What is Technocracy? - Questions For Corbett

I have no affiliation with James Corbett or The Corbett Report. This channel was simply created for reuploading his work to YouTube.

SHOW NOTES AND MP3:

It seems everyone is talking about technocracy these days, but what is technocracy. You may think you know the answer to this question, but you probably don't. James answers this question once and for all in today's edition of Questions For Corbett. Along the way, you'll discover that being able to answer this question is imperative if we want to be able to identify the technocratic enemy and, ultimately, derail their plans.

Listened this morning while getting ready for work and listening again while at work! ☺

Another word for this is Meritocracy. Governance by the most qualified and/or experienced. Its a naturally occurring form of government.

Technocracy: Brutal authoritarian communism with better technology.

It doesnt surprise me at all that we arrived at this point, when i look back and realise it is the current sum of our past..

Are we the "we" in their story, or are we "people?"

I'm a big fan of Corbett, and not a technocrat... but the overall message here I think corbett gets wrong. The original members of the technical alliance back in the 1920s were visionaries developing a new system. Corbett linked them to some broad concepts that completely unrelated people and groups are promoting, and the way they want to go about it and who they want in charge are completely different than the original technocrats. For instance, technocrats may want a basic income in energy credits, but most people who want basic income are not technocrats, and don't even understand such things. It is pretty ridiculous to assume they are both the same thing. Elon musk is not a technocrat, he is a businessman with some opinions vaguely in distant relation to the original technocrats.

This is why Trump is buying Greenland and talking about Canada being a 51st state and reclaiming the Panama Canal. Elons grandfather was the head of the Canadian branch. Mexico will bend the knee and El Salvador is the model for Central America in the new technate. Look at the map of the North American technate it is exactly the framework we’re about to watch unfold. This is why they need Bitcoin and this is why they need all the energy resources to manage the new ai computation and Bitcoin mining.

So technocracy sounds pretty ok if don't let it get dystopian.

Unlike current system that, regardless of implementation, basically don't do shot but concentrate resources in a few spots while completely ignoring any of the problems of resources distribution or any other problem for the matter, as long as resources keep steadily flowing where they are supposed to amass regardless of needs.

Let's stop at the part with experts presiding over their fields with run of the mill "elected" politicians relegated to a limited arbitration role.

The problem with engineering the management of the human condition is what happen when you wish to raise said condition. To fight…

And what will humans outside such engineering think?

Playing God never ends well guys. For anyone.

The OWO using the worst aspects of technology and morphing them in their own image

You literally just read their material and then laughed about it without providing an opposing viewpoint or any argument/reason as to why technocracy is a "bad idea." I wouldn't really consider this an essay. You're just like anyone else who reads something that irks them the wrong way for reasons they can't seem to articulate, and then complains about it on the Internet. The Corbett Report feels very Corbett-centric... what's the word, hm, ah yes, EGO-centric. Anyway, thanks for the book recommendations. I'll enjoy reading all about the original technocrats and their human ingenuity in 1937, coming up with a PRODUCTIVE conversation instead of shooting it all down for no good reason.

your(and their definition, not my preferred definition) definition of technocracy seems to be very similar to the concept of zero or near zero marginal cost. I hope that you arent making certain criticisms of a theoretical application and then being unaware of those same realities that are currently happening under current systems. It feels like you are in general afraid or skeptical of a rational approach to society. More and more things are being automated, whether anyone likes it or not it will happen more and more, I am not going to be a farmer and you certainly do not seem to look like an outdoorsy type, so more and more food becomes near zero cost, energy production is certainly trending that way if you pay any attention to the cost curves...neither will ever reach absolute zero of course(i dont think) but very close is all that is needed to bring much of the current economic system crashing down, so something has to be done in anticipation of that inevitability...I would like to hear your views on this...we cant just Make America Great Again and Boom! its the good 'ol days, so what do we do? Like I said, I'm not going to be a farmer, that ship didnt even get made, let alone start sailing...
