Hidden code discovered by accident reveal smart city Technocrats' real purpose for the hundreds of kiosks, basically converting citizens into products as they are surveilled, tracked, hacked and packed into city streets. This is part of the Smart City strategy to implement Technocracy.
Many Technocrats who are inventing AI solutions insist that AI will create more jobs than it replaces. Other Technocrats offer Universal Basic Income as a solution to certain displacement. Common sense says AI is a certain train wreck just waiting to happen. Who will you believe?
Technocrats at the TSA have no regard for privacy or for their contribution to the creation of a police state. Their sales pitch stresses convenience and speed of check in. However, if TSA has not already created a convoluted system in the first place, such convenience would be moot. Nevertheless, the TSA says, "we believe it will change the face of international travel."
Elon Musk granted a 2 1/2 hour interview with comedian and podcast interviewer, Joe Rogan. The podcast was live streamed to YouTube and received almost 1.4 million views within 12 hours.
Technocrats in Silicon Valley have turned their technology toward solving health care problems, but the culture of 'fast fail' to find success will not work in healthcare because people will die in the process. Technocrats may view this merely breaking a few eggs for a big omelet.
This is further development of President Obama's multibillion-dollar brain-map initiative started in 2013. Just as human DNA was 'mapped', the BRAIN project was to probe the human brain in action and figure out exactly how it works. Driving forces behind this included Transhumanists who seek immortality through science.
Technocrats depend upon external data to fuel their various experiments. Without data, their is no reason for their existence. Further, data is seen as a universal right somehow granting them special powers of acquisition: it you have it, they think they have a right to it.
Technocracy is all about social engineering. Advocacy Advertising (AA) is a tool to generate sales by promoting a particular opinion, such as political, social, economic or scientific. Such ads seek to influence public opinion for the self-interest of the advertiser. Conceptually, AA is closely related to the Nudge theory of behavioral science which uses positive reinforcement and indirect suggestions to influence behavior. Both are tools of social engineering, and skillfully practiced by Technocrats in all professions.
In the battle for 'clean' energy, France has whipped Germany by a margin of 3 to 1 with its use of reliable nuclear power. However, most environmental zealots hate nuclear energy as much as fossil fuels, so their collective global lobby has blocked development of new nuclear power plants. If it is allowed to continue, this foolishness will set humanity back 100 years.
Ironically, it was the under-30 crowd that made Facebook, et al, great in the first place; now, they are the first to leave because they feel betrayed. Technocrat manipulation always results in pushback after the initial benefits of some crafty invention wear off.
