Technocracy

This needs to be said. Elon Musk is out of the government as of May 30, and good riddance. Certifiably, Elon Musk was never the head of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) in the first place, but he was widely promoted that way by Trump, the media, and the government at large. Indeed, the whole world thought Musk was the "big cheese." But he was not. In fact, he had no authority whatsoever with DOGE. Let me explain.

The theory of societal "turnings", and in particular the "fourth turning", attempts to explain why the old globalization is being destroyed and a new global order is rising. That new global order is Technocracy, and President Trump is the disruptor. Trump is wielding Thor's hammer to crush the old while embracing Technocracy as arch-Technocrats impose their blueprint for Scientific Dictatorship. 

Even the left-of-center The Conversation gets more about Technocracy than the collective MAGA movement does. Today's Technocrats are still chasing the dream "that a scientifically planned economy could ensure abundance, stability, and fairness." Fairness for Technocrats, that is, and the rest is a mirage. For the rest of us, it's neo-feudalism, aka scientific dictatorship.

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.

Are you a right-brain or left-brain thinker? Some people can't follow prose so maybe a poem is just the ticket. If this is you, here you are. This poem is courtesy of a fellow reader Technocracy News & Trends from New Mexico.
