The Phoenix Conspiracy and the technocrats burning down the system

Have your pen and paper close at hand and get ready to take notes — today’s guest on Collapse Life is a firehose of information, dropping names, frameworks, and hidden histories that deserve deep follow-up beyond the hour you spend watching or listening.

Host Zahra Sethna welcomes researcher and podcaster Courtenay Turner to unpack the ideological and psychological machinery behind movements like Game B, TheoBros, Network States, and the Dark Enlightenment. Turner reveals how these seemingly disconnected movements — from Silicon Valley libertarianism to Christian nationalism to Gaia-infused globalism — all converge toward the same destination: a post-democratic, algorithmically controlled society run by code, not consent.

Key topics discussed:

• What the phoenix metaphor really means
• How spiritual language is being hijacked to sell technocracy
• Why “cognitive sovereignty” may be our last line of defense
• What’s already being built — and how far along we are

Movements like Game B, Network States, and TheoBros promise liberty, existential meaning, and rebirth — but as Turner lays out, what they’re really offering is something far more chilling: a post-democratic order where algorithms govern, smart contracts enforce, and your only freedom is to pick which digital cage you prefer.

This interview is packed with so much information, a link to the entire transcript is available below. This is one chat you don’t want to miss; your freedom depends on it.
