What Im really calling for is something like tech Zionism, he said, after comparing his movement to those started by the biblical Abraham, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism), Theodor Herzl (spiritual father of the state of Israel), and Lee Kuan Yew (former authoritarian ruler of Singapore). Balaji then revealed his shocking ideas for a tech-governed city where citizens loyal to tech companies would form a new political tribe clad in gray t-shirts. And if you see another Gray on the street you do the nod, he said, during a four-hour talk on the Moment of Zen podcast. Youre a fellow Gray.

The Grays shirts would feature Bitcoin or Elon or other kinds of logos Y Combinator is a good one for the city of San Francisco in particular. Grays would also receive special ID cards providing access to exclusive, Gray-controlled sectors of the city. In addition, the Grays would make an alliance with the police department, funding weekly policemans banquets to win them over.
Grays should embrace the police, okay? All-in on the police, said Srinivasan. What does that mean? Thats, as I said, banquets. That means every policemans son, daughter, wife, cousin, you know, sibling, whatever, should get a job at a tech company in security.

In exchange for extra food and jobs, cops would pledge loyalty to the Grays. Srinivasan recommends asking officers a series of questions to ascertain their political leanings. For example: Did you want to take the sign off of Elons building?
