The concept of the “Benevolent Dictator” is an important one.
It’s a very old concept. It’s an excuse that the arrogant power mongers use to rationalize their sociopathic megalomania. It is based on the basic premise that the masses are stupid and cannot make decisions for themselves.
Hanson’s premise here is simple. A “benevolent junta” (my term) of rich and powerful people think that because they are ambitious exploiters, somehow they are smarter than everyone else, and they want to take advantage of the current conforming social/cultural state of the world brought about by the digital communication is the perfect time to consolidate power overriding the sovereignty of nation states.
Most of us are aware of the arrogance of the ‘globalist’ types, but it needs to be repeated that what they want isn’t just a pipe dream. These people have the a lot of resources

They certainly have the Globalists’ doctrine and the will to implement same.
And a lot of contacts in high places.
