Richest“ by Doug Rushkoff
Well, to be honest, if I could afford to build a bunker and maintain it for an emergency, I would. And so would a lot of people reading this post I’ll bet. The difference is that we just can’t afford it, and our current lives.
*Anyone* that can come out on the other side of a doomsday situation will be in position to set the new rules. The people who are already doing that, just have the resources to make it to the other side, and the confidence that they can be the ones to set those rules.
Because the second robots and AI can do everything wage slaves can do, they will seal themselves in their bunkers and wait for all of us to die off so they can have the world for themselves.
No dictatorships (absolute monarchies, communist originated ones, far right ones, etc.) would have ever existed, if some people would not have been supportive of such regimes, or collaborators at different levels. A „techno-dictatorship“ will be no different, and from what I learned in my life, there will be lots of folks happy to become part of a pseudo-collapsed system (no true collapse, without a global, nuclear war is possible), willingly enslaved, if offered a minimum of bread and circus.
I can just hope this phenomenon will be limited geographically, and not reproduced around the world, especially knowing that some older democracies evolved from such systems, then lived through additional challenges, survived and will be more resilient.
The US (where Silicon Valley is, and where all of what’s happening today is being conceived – thus the specific note) history offers no such directly experienced cycle, so maybe it is time for them to go through one, and come out better and stronger at the other end, even if it may take a generation.
A billionaire covering all of their bases. This doesn’t mean future is doom and gloom. Just like investing money in Metaverse. They have money, so why not
They’re doing it because they want the collapse to happen. Ride out the worst of it then come in and solve the problem you caused, at least that’s my guess.
Death will come to collect Mark just like the rest of us. No fortress in the universe can stop that, nor will it serve to provide peace after death. Another King Solomon, except will he be brave enough to admit it was all for nothing in the end like he did?
Because you prep for scenario you can afford to. When you have that much money, you can prep for every possible scenario.
Just out of curiosity, with all the blast proof doors and bunkers, what’s stopping an attacker from just gassing the intake vents, dropping in plague samples, or sealing them off entirely?
Because all the other cool billionaires are doing it. It’s keeping up with the Joneses at the billion dollar price tag level. Go ahead and freak out about this if you want, but I’ve got real day to day shit to worry about.
