A technocratic, usually white, liberal to conservative individual who has no understanding of productive forces or inequality.
Such individuals regularly dismiss obvious physical or social constraints (the cost of labor, the lack of an atmosphere on mars) in favor of grandiose visions fueled entirely by a child-like obsession with sci-fi movies.
Genuinely think that poverty is a result of "not-sufficiently-advanced technology". Probably believes in the "singularity". Usually worship Elon Musk as their lord and savior.
