# Tech Right The *Tech Right* is an emerging strand within the nationalist-conservative ecosystem in the United States that merges cultural conservatism with a disruptive, startup-inspired approach to governance. Its proponents advocate for a radical restructuring of the state, portraying public administration as inefficient and overregulated. Rather than calling simply for smaller government, they propose *faster* and *more agile* government, shaped by metrics, code, and executive decisiveness. --- ## Entries **[[2025-05-08]]**: I came across [Young Voices](https://www.joinyv.org/), a US-based non-profit organization that seems to be investing in the formation of a new generation of policy-oriented voices on the right. They seem to try to combine a classical liberal orientation with a techno-optimist tone. Their main activity is a _Contributor Program_ that provides young writers with media training, editorial support, and help placing op-eds, podcast interviews, and TV appearances. They've also created several fellowship programs that focus on policy issues such as social mobility, federalism, and European regulatory debates. One example is the _State Beat Fellowship_, which supports original reporting on state-level issues, especially in places where local journalism is in decline. Its funding comes from a mix of foundations ([[Charles Koch Foundation]]), corporations, and individual donors, totaling just over $2 million this year. The entire structure seems designed to combine ideological training with concrete career opportunities, as many alumni end up in media, think tanks, or congressional offices. **30/01/2025**: _“[A Future for the Family](https://afutureforthefamily.org/)”_ is a manifesto launched by four U.S. think tanks—the [[Institute for Family Studies]], [[Ethics & Public Policy Center]], [[Foundation for American Innovation (FAI)]], and the [[Heritage Foundation]]—to define a shared conservative response to technological change. The document outlines a ten-point agenda combining moral traditionalism with critiques of frontier tech. It defends natural conception and opposes technologies that replace women in reproduction; rejects euthanasia and life-extension in favor of care-based health approaches; and calls for regulation of pornography, especially in new formats like sex robots. Other points include limits on children’s access to social media, privacy protections, support for open-source tools and right-to-repair laws, and a preference for human-enhancing (not human-replacing) technologies. The agenda ends with an appeal for “spiritual elevation,” supporting space exploration, ecological restoration through technology, and resistance to synthetic substitutes like lab-grown meat. Foundational ideas were published in _[National Affairs](https://www.nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/technology-for-the-american-family)_ (Jan 2025).
