This article from the prestigious Foreign Policy magazine is quite blunt: Leadership's role is to 'educate' the ignorant masses (um, that's us) on why they should support globalization and the global elite. The headline, however, is even more provocative, and sounds more like war.
Technocracy is increasingly being associated with education. Technocracy, Inc. founder M. King Hubbert wrote (1934) that education was to be a "system of continental conditioning" along the lines of Pavlov's experiments. Nothing has changed since then, but now it is being recognized.
TN Note: The rise of Technocrats is apparent. Theresa May is less the ideologue and more the "fix it' leader that will make right any problem she decides to tackle. This is also the meme in the U.S. as represented by Donald Trump.
TN Note: The above headline was created in the original story on Splice. The writer makes the connection between Trump, Tyson and Technocracy, and makes some interesting remarks along the way. Otherwise, this story fits Technocracy.News because it is news about Technocracy.
TN Note: By definition, Technocracy seeks to force everyone into a holarchy where all serve the 'greater good' and no one is allowed to serve themselves. Populism blows that model to pieces, and is the biggest threat to Technocrats everywhere.
TN Note: It is not coincidental that Freedom and Liberty would decline in direct proportion to the rise of Technocracy at the helm of Scientific Dictatorship. Technocracy is more toxic to freedom than socialism, communism or fascism.
C.H. Smith nailed it: "There is no avenue left for advocacy, grievances or redress in a system dominated by global corporations." In the old feudal days, peasants with pitchforks and torches could assault the lord's castle on a hill. Today, there is no castle nor is there even a hill. Yet, we still have the same grievances, angst and desires for peace, safety and prosperity.
The world is crazed on virtual reality technology, where you put a view-finder device on your head and immerse yourself in a 3-D world of... whatever: computer games, role play, modeling systems, pornography. Because the experiences are so very realistic, they are certain to produce memories that will seem to be very real. Plus, if the programmer so desires, such memories might be created without any knowledge or understanding by the recipient.
Among the 'rebels', there is still no recognition of Technocracy, but people feel the effect of it as regulations strangle economic progress, personal freedoms and the society we live in. The question is, will the Technocrats be able to cloak their identity while staying one step ahead of the rebellion? If so. then scientific dictatorship is inevitable. If not, then there will be a chance to reject Technocracy and its practitioners.
It's not perfect, but it is a start. America - and all other nations - desperately need to hold national dialogues on Technocracy before it is too late to stop it. The EU-Progressive meme, which is an early form of Technocracy, is faltering but that doesn't mean the certain end of Technocracy. Far from it.
