>I haven't finished reading all the content yet but I'd like to know what is Modernized Technocratic Model (MTM) and in what it differs from the Technocratic model developed by Technocracy Inc.
The MTM is an attempt at updating and integrating the lessons learned from the effective demise of Technocracy Inc.
I don't really have the time to compose a comprehensive summery on all aspects of the MTM currently, but I will try to do a quick set of cliff notes on it for you.
The MTM uses the Technocracy Inc model as its base.
Onto this, the MTM attaches a number of concepts that complement Technocracy quite well (but were not integrated into the Technocracy Inc model because of the failure to update that model since the death of Howard Scott).
It should also be noted that the MTM formally incorporates ideas that Technocracy Inc/Howard Scott expressed interest in, just never formally integrated into their model (by name).
A short selection of differences between the MTM and the Technocracy Inc model follows:
1) Transhumanism
2) Globalism (rather then Continentalism)
3) Formal adoption of Total Utilitarianism
4) Reorganised administrative structure
5) Monoculturalism
6) Adoption of complementary philosophy (Plato, Nietzsche, Shang Yang etc)
7) Adoption of a complementary materialistic-spiritual component
8) Formal adoption of civic nationalism
9) Formal adoption of Totalism
10) Ultimate goal of total automation is expanded upon and updated.
The MTM advocates that all work should be done by machines and all of the Technate managed by a semi-omnipresent AI.
>Also, where did you find all of those pictures in the other thread?
No one location.
Material (including pictures) on Technocracy Inc is scattered into the four winds.
I remember that I found alot of the radio network pictures on some old radio hobbyists archive (I googled the station code in the background of a picture and found the archive by chance).
Most of my pictures of Howard Scott come from the picture archive on one of the Technocracy inc websites.
I also came across this blog:
http://technocracytechnatepicturearchive.blogspot.com/
It is a good place to get some of the more common pictures floating around.
Additionally, if you are interested in more then just pictures, the following archive has a wealth of internal Technocracy Inc material.
It has been a tremendous help in reverse engineering some of Technocracy Incs old internal bureaucracy:

>Ps.: Have you ever read the Sequences at LessWrong.com?
I have not.
I will add them to my reading list.
