The Philippines was one of the first areas to embrace Technocrat government, beginning with Ferdinand Marcos martial rule from 1972-1986. Current President Duterte has also stacked his administration with Technocrats as well, keeping the hegemony alive. Technocrats and dictatorships more amicably coexist because both hate politicians and the political process.
Ancestry.com has collected over 5 million samples of DNA and is growing exponentially. The resulting data trove is the holy grail to data-hungry Technocrats.

Gov. Jerry Brown has more in common with a Technocrat than a left-wing Democrat: he is totally 'green', promoting Sustainable Development, global warming, alternative energy, smart cities and unlimited immigration.
