You are exactly correct. By doing two things we can preclude overlords from imposing a technocracy, as they seem to intend. The first is adopting these technologies ourselves, rather than leaving them to institutional control, and the second is to adopt as many of them as we can, to enable us to meet not just this need or that one, but all of them, and render institutional power obsolete, and individual sovereignty supreme.

Freedom is necessary to prosperity, and decentralization is the critical step to freedom we can take today.
