The rise of digital technology and software has resulted in the formation of new abstract power hierarchies, where the technocratic elite exercise significant control over people's data and digital resources. Software developers and administrators have become modern-day god-kings, similar to the rulers and clerics of the past. The immense abstract power they hold over digital resources makes the population vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
Moreover, this emphasizes that people's increasing reliance on digital technology has led to an exponentially growing benefit for those seeking to exploit them. The current state of affairs is reminiscent of historical systems of control, where rulers would use complex language and storytelling to establish abstract power over their subjects. As a result, society now faces a significant security problem, as people have forgotten the lessons of history and are increasingly exposed to the whims of software developers and network administrators.
In this new era of digital-age resources, people must become aware of the potential for systemic exploitation and the need to find ways to impose physical costs on those who abuse their power. Bitcoin, as mentioned earlier, provides one such example of a technology that seeks to impose physical costs on potential attackers. By understanding the nature of abstract power hierarchies and the lessons of history, society can hope to protect itself from this new form of digital oppression.
