The Architecture of Technocracy: Santa Fe Institute and the Complexity Cartel with Courtenay Turner

What if the biggest battle of our time isn't political?What if it's psychological?In this wide-ranging conversation with journalist, author, researcher, Courtenay Turner, we connect the dots between technocracy, psychology, AI governance, education, propaganda, and the institutions shaping modern culture. From Tavistock and the evolution of psychology to AI voting, social engineering, transhumanism, and the regulatory infrastructure emerging around digital governance, we explore how systems of influence shape the way we think long before they shape the way we vote.We also dive into eugenics, the philosophical roots of modern psychology, education as behavioral conditioning, the promise—and peril—of artificial intelligence, and why discernment has become one of the most important survival skills of the 21st century.Watch on Odysee.
