Zyborg, I find it ironic that you would want technocracy. You favor a government that is like Autism Speaks.


Technocracy is not about making decisions over how people should live their life, but is adminsitration of natural resources and distribution. Educate yourself.


Who gets to decide who gets to distribute natural resources? I've educated myself quite well, thank you. :wink:


According to technocracy, it is resource base itself which is basis of distribution.

Resource base divided with number of inhabitants of technate.

No, no that is according to an interpretation of technocracy. Technocracy can operate in many ways, the basis is ensuring that people are in an office on the basis of their expertise, rather than being elected to it in the style of the western democratic system.

Yes, and that will benefit aspies. People will not be chosen because they are popular, but because they got skill.

We don't real people in power. We need machines.

Ideally yes. However the only real proper attempt was the Chinese civil service selecting civil servants by examination for a time. It ended up being a bit of a disaster rather predictably.

I strongly support direct democracy and think it is the best possible system.

Direct Democracy is bad because it is what the majority thinks and does not protect the rights of minorities (like those with AS)

No that is the worst system - the average moron should have the least power possible.
