Elimination of Time: The Role of Technocracy in Obliterating Past, Present, and Future
The Clock Ticking on Humanity: The Technocratic Era of Time Erasure
In the swiftly changing world we live in, it's not just borders that are fading away. The future seems uncertain and distant, leaving us questioning the world our descendants will inherit. As we grapple with this pace of evolution, we must consider the insidious impact of the technocratic forces at play – the erasure of our history, our present, and our future – a phenomenon coined as 'chronocide'.
It's not a leap to say our world is profoundly different from the one our grandparents knew. And with the swift advancement of technology and migration, it's changing faster than ever before. But what confidence do we have that our children and grandchildren will recognize a shred of the world we know today?
As the borders between nations blur, it's not just borders that are being redrawn. When Francis Fukuyama famously declared the 'end of history' following the fall of communism, perhaps he was inadvertently heralding the globalists' most drastic impact on humanity: the erasure of time. As David Fleming, a proponent of the philosophy of continuism, warned, 'chronocide' is not just a mere concept, but a deliberate strategy.
Social creatures that we are, human beings build societies over generations. We establish and maintain traditions, customs, beliefs, roles, and relationships that define our unique cultures. Although humanists emphasize our shared humanity above our differences in race, religion, or location, cultures are complex tapestries that are deeply ingrained in our daily lives. Moving from one culture to another is not as simple as slipping into new shoes.
At the heart of any society is time, measured in the lifetimes of its members. We are human beings + time = culture. Our human-temporal complex encompasses factors like terrain, resources, climate, commerce, conflict, and technology that shape each society, its history, and its future. Each society writes and curates its unique story.
In dystopian fiction, both Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Huxley's Brave New World depict a world where the past is intentionally erased. Winston Smith's job is to rewrite history to conform to the shifting narrative of those in power, while in Huxley's vision, the process of childbirth is replaced by machines, eradicating the biological bond between mothers and their children.
The Frankfurt School, a group of Marxist philosophers, recognized in the 1920s that nothing truly changes unless the culture changes. Social connections and traditions serve as bulwarks against external ideologies that attempt to redefine our worldviews. Gradual, incremental policies are prone to reverting to old norms, but radical restructuring or sudden shocks to the system shatter stability and erode social bonds. The more abrupt and dramatic the change, the easier it is to impose new narratives and erase the old.
Chroniclers of the past have warned us of the consequences of this cultural upheaval. In Cambodia, Pol Pot's regime sought to eliminate the old and usher in a new era through the dreadful practice of Year Zero, exterminating all who clung to the remnants of their culture and heritage. Although the Holocaust is well-documented in history books, the trauma of extreme collectivization remains largely forgotten.
Chronocide, or the deliberate destruction of our culture's roots, is a grave injustice played out in subtle and, at times, more overt ways. Let's examine seven ways in which this is happening:
- Quantity over Quality: An Orwellian information war is being waged against the common man. The truth drawn from experience, common sense, or critical thinking is demonized as misinformation or hate speech. Knowledge passed down through generations is denigrated as superstition based on prejudice from an intolerant past. The young, who are most susceptible to this propaganda, are encouraged to reject the old ways of thinking.
- The Fear Tactics: State-led behavioral psychology operations ('psy-ops') sow confusion and panic among the populace, detaching them from their settled knowledge and understanding. Placing people in unfamiliar territory, as in the so-called Covid-19 "pandemic", leaves them vulnerable to the whims of those in power. An unprecedented contagion cannot be remembered by anyone alive, and in moments of crisis, authorities take control, altering our world forevermore.
- An Unhealthy Obsession with Safety: Safetyism smothers culture, replacing traditional festivities with managed events to minimize risks and harm. Although intended to protect the populace, these measures deprive people of the rich tapestry of cultural experiences that shape our societies.
- Drowning our Roots: Dehumanizing architecture dominates the landscape, obliterating the remnants of the past. Churches, banks, and pubs close as the old high street gives way to desolation. The ubiquity of high-rise buildings threatens the collective memory of the problems associated with such living arrangements. Smart Cities are being constructed, filled with forests of steel-and-glass apartment blocks that seek to alienate communities from their past.
- The Great Wealth Grab: The expropriation of people's property and assets funnels all wealth to the privileged few. The World Economic Forum's ominous message of "you will own nothing and be happy" may ring hollow, but someone must reap the benefits. Generational inheritance will cease, as the taxation of family-owned farms demonstrates, forcing landowners to sell their land.
- A Divided People: Mass migration has resulted in many native people feeling marginalized and disillusioned. Although multiculturalism is lauded as a means of promoting unity, social cohesion has eroded as immigrants have primarily retained ties to their original communities rather than cultivating a sense of shared belonging.
- The Virtual Matrix: The swift pace of technological advancement threatens to displace human interaction altogether. As we move from the physical world to digital simulations, our sense of identity, community, and culture may be stripped away, leaving us disconnected from our past and lost in a sea of pixels.
The UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948) defined genocide as the mass killing of a racial, ethnic, or religious group. But cultural genocide, as conceived by Raphael Lemkin, involves the systematic and organized destruction of a culture's cultural heritage.
A culture can be annihilated without a single shot being fired. The technocrats have long been executing a plan, one that eradicates our historical, cultural, and social foundations, leaving us bereft of our collective identity and weakened against their onslaught. Chronocide is a crime against humanity, a violation that threatens the very existence of our diverse communities and cultures.

The concept of technocracy achieving cultural genocide through the erasure of the past, present, and future involves several mechanisms that systematically alter cultural heritage and identity. Here's a breakdown of how this is happening:
Erasure of the Past
- Overwriting Cultural Narratives: Technocracy can erase cultural heritage by manipulating education systems, media, and societal structures to emphasize a homogenized, technocratic worldview[1].
- Digital Censorship: The shift to digital platforms enables technocrats to control access to historical information, potentially censoring or altering cultural narratives to conform with their vision[1].
The Tying of the Present
- Shift to Virtual Reality: Rapid technological development is reshaping cultural interactions and potentially eroding traditional community structures as people become increasingly absorbed in virtual reality[1].
- Technocratic Governance: Modern technocracy often prioritizes efficiency and technological advancement over cultural diversity, leading to the homogenization of cultures[2].
Threats to the Future
- Transhumanism: The future is being reshaped by concepts like transhumanism, which could fundamentally change human identity, further blurring cultural distinctions[1].
- Post-Cultural Society: The ultimate goal of technocrats may be a post-cultural, post-temporal society where traditional cultural markers are eliminated, leading to a form of "chronocide" or a crime against humanity[1].
These mechanisms collectively contribute to the systematic erasure of cultural heritage, threatening the very fabric of diverse societies and identities.
- The technocratic forces, with their insidious impact, threaten to erase not just our history but also the present and future, a phenomenon known as 'chronocide'.
- As we grapple with globalization and advances in technology, there's a question of whether future generations will recognize any hint of our current lifestyles and cultures.
- In the face of the erosion of cultural distinctions, politics and general news have a crucial role in highlighting the dangers of technology's encroachment and the potential erasure of our diverse communities' unique identities.
