Modern Tech Titans and Ancient God-Kings

There’s a growing discussion around whether today’s tech billionaires are following a script reminiscent of the Roman Emperor Augustus, who famously used religion, myth, and mass spectacle to elevate himself to a godlike status. Parallels are being drawn between ancient rulers and Silicon Valley moguls who use media, controlled narratives, and even connections to occult or secret societies to shape public perception and consolidate their power. The conversation dives into how some of these elites may be positioning themselves not just as innovators, but as saviors or even quasi-divine figures, using everything from social engineering to high-tech ‘miracles’ to command loyalty and awe. The real question is: are they consciously reviving the same old playbook to control the masses, or is it just history repeating itself? To hear the wildest theories and the deep connections uncovered, check out the podcast episodes—this rabbit hole goes much deeper than you’d expect.
