Hi all <br>
</p>
<p>I received a request to try to focus the meetings better. I
thought that we could try this by discussing the role of
technocracy in our current context. <br>
</p>
<p>Regards Art<br>

<p>Hi Bob<br>
</p>
<p>That Ideas piece confirms a lot of my understanding of the
history of Technocracy accept it doesn't deal with the role of
the technocrats in the third Reich. My interest in technocracy
was piqued by Laudato Si where the technocratic paradigm is
considered to be the cause of our worlds major environmental
problems. Francis says of the technocrats</p>
<blockquote>
<p>technology tends to absorb everything into its own cloud like
logic and those who are surrounded with technology know full
well that it moves forward in the final analysis neither for
profit nor for the well being of the human race and that in
the most radical sense of the term, power is its motive -- a
lordship over all.(laudato si 108)</p>

<p>I don't know if you read this paper of mine.(attached) I sent
it out a year ago, hoping there would be some discussion
generated. <br>
</p>
<p>I have noticed that in Europe Global socialists like Yanis
Varoufakis of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://diem25.org/en/">Diem25</a> use the term
technocracy to understand class struggle and the rising
dominance of techno feudalism. Technocracy did not go quietly
into the sunset as the Idea program suggests. <br>
</p>
<p>Be well <br>
