What, exactly, is technocracy?

Jerm and Patrick Wood tackle the complex idea of technocracy, unpacking its historical origins from the Great Depression era and its impact on today's society. Patrick highlights how technocracy views people as mere resources and pushes for a resource-based economic system, often linked to sustainable development. He warns of the hidden integration of AI into government systems and the political push behind this agenda, which many fail to notice, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.Patrick stresses the urgent need for critical thinking to challenge technocratic ideologies and protect personal freedoms. He urges individuals to act at a local level, emphasising that community engagement is vital to resist the control of such systems and to stay aware of the direction society is heading.
