Technocracy will be a blend of pleasure and pain, like combining Brave New World's Soma with 1984's INSOC. You can chill out with your mood stabilizer or get denied and then punished for stepping out of line.
Technocracy always starts with a clean slate: forget the past, forget experience, forget generational wisdom. Thus, every problem deserves a new solution that only science can provide.

Facebook is only one of several companies racing to create human/machine interfaces that will merge flesh and silicon. Technocrats build because they can, not because it is wise to do so.
Surprise, surprise. The Dutch have just figured out that climate change mitigation is being laid on the back of the poor. This arrangement is not an oversight, but a mega-trend. All climate woes are being blamed on citizens instead of the sprawling global corporations owned by oligarchs. Moreover, Sustainable Development aims to alleviate the problem by even more development, with the oligarchs taking direct control over earth's resources.
China's Ant Financial is the same company that helped to pioneer 'social scoring' for the the government, a purely Technocrat-inspired program. Now, the UN will use the same firm to promote and enable Green Finance for Sustainable Development.
