Technocrats, led by Schwab and Harari, conclude that humans are simply another programmable entity. If you just tweak a few genes and rebalance a little chemistry, they can be made compliant. In fact, POTUS Biden just included in an executive order funds to help figure out how to program people.

In the centuries that have passed since the enlightenment, our "elite" seem to have become more stupid. There are many things about our species, our brains, our souls that are still well beyond our comprehension and may always be. The philosophers, artists, scientists and leaders of the past understood this. The hubris of our current philanthropaths will not allow them to conclude that anything is beyond their reach, and beyond their control. History will ridicule them, but those of who live through it will do the suffering.

It is called Pathological Altruism, and Barbara Oakley has written good book about it.

We’re already governed by a robot. From our perspective it has a few glitches still to be worked out. But, they are not glitches, they are actually programmed Humanizing Elements (HE).
