I have been to this site many times and find it to be an entertaining game site. The players here imagine that they are creating a society in Europe that incorporates elements from the Technate design from North America. They have gripped on to the proposal of 'energy accounting' and have that as the basis of this site. There are about 3 or 4 core members on this site, all of whom where 'educated' in Technocracy issues by a Canadian website, that is not an officially sanctioned site from Technocracy Incoprated, of which there are two branchs.
I find the idea of using these ideas for social engineering schemes to be repugnant, but to each their own. This site , or at least the administers of this site, see themselves in an assumption to power theory, with them controlling a 'pseudo-technate , or proto-technate, as they describe it, with money, in a Price System. The reason given that this method would prove or disprove some aspect of a theory they have about social engineering .
It is doubtful that they will find many volunteers for that arrangement I would guess. They in other words would control these 'Holons' as they describe them with money, while the people inside would be offered only the consumer goods, deemed appropriate by the administrators. This to me seems like high tech slavery.
Although this site claims to be Technocracy related, I do not see it as such. I therefore consider it an ordinary Price System group, that is promoting their version of the Price System using social engineering and a modified Price System.
I recently was on the site and one administrator is arguing for a type of punishment related to 'not working hard enough'. That punishment would be to cut their 'energy credits'
To say that this site and group is on the fringe of the Technocracy Movement is an understatement. :rolleyes:
