Technocracy Introduction

This excerpt is to an Overview of technocracy for those beginning the research of technocracy.

The Technocracy Study Course gives a unique physical analysis of our social system and contains the North American Technate Design in the last chapters.

The use of mechanical energy has altered the reference points concerning how a society can be governed. Functional governance is now possible. The Technate design precludes special interest group control. It is a non political system of government which uses energy accounting instead of money. It is secular and humanitarian.
Investigate and join with us to make the information concerning this subject available to interested parties.

"technocracytechnate" Is an IDEOLOGE site. DO NOT GO. It's owner will not productively engange in discussions nor it will provide a logical reason to support Technocracy. If all/most Technocrats are like this, then I am sorely dissapointed.

@AceObrin the only thing that keeps your "proficiency"

alive is your own version of HARDCORISM. you wana make

beautiful art in this world prepare for a war from birth with

everything simply cuz its not set up to KNOW how to SUSTAIN

the amazingness within the system..........you gotta kick ass

and take names (when did we not?) AND MAKE ART!!!!!!!!!!

@AceObrin Another example...Pre 2007, Individual risk levels were significantly reduced via well diversified Gaussian optimized portfolios, insurance derivatives etc whilst network densification spiked, agents structured on low risk, concave error optimization accrued etc... led to ever increasing systemic fragility.

This is the same general dynamic that occurs in ecosystems after prolonged periods of excess natural or induced stabilization make the structure fragile to x type colored noise

@AceObrin "By maximizing the standard of living equitably and using physical referents, time-uncertainty would be kept at a minimum."

Im sorry but I dont understand how that's possible in a dynamic macro-economy. The scientific elite in your hypothesis world would have to transcend the reality of endogenously induced uncertainty cycles.

Socialized gains and socialized losses.Beautiful lol. What is the mechanism by which inefficiency is reduced ====> lets say a huge number of people want to make art even though 95% of the people who partake fully in that venture ...are horrific artists. What is their downside risk of being completely horrible at their chosen profession........ absolutely nothing.

[AceObrin]

@axe863 Depends on what you mean by theory of value. In energetic terms, an individual cannot perform the amount of work sufficient to compensate society for the extraneous energy required to produce all the goods s/he consumes, and the total extraneous energy degraded per capita is over 200 times the work equivalent of a human being operating for 24 hours. By maximizing the standard of living equitably and using physical referents, time-uncertainty would be kept at a minimum.

[AceObrin]

@axe863 Despite what you may have convinced yourself, you're incapable of reading thoughts. Not once did I say or allude to the idea that individuals perform equally, ever, under any conditions. If everyone had equal consumption rights, the people with natural proficiency would be allowed to have their talents flourish, rather than struggle just to stay alive. The social mechanism (in a Technate) would exist to support the highest standard of living possible with current tech and resources.

@AceObrin "Over 200b stars in the MW, and ~50m earthlike planets in habitable zones. You'd choose janitorial work?" o_O Ok....... anyway. You think that individuals perform equally independent of incentive. I would love to see your evidence against the well established fact that individuals alter their behavior to different incentives.

[axe863]

@AceObrin "Physical referent" ... aka an objective theory of value. :) Untested assertions. "Technocracy science" .... reach a conclusion before any experimentation. Given the the superiority of marginalist position, objective value theory effectively died with Karl Marx. Fyi, money utility exists due to time varying uncertainty. Fyi, there have been countless research papers that demonstrate that money exhibits approximately long run neutrality. So why the money drama?

[AceObrin]

@axe863 In 1934, a week of 16 hours for everyone between 25-45 was estimated as sufficient to maintain the social mechanism. Mechanization has since compounded several times. The social mechanism has the capacity to furnish everyone with the market equivalent of at least $80,000/yr of purchasing power, and do it sustainably by eliminating useless redundancy and obsolescence. Take a look up. Over 200b stars in the MW, and ~50m earthlike planets in habitable zones. You'd choose janitorial work?
