I think most technology terminates as a commodity and assists non-commodities become commodities. The ruling class, when it's morally good, helps this process along. When it's morally bad/neutral, the ruling class attempts to prevent technology from commoditizing.
To disrupt a ruling class, we need to either accelerate this bootstrapping process with meta-technologies or provide alternatives ways to bootstrap technology and its commoditizing effect.
One of my professional obsessions is figuring out how to use bitcoin to decentralize incentivizes of other systems so we can commoditize things that are resistant to commoditization, where we might currently default to a ruling class or we're overly reliant on few good natured people.
we're overly reliant on few good natured people.
With all the "play-good guys" turning their non-profits into commercial spinoffs 1 I'm afraid there's no good incentive to be a good guy right now. Probably this will eventually give rebirth to the proper countercultures and -movements. If Bitcoiners want to stay relevant in the counterculture, we're going to probably have to invest more time into this.
