People obsessed with entrepreneurial great men, obsessive fears over “our glorious technological advancements” vs “their dangerous inhuman experiments”, fetishising technological superiority in stuff like warfare etc.

In the show it was basically a tagline for the most sort of like ‘gottem’ but more dorky

as others are saying, it has come to mean a mix of stemlord thinking and treat worship, so like folks that bootlick because “he’s saving humanity from a dying planet” type thinking

It’s like the futurist movement in post-WW1 Italy that later got absorbed by fascism, but instead of airplanes they worship Elon Musk.

I’m actually wondering, Did the futurist movement have any inherent tendencies that led it to fascism?

Yes, since its aesthetics and idealism over material reality and conditions, sort of like religious cults.

If what you’re telling me is right, this techbro wet dream of a manifesto feels as ridiculous as Ted Unabomber telling us about the inferiority complex of the Left…
