True Pearls: Quotes on technocracy

The human mind, in taking us down the path of technocracy, has become the adversary of life itself and collaterally the adversary of the human soul. Konrad Lorenz, Zoologist

Is not omnicompetent global technocracy the ideal opportunity for enslavement?

C.S. Lewis, author

We must be alert to the danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower

The prime strategy of the technocracy is to level life down to a standard of socalled living that technical expertise can cope with and then, on that false and exclusive basis, to claim an intimidating omnicompetence over us by its monopoly of the experts. If the resistance of the counter culture fails, I think there will be nothing in store for us but what antiutopians like Huxley and Orwell have forecast. These dismal despotisms will be equipped with techniques of innermanipulation above all, the capacity of our emerging technocratic paradise to denature the imagination by appropriating to itself the whole meaning of reason, reality, progress, and knowledge.
