The problem with technocracy is the same as with meritocracy, namely that the name is just propaganda and it's just actually just nepotism and oligarchy. Like the technocracy in the US government is not rule by informed parties but rather some cold blooded ghoul holding up a chart made by their golf buddy's large adult son at some oligarch-funded think tank with a name like "the Freedom, Economy, and Environment Trust" that argues for expanding prison slavery into the coal industry to stimulate the economy and fight climate change or some equally absurd shit.

I see, glad I got to learn that the easy way.
But I still wish that there was more "genuine" evidence involved in decisionmaking instead of that large adult son and his charts.
