No one own techno, progressive or democracy, so I don't see a
problem. :-) When people lack visionary ideas, they fight and squabble.

In a larger sense, no one owns a mind much less ideas and thoughts.
Behind every scientific theories and technologies there are galaxies of
interacting cells in the brain with no one in absolute control. Read
anatomy and physiology of the brain.
Our brains depend on neurotransmitors and hormones secreted by the
different organ system in our body. This self-organizing system/brain
matter is flexible from childhood and gets less flexible as we aged due
to genetic and environmental phenomena.
How does mind as consciousness arise from this complex electrical
interactions? Energy expands like our universe in cosmic scale.
A formulaic equation of quantum gravity= energy times itself to the
power of what?
Its mind boggling to me enough to drive a robot insane.
