Seems like a lot of discussions about a "New World Order" or technocratic governance.
According to the proponents of this specific framework, we are currently at Step 3: Submission.
Here is a breakdown of the steps as they are typically described in this theory, and where the "current progress" stands:

1. Influence
The initial phase where a system or ideology gains a foothold in society through media, education, and cultural shifts.

2. Dependence
The stage where society becomes so reliant on a specific system—usually technology and digital infrastructure—that it can no longer function without it. (Proponents of this theory argue we completed this step with the widespread adoption of smartphones, social media, and digital banking).

3. Submission (Current Step)
The transition from being "users" of a system to being "subject" to it. This step involves the implementation of mandates, digital IDs, or social credit-style systems where individuals must comply with specific rules to maintain access to the "Dependence" infrastructure (like the internet or financial systems).

4. Obedience
The stage where the population no longer questions the system but follows its directives automatically, fearing the consequences of being "disconnected" or excluded from society.

5. Integration
Often described as the "Transhumanist" phase. This involves the literal merging of human biology with technology (e.g., neural interfaces or bio-implants) to "streamline" the control process and ensure humans can function within an increasingly digital reality.

6. Singularity
The point where individual consciousness is linked into a collective network or "hive mind." In this theory, this isn't just a technological milestone but a total loss of individual autonomy.

7. Dominion
The final stage of absolute control. Proponents of this timeline frequently cite 2032 as the target date for the completion of this final step.
