Technocracy is about using collected data to engineer and control all of society by a select few who believe they have the answers for mankind. This movement got traction in the 1930s but was rejected by American by the 1940s. Now, it's back and little has changed.
The Internet of Things (IoT) will come alive with the implementation of 5G wireless communications, and everything 'Smart" will be connected to it. The Technocrats who came up with all this have little concern for security, so hacking will be a cake-walk for evil doers.
A new and purely Technocrat invention to impose unelected regionalism will soon sweep the nation. Phoenix is the pilot and model, with over 30 cities and 4.7 million citizens. Three non-governmental organizations are simply rising up to dominate the entire region to set policies and implementation plans relating to Smart City technology. There is no public mandate or authority for these actions. You heard this first on Technocracy.News!
The Agenda 21-soaked U.S. Conference of Mayors has been thrown under the bus by hard-core Technocrats who took over the FCC in order to roll over cities with 5G installation. Mayors are livid but now they learn who is boss.
The sky is falling again as hysteria rules among climate warming scientists at the United Nations. Technocrats who are overcome by their own self-delusion end up in a perpetual spiral of illogic. Countless hours and resources have been wasted studying what has been declared a myth by thousands of level-headed scientists.
In fact, male sperm count has been falling year over year for some time, but this doesn't warrant a prediction of man's extinction; after all, it only takes a single sperm to fertilize an egg. In Huxley's Brave New World, this was solved by growing babies in incubators instead of a mother's womb. Technocrats will probably study that next.
Blockchain technology that enables cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin will also enable Smart Cities, and Seoul, South Korea will be a test lab. Blockchain technology can be used for any conceivable type of transaction, from parking tickets to real estate transactions.
Powell's critique exposes the Technocrat groupthink that persists in Silicon Valley. Hundreds of tech execs have had attacks of conscience, many of whom fled to Esalen Institute in Big Sur to be reprogrammed with eastern religion and to get in touch with their 'inner net".
The Technocrat leaders of the 5G revolution go way beyond just cell-phone carriers and include any all proponents of Smart Cities, Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, ubiquitous surveillance and law enforcement. In the rush to 'light up IoT", safety testing has been scrapped and/or ignored.
Arizona State University brags about being the leading Sustainable Development center in America, and is now taking a key role to promote regionalism and Smart City initiatives in Arizona. It will be a massive Public-Private Partnership. A key partner, Arizona Institute for Digital Progress, claims that this is America's first Smart Region.
