Ever increasingly apparent that technology will render government irrelevant as it renders it powerless. There's a reason the powerful have always guarded knowledge, but now the masses have mastered the alchemy. The unwashed sea is rising and it will set us free.

the claim that the masses have "mastered" anything besides being a more perfect breed of chattle is entirely dubious. As is the idolatrous notion that tech is some kind of benevolent savior...
The masses just means outside of occultic elite and technology is a savior. From fire to networks to 3d printed guns. It's always increased self-sufficiency.
the masses has an actual definition - you should use it properly or say what you actually mean then...
and as much as technology "increased self-sufficiency", it has equally(at best) increased dependency, thus most likely canceling out any gains....
