TECHNOCRACY
theoretical system of government and management based on
principles devised by scientists and professional technicians and also
administered by them. The technocratic movement started in the U.S. after World
War I and was based on the belief that the advent of science and technology had
made the traditional economic system obsolete. It offered instead a political
system based on scientific and physical laws and an economic system based on
units of "productive energy." The argument in favor of the technocratic system
reached its peak during the Great Depression (1932-33), but its popularity
declined considerably during the New Deal
EPTA Conference, December 3, Rome
Over-specialized regulators can slow down the
process of reforming the areas that fall within their sphere by reproducing
arrangements that have been rendered obsolete by technological innovation: this
can lead to serious setbacks. The proliferation of regulators, in other words,
can actually be a hidden cost hampering the adoption of integrated policies
aimed to exploit all the possible synergies made possible by technological
innovation
The Technocracy is a shadowy organisation, a group of sinister
agents who manipulate and control humanity, ultimately strangling the
creativity and individuality of the entire human species. They have been
tinkering with the development of mankind, constantly forcing their own
restricted scientific viewpoint on the collective consciousness of the world at
large. They will stop at nothing in an endless quest to turn the world into a
dark, horrible place with concrete boxes as homes, repetitive tedium as work,
and bland 1984esque television as entertainment come brainwashing

The Technocracy is a collection of people with above average
skills, intelligence and awareness, who police the dark places where humanity
fears to tread. We educate the public, we spread the knowledge that will
ultimately power our species to it's rightful place amongst the sentient
peoples of the galaxy. We develop the technology that helps us live longer,
makes our lives easier, cures disease and feeds the hungry. Ours are the
fighters that patrol the wastes of space, preventing hostile creatures from
harming our people, It is us who hunt down and destroy those creatures which
have preyed on humanity since time immemorial. We are the Technocracy, and we
are proud of our achievements
"There is no prescribed route to follow to arrive at a new idea.
You have to make the intuitive leap. But the difference is that once you've
made that intuitive leap you have to justify it by filling in the intermediate
steps
The Traditions, and indeed, many of our own staff erroneously
believe that the advancement of science is the key weapon and source of power
of the technocracy. In fact, as with so many things, this is not the case.
Scientific investigation is important, certainly, but the real proof of a
concept or theory is the engineering of that theory into a practical, viable,
and most of all useful device
