Technocracy Incorporated proposes a fundamental change in both the economy and in forms of governance in North America. Technocracy Technate design is science applied to society, as a blueprint of a new method of social operation. Today people connected to these ideas partake in discussion groups, publish quarterly magazines and a monthly newsletter called Trend Events, and advocate for the original concepts of a Thermoeconomics based scientific social design, presented in their publication Technocracy Study Course.
Most of the information put out by the original group... TechInc is good, except for some poorly written and disconnected material. That is called the T.T.C.D. or Study Guide and is best avoided, as it is not connected to the original material or ideas except superficially, although as of this writing it is still offered. Most of the archived material in the form of essays on that site are well done and interesting. The Official Web Site For Technocracy Inc.
Brief history.
The Technical Alliance, formed at Columbia University in 1918, and published their findings in 1934. They found that the U.S.A. and Canada and the rest of North America together constitute a 'high tech society' of continental dimension... one in which the operation of our society is dependent on a vast array of installed technology and a high rate of energy conversion to run it. It is a continent wide structure, a high energy 'machine', providing the means whereby we live. It is manned by an 'army' of engineers, scientists, technicians and operators of many kinds, without which it would not continue.
With Peak Oil, and the Global Warming crisis now developing, it can be easily argued that it is becoming ever more apparent that our present form of economy, a Price system, and our present form of governance, a political system, are structurally incapable of taking effective action. A new administration of science, a ‘Plan B’, is called for. Technocracy technate design, is the possible 'Plan B,' for enabling a continuance of the technology, with its operating staff, that will ensure our survival. Technocracy Incorporated proposes a non political governmental system using Energy Accounting in a Non-market economics method based on science principles.
Here then is the ‘raison d’etre’ for Technocracy, the ‘core concept’ that defines it. The core concept that is unique to Technocracy Inc, (established 1934) is this: In a 'high tech' society (such as North America), to ensure stability, and continuity, it will be necessary to institute measurement and control of the economy by energy units instead of monetary units (money), and management of the economy by energy budgets instead of money budgets, at all levels. quote... Howard Scott. The precedent document that outlines the Technocracy Technate design is the Technocracy Study Course.
Technocracy Technate ideas and concepts are not connected to other groups in Europe or elsewhere, despite the fact that many other groups have tried to partially adopt our ideas... and at the same time changed them to other purposes, that are unrelated to a scientific social design.
That was the purpose of Incorporating the design originally. To prevent others from either dumbing down or changing the ideas into Price System theories or constructs unrelated to science.
Technocrats are not revolutionaries... and do not have an assumption to power theory. We have just presented information that is hoped becomes known and adopted. Technocracy Technate information was a well known concept and idea in the 1930's in the United States and Canada. Then... the media pulled the plug on it. Today it is becoming well known again, thanks to changes in media.
The governmental ideas presented by Technocracy design are not moralistic or based on opinions of ethics or aesthetic judgment. It is not a knot of people, in an oligarchic or fascist system, forcing people to do things... but it is designed as an administration of science. Anthropological ideas are used... but not sociological ideas. This system is a non-political form of government that is not controlled by a special interest group, whether of one person or a million. Special interest groups are precluded from the design.
It is not a democratic program. Democracy as is known, can be related to as a form of slavery of opinion, which is then enforced as law in a so called democratic society. Contracts can not be made between people in a Technate... so democracy and other forms of social behavior control are not allowed, to protect citizens from others opinions.
The Technate system is secular and humanitarian by default. The Technate design is based on sustainable abundance within the resource base. Because it is designed around thermodynamics... it is current in the aspect that the metric that it uses, is real and not a monetary Price System metric. The Technate design is located in the last two chapters... the design chapters of the Technocracy Study Course Technocracy Study Course - excerpted design chapters and links to the complete copy.
Here is a link that goes to a series of 7 videos that give a simple explanation of the Technocracy Technate design. These videos were done by Arvid Pederson around 1980. YouTube - TBonePickensetc's Channel Technate videos.
