This guy is an idiot. He says all these wonderful things about how the world is advancing in energy and resource management, and then tries to paint it in a negative light by claiming that somehow we are losing our freedom, when clearly it won't matter how "free" you are when you can't heat your house or feed your children. I personally welcome technocracy, and have been waiting for the world to go to shit enough for technocracy to have a chance.

[ReddingPatriots]

I videod this speach, and like you, value advancement. But he is not saying we shouldn't advance; he is warning of the control or autocracy in the design, how assumtions of how to do things are controlled by the appointed government sanctioned scientist. With an autocracy in techical sience, there is not enough freedom to disagree. The best example that you might realize are the lightbulbs filled with mercury we are required to buy. Research should be less restricted.

[MrOpentoideas]

Technocratic democracy sounds like a great Idea but not in politics in business I'm all for it.

[ReddingPatriots]

Wood might be in Right field, but the main problem with Techncracy is not progress. We all need progress. But the progress has to allow freedom. So much of the progress today is just a way to can up the public and say "I got here first.. you lose" So he is right in being scared about a technical take over.

[ReddingPatriots]

The problem is not the way you stated. It is politicians that are dictating green energy ahead of it's time. Politics should stay out of the way in a free thinking society... This is why the Volt is a failure. The way Obama is running things, the oil industry is forced to buy oil from enemies. This is all so tyrannical what is happening to a once great nation.

[TruthStub]

Nope. read my comment above. he doesn't have a clue. he is what I call a "one chapter numpty".

[TruthStub]

In a technocracy there can be NO politics or a price system. Its redundant when there is no price system. These idiots get up on their pulpits and spew verbiage and they just don't get it. Its all they know living in a world of incentive-driven politics. They just don't get it that technological disemployment will and IS destroying the function of competing capitalism which subsists on the premise of vibrant consumer purchasing power. No matter, consign to the wastebin marked "idiots in history"

[Jimsee Tsogt]

Good lecturer.

[brutsi]

Corruption is a problem for every type of governance.

[joshkes]

That guy totally said, "if it's science based, be suspicious". I couldn't keep watching after that.

[ladulaser]

I just don't understand how someone can read through the Technocracy Study Course and not be for it. Also, at the end of the video, what is this "God is with us" stuff? If I had to choose between living in a society run by scientists or one run by clergy, I'd go with the scientists any day of the week.

[Joseph Epik]

That is why money won't exist. It is an outdated technology and we will have no need for it. This means no one can be bought. There will be abundance for everyone.

[Sean Jackson]

Nope, that's lies created by guys like Alex Jones to spread fear.

The planet can support 10s of billions of humans IF we properly distribute the resources.

And transhumanists don't plan to be confined just to Earth for long.

Everything you've been told about technocracy and transhumanism by people like Patrick Wood and Alex Jones is a lie or they're just not educated on the subject.

[burkeycindi]

Isn't it true that massive depopulation is part of the plan favored by TH's to "make the world better"?

I am not all that familiar with transhumanism but that is my impression.

[burkeycindi]

Aw, competition....that's the way of the past.
