Derrick Broze on Technocracy's Plan for a North American Technate

The Technocracy Movement and its Vision

• 💡 The discussion centers on the historical technocracy movement originating in the 1930s and 40s, which proposed that engineers and experts should manage society.
• 🎯 This movement envisioned a North American Technate, encompassing Canada, the US, Mexico, parts of Central America, and even parts of Venezuela and Colombia, as detailed on a 1940 map.
• 🔑 The core idea was that unelected technical elites, or technocrats, would micromanage society using technology, a concept echoed by modern figures.

Modern Technocrats and Policy Influence

• 🚀 Figures like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and the leadership of Palantir are identified as modern technocrats who wield significant influence.
• ⚡ The article connects this vision to the Trump administration, suggesting that actions related to Venezuela and Greenland align with this long-standing agenda.
• 🧠 Early technocrats focused on maximizing energy efficiency and even proposed concepts like energy credits, precursors to modern ideas like carbon credits.

Neo-Reactionaries and the Dark Enlightenment

• 🎭 The discussion links technocracy to neo-reactionary thinkers like Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug), whose ideas have influenced figures such as JD Vance.
• 📌 Yarvin's philosophy, originating from the Dark Enlightenment, is presented as a modern iteration of technocratic goals, potentially influencing political movements.
• ⚠️ This ideology suggests a move towards centralized, technology-driven control, potentially at the expense of individual liberty and privacy.

The Technatronic Era and Centralized Control

• 🌍 The ideas of the original technocracy movement were revived in the 1970s by figures like Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller through the Trilateral Commission.
• 🔒 Brzezinski's concept of the "Technatronic Era" similarly pointed towards a future requiring a loss of privacy and freedom of expression to enforce a promised utopia.
• 📊 The original technocrats were obsessed with energy and efficiency, proposing systems that could be seen as precursors to modern concepts like universal basic income and energy credits.

Loyalty, Principles, and the Future of Politics

• 🗣️ The conversation critiques the tendency for political followers to exhibit loyalty to individuals over principles, enabling the expansion of centralized control.
• 📉 It is argued that political parties and personalities are failing, and that the public's adherence to leaders, even when they act against stated principles, is a significant issue.
• 💡 The conclusion suggests that the current political system may not be salvageable, and that focus should shift away from failed politics towards other solutions, emphasizing the importance of sticking to principles.
