Michael Kratsios: “Our Technologies Permit Us To Manipulate Time And Space”

Perhaps as the 13th director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Science Advisor to the President, his brain is stuck on the non-existent 13th floor. In other words, is he mad? The transcript of his speech is on the White House website.

The speech, The Golden Age of American Innovation, was delivered on April 14, 2025 at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas, which was sponsored by the infamous Council on Foreign Relations.

The Golden Age needs “a renewal that will require the reinvigoration of American science and industry”, according to Kratsios. Something went wrong with scientific progress, he says, “stagnation was a choice.” But now we can supercharge science to take us to Utopia.

Then the bombshell dropped, “Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity.”

This was not an off-the-cuff misspeak: the transcript was submitted BEFORE he spoke. This means that he said what he meant and he meant what he said.

Is Kratsios mad? Unplugged from reality? Or just a typical Technocrat who mixes his own Kool Aid? This is a serious breach of personal sanity AND of public policy that will be predicated on such nonsense.

Kratios’ government career has focused on advancing national strategies in artificial intelligence, quantum information science, 5G, and other emerging technologies. He is credited as the architect of the American AI Initiative and led the U.S. response to technological challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to multiple sources, Kratsios owes his career to Arch-Technocrat Peter Thiel:

Michael Kratsios has a well-documented and close professional relationship with Peter Thiel, the prominent Silicon Valley entrepreneur and venture capitalist:

Thiel Capital and Clarium Capital: After graduating from Princeton, Kratsios worked for Peter Thiel, first as Chief Financial Officer at Clarium Capital Management (a Thiel-founded investment firm) and then as Principal and Chief of Staff at Thiel Capital.
Chief of Staff to Thiel: Kratsios served as Thiel’s chief of staff for several years, managing Thiel’s business interests and helping coordinate his ventures.
Thiel Protégé: Multiple sources describe Kratsios as a protégé or top aide to Thiel, highlighting the mentorship and influence Thiel had on his career trajectory.
Transition to Government: Kratsios’s close relationship with Thiel is widely seen as instrumental in his entry into the Trump administration. Thiel was an early and influential supporter of Donald Trump, and Kratsios’s appointment to senior technology roles in the White House and Department of Defense is often linked to Thiel’s network and advocacy.
Do you see the problem here? These Technocrats are taking over our government and governance in one smooth sweep. Technocracy is re-framed as the Golden Age of abundance made possible by the unbridled deregulation of all technology (accelerationism).

No, Micheal. You cannot manipulate time and space. Not now, not then, not here, not there, not ever.
