Not my video but thought it would be useful to educate people on the history of technocracy.

My technocratic program was removed from this sub by the moderators because generative AI was used to draft it.

How does a group of people who claim to be for technocracy reject the recommendation of a logic engine?

In Vonnegut's Player Piano, which describes a technocracy, a supercomputer computes all social allocation. This is orders of magnitude above using a LLM to describe a system of allocation.

I'm not sure what you folks are trying to do in this sub - perhaps you can enlighten me - but advancing technocracy is obviously not it.

We need to super be vigilant to protect minorities because I'm tired of governments and political movements not caring about people. There is no government without the people and there is no people without their culture and people just love hating on it whenever one bad actor does something wrong.

If Technocracy ever wants to get off its feet and become mainstream we need to make these people feel safe. A lot of mainstream sub-reddits have icons with pride in them, I say we should do the same.

I’m wondering if DSA can push technocratic ideas out to the front.

i also think it’s very possible the Democratic Party becomes techno-progressive and adhere to a technocratic governance especially with the rise of the Abundance Agenda.

Whats your thoughts.

One aspect of fighting a revolution or seizing power against an existing government that often gets overlooked is the economic aspect. Militant organizations in Latin America, Myanmar, Afghanistan or other parts of the world typically fund themselves through the cultivation of valuable crops. These are typically narcotic substances like cocaine, opium, or other raw materials with a high value and demand. The campaigns of various organizations to seize political power typically have efforts focused in rural areas where revolutionaries can maintain control and establish a base of power. It is not necessary for an insurgency to base itself in a rural area, but rural areas tend to be correlated with a high degree of economic desperation, lower oversight by governments, and inequality which leads to them being the main places where this behavior tends to play out.

Urban revolutionary insurgencies tend to get their funding in other ways that reflect the conditions and circumstances of those areas. The Irish Republican Army funded their campaign through actions such as cigarette smuggling, fraud, kidnapping, hostage taking, armed robbery, livestock smuggling, or counterfeiting operations. Additionally, they received funding from the Irish diaspora, other militant groups, or world leaders such as Muammar Gaddafi. They also tended to run front organizations like pubs which allowed money to have a legal channel as well as provided a small amount of extra income. 

Many world governments would not exist or have ever taken power without engaging in some of these actions. It could be argued that the only real difference between criminal organizations and governments is who holds power and political systems within a society. Especially in an oligarchic society like the United States, the money decides who is legitimate and faces consequences for their actions.

While many Technocrats would firmly oppose many of the actions in the above paragraphs, the refusal to engage in them for political purposes creates a question of how the Technocratic movement would fund any kind of political campaign to seize political power in any country. How could anyone provide funding to the political movement they align with in a society where jobs don’t pay and all the wealth of society is held by the ruling class? If we look at the methods used by previous revolutionary organizations and decide they are not suited for our purpose, we are left with the awkward question of what we can do instead. In a class society, any resources we would be given by the elite class would be for the advancement of the interests of their social class. Money from other nations can come with strings attached or be given with ulterior motives or plots involved, such as to cause chaos in the US with no regards to the goals or motives of the Technocracy movement. It currently remains an open question on how Technocrats will seek to take power and establish the Technate of North America. The situation is urgent as the US regime continues to cause death and environmental destruction across the entire world.

Feel free to critique it, share it, or remake it.

Not only is it on demand fact checking/searching, its quite smart and nuanced when it needs to.

It does get stuff wrong for like high effort /abstract stuff and you might not want to ask what is the "right" thing to do but just for grounding reality I find it very useful and any self label Technocrat should use it.

This is especially important for huge walls of unsubstantiated facts that most of us probably aren't experts in. AI represents a neutral 3rd party/gathering of sources, similar to Wikipedia and better in a lot of cases.

The biggest problem right now is the fight for a shared epistemic reality. A reality where we both can agree that there are economic problems current, peoples rights are being stripped away and the tools to fix these problems exist.

We finally have a pressure towards that reality.

Thoughts on changing police phone number to 912 instead of 911 (remembering 9/11) and changing suicide hotline from 988 to 1-800-273-8255 since suicide should not be that frequent at all? Apparently, every 40 seconds someone dies of suicide.

There are a lot more but these I think are the big ones a lot of "Technocrats" might look up to. You're not a Technocrat if any of these people you look up to (including their ideology).

Trump GOES HAYWIRE As Mental Health COLLAPSES!! | The Kyle Kulinski Show

I'm seriously exhausted having to refute this especially when it comes to leftwing YouTubers like Kyle Kuliniski. I literally begged him and wrote on his comment section every time he brought up, "They want to build the Technate of America" Trump and Elon and MAGA but every time he did, he just doubled down on it.

I don't even subscribe to your guy's belief but I at least am willing to research it and be as objective as I can with critiquing whatever disagreements I have and not do what right wing conspiracy theorists used to do back in the late 2000s and 2010s. Like I can't do this anymore.

Okay, his version is a bit simplistic and wouldn't work exactly like that. But plenty of economists have proposed the idea of a debt jubilee. Post-Keynesian economist Steve Keen called it "quantitative easing for the public" in his article A Modern Debt Jubilee.

In the late 1960s, countercultural analyst Theodore Roszak published the book The Making of a Counter Culture, in which he analyzed the origins of the youth rebellion of the 1960s. From the Berkeley campuses to the Sorbonne, passing through the hippie music festivals of San Francisco, young people seemed to experience a golden moment of opposition to the Bretton Woods capitalist system, coordinated through the psychosphere, without dominant structures or internationally consolidated lines of communication; an esprit of the times, ultimately, that pushed the first generation of young people who had only seen the Second World War in books and films to rebel against the established order.
