Technocrat

Here it is "The picture developing from science is that humans are essentially machines made of meat. They are "executors" not "pursuers"."

WHoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Sorry dudee!! Didn't mean to offend you with that characterisation, I think i just picked that up from what you said to some other user on your homeboard, something like "well recent research confirms humans are like machines in X ways" I can't remember.

I'm majoring in psychology. Going into behavioral psychology.

Just wondering comrade, but what's our occupation? I'm guessing somewhere in the field of science?

Hey, just out of interest, what do you define yourself as politically?

you kinda freak me out, i don't see why you act like humans are machines, that sounds terrible.

Hello, I am interested in technocracy, but skeptical. My main concern is that those at the top of the meritocratic ladder would begin to feel as if they were entitled to more and would become dissatisfied and corrupt. Technocracy seems incredibly social-darwinistic and anti-democratic. What sorts of popular checks would be in place to prevent a bureaucratic class with more accumulated power and resources than the rest from forming? I think some form of participatory political structure with Nested Councils, such as that proposed by Stephen Shalom, would need to put in place. Otherwise, technocracy and the entire idea of meritocracy and social engineering just seems like bourgeois "socialism from above". Or am I completely missing something?

Yeah I should really stop drunk-posting. I was quite harsh and insulting I think.

I'm sorry. I was pretty wasted yesterday and I don't remember posting on your wall..

Hey (I am druink, but shhhh) sometimes you act as though umans are robots. I disagree with that, but technocracy in general appeals to me. You do make some good posts, but sometimes I can't take you seriously, because of your lackn of understanding of humans.
