THE RISE OF TECHNOCRATIC GEOPOLITICS
THE RISE OF TECHNOCRATIC GEOPOLITICS

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary world, generally speaking, the modern world including so-called post-modernity, is seen as an unprecedented age in the history of mankind. According to the official narrative, it is an era of Enlightenment, emancipation, and the flourishing of man that should do without religion and old ways of thinking and feeling. These are seen as remnant of the past that should disappear. They are both obsolete and an obstacle towards a better future. Pragmatism, science, and technology should reign and through them, a new world order should be brought about. A unified humanity. A globalized world without nation-states and the conflicts they engender, without private property. This should be the result of progress and technology. Technocracy will solve all problems. And man will be made anew. This view is an autocratic one, hostile to democracy and government by elected representatives. It is a rule by unelected and unaccountable people. A programmatic blueprint thereof can be found in Z. Brzezinski’s Between Two Ages. America’s Role in the Technotronic Era. The book revives some ideas that were presented in the thirties of the twentieth century. According to those views, technocracy meant a movement and the creation of a new system of government based on the measurement of energy, including the control, and transformation of all areas of society and private life. This happens right now, being known that such proposals are being made regarding the so-called carbon footprint.
