Technocrats value machines and automation over people. China has enough people to staff any number of factories and warehouses, but Technocrat engineers would rather co-opt them by using robots instead. This guarantees runaway income inequality and ultimately, a return to feudalism.
This new dog management system is a modification of the nationwide social credit system already in place. Cameras everywhere will report you if you don't immediately pick up your dog's poo, at the risk of having your dog confiscated. Technocrats are obsessive/compulsive about micromanaging anything and everything.
The Trump Administration is creating one of the largest Intel budgets ever, and the Director of National Intelligence will not disclose how the money is being spent. Total Surveillance is a hallmark goal of Technocracy
With China completely given over to Technocrat thought, there is no moral or ethical barrier to human cloning, and they have bluntly stated that this is their intent. This will please the transhuman community around the world.
When the UN SDGs promise "lifelong learning experiences", it means you will have to reinvent yourself multiple times in your lifetime in order to stay working. Your alternative will be to fall into a new class cynically called the "unemployables".
The Department of Homeland Security seeks to establish a communication connection between emergency and civilian vehicles. Since when is DHS concerned about transportation safety issues? There are Technocrat minds working overtime on this to increase the national surveillance grid.
As a Technocracy, China is only doing what is natural to them: dominating the world of data collection, surveillance and control. The Western world has completely missed China's nefarious intentions as it has embedded Chinese technology as all levels of society.
Cashless society is a Technocrat initiative to force people into the digital world. Even if forced cash withdrawal is meeting with resistance, it doesn't mean that people will not be voluntarily abandoning cash over time.
For years, Riksbank led the charge for cashless society in Europe, which was part of the Utopian dream of total control. Now, it has done a complete u-turn, saying that cash must be re-instituted throughout the nation. This is the first evidence that some sectors in Europe are pushing back against Technocracy.
The TSA's driving goal is to create a 'paperless' airport by using biometric screening from start to finish. After enough people have been 'logged', travelers will be scanned, identified and greeted as they walk through the airport entrance. The TSA believes this will increase efficiency, decrease lines and smooth out the flow of people. No matter that they are essentially creating a national biometric ID database. This is the epitome of a Technocracy mind.
