  • Technocracy is a government in the Call to Power games.
  • The term technocracy derives from the Greek words tekhne meaning skill and kratos meaning power, as in government, or rule. Thus the term technocracy denotes a system of government where those who have knowledge, expertise or skills compose the governing body. The term technocrat then denotes a person who either supports or promotes the concept of technocracy or who has membership of a technocratic government. A technocratic government may have a number of implementation with an administration composed of a body of scientist and engineers forming one possible type.
  • Technocracy is an EP by Corrosion of Conformity. It was released in 1987 on Death Records, and re-released in 1992 on Relativity Records with four additional songs, including three demo versions of songs from the EP with bassist Mike Dean singing.
  • Technocracy is an Elitist form of government where technical experts are in control of decision making in their respective fields. Engineers, Scientists, Health care professionals, and those who have knowledge, expertise or skills would compose the governing body. In a technocracy, decision makers would be selected based upon how knowledgeable and skillful they are in their field.
  • About five million years ago, God said "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you. I'm out of here." During this power vacuum, many beings of great power and clout stepped forward. Some of those beings were Hitler, Jesus, Oscar Wilde, and Chuck Norris. Many factions came and went. The rulers and gods themselves also changed over time. Jesus became Robot Jesus. Hitler became Ann Coulter. Like Jesus, many of the rulers assumed robot form to enhance their puny flesh bodies. Of course, they later transformed into giant robots because those are approximately eleventy billion times better. At first, the robots just smashed humans for fun. Eventually, they decided it would be better to be worshipped and obeyed by the very people they smashed. Hence, they created the first technocrac

  • Technocracy is an Elitist form of government where technical experts are in control of decision making in their respective fields. Engineers, Scientists, Health care professionals, and those who have knowledge, expertise or skills would compose the governing body. In a technocracy, decision makers would be selected based upon how knowledgeable and skillful they are in their field. Technical and leadership skills would be selected through bureaucratic processes on the basis of specialized knowledge and performance, rather than democratic election by those without such knowledge or skill deemed necessary. Some forms of technocracy are envisioned as a form of meritocracy, a system where the "most qualified" and those who decide the validity of qualifications are the same people. The way technocracy would be applied to a country would be to give control of the industries to the technical people to manage. Second the country would be ruled by a bureaucracy of scientists, lawyers, political scientists, economists, historians and other skilled people in those areas.
