/urbanate/ - Technocracy

>What is a materialistic-spiritual component?

History has shown that humans have both a natural desire to seek spiritual fulfillment and a love of ceremony.

Historical nations such as Imperial Rome, Sparta, the Byzantine Empire, Imperial Germany, Imperial Japan and the assorted Legalist Chinese dynasties have all demonstrated that a religion/spiritual system that is integrated into the state allows for a greater level of social cohesion then what would be available otherwise.

Materialist-Spiritualism seeks to capture all of these elements common to religions/spiritual systems, while removing the negative fluff.

As the name implies, Materialist-Spiritualism rejects the supernatural and embraces science and humanity.

Simply put, Materialist-Spiritualism is a system of ritual practices (state run), personal exercises (yoga, martial arts), ceremonies (state run) and world view that is designed to promote societal cohesion within the Technate.

The nearest historical example that I could give for a system that is similar to Material-Spiritualism is the Cult of Reason.

>How the heck do you have civic nationalism and globalism?

Easy, just get rid of all other governments - bar the Technate.

MTM Technocracy seeks to unify all of our species under one Technate - it is globalist in the sense that it seeks to encompass all of the world.

Not a picture, but it is still a real treat.

one more stupid question, sorry!

>is the driving ideology behind technocracy similar to positivism, in the sense that it not only is almost purely about management, but also doesn't attempt to solve problems with theory?

The USSR, as well as Communist Chile had proto-technocratic movements.

>USSR

I hope that you are not referring to the government of the USSR itself.

The best that the USSR ever managed to achieve is Veblenism.

Now the early USSR did have some proto-technocratic thinkers, in the form of the Tekologists, but I don't believe that the followers of Alexander Bogdanov could ever be called a movement.

>Communist Chile

I would assume that you are talking about Project Cybersyn.

Project Cybersyn, was quite similar in practice to the inventory control system that a Technate would use. However, Project Cybersyn was organized along Cybernetic lines, not Technocratic ones.

The only countries that I have been able to find evidence of an actual Technocratic movement (outside of the Americas) is France (both Redressement Français and Groupe X-Crise) and Germany (Technokratie).

But this new one is better! It has two advantages.

Vacation period aside, in the old proposal the chance that any two people share at last one free day is 5/7. In the new proposal it is 100 %. It's one thing to be in some sort of long-term relationship so that one submits applications for off days and vacation with that in mind. Sometimes, you want to be able to make more spontaneous decisions. And with this, you know that any two people can have a free day together within a ten-day period.

The number of groups in the new proposal is lower, and since it is easier to find five people who can do a particular task than to find seven for it, that's another advantage.

>and since it is easier to find five people who can do a particular task than to find seven for it, that's another advantage.

That'd only be relevant for tasks performed by 7 people or less. If you have 100 workers doing a task, both proposals will have around 60% of the workers assigned on any given day.

I prefer your proposal though, not only it has exactly 60% of the worforce assigned (as opposed to 57.14…% which would be more of a hassle to calculate), the shared free day with any other group would surely be a huge improvement on worker morale and satisfaction when compared to the other proposal.

pretty good video. i don't know interrupt_00h though.
