The concept of Technocracy and centralized government control via experts and scientists dates back to the early 1900’s. Authors and social commenters such as Aldous Huxley, C.S. Lewis, Hanna Arendt, George Orwell, Bertrand Russel and many more all saw the development of some sort of central one-world technocracy as inevitable and even necessary for humans’ future. The world has gone through all the forms of organizing – Communism, Socialism, Democracy, Republics, Autocracies, etc. Many of these historians saw or predicted either totalitarian regimes or some sort of centralized system as being the only ‘world order’ that would work on a human population of nearly 10 billion people. Topics on eugenics, population control, and Malthusianism have been part of this since the early 1900’s. Malthus worried food supplies would increase linearly and be outpaced by an exponentially-increasing huma population, hence the Malthusianism ‘limits to growth’ barrier that the Club of Rome pushed in the early 1970s. Technology has outpaced this problem, with distribution of food being a major limitation. However, the technocratic system of governance continued, if not now for food shortages, more for climate disaster avoidance or any other emergency.
Patrick Wood has the most comprehensive set of resources for all topics on technocracy.
Technocracy was in full planning in the 1930s, but went quiet during WWII. It surfaced again in the 1970’s under Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger. It was literally described as the science of social engineering. In the West and America, this movement resulted in the Trilateral Commission, which would go on to seed almost all U.S. governments of the ‘70s and ‘80s as well as most World Bank leaders. By the 1990’s the Trilateral Commission paved the way for the World Economic Forum which we see today. The WEF in turn groomed current leaders via the ‘Young Global Leaders’ program. Agenda21 set out in Rio De Janiero in 1992 paved the wave for ‘sustainability goals’, which shifted public mindsets towards climate change and conservation and the concept that us messy humans were the ‘cancer’ making the Earth sick. This leads us to the 2000’s with global warming scares, climate emergencies, and finally the pandemic.
For whatever reason, the elites have decided the masses need to be controlled for our own good. Scenarios such as climate disasters, global warming, and other catastrophes are blamed on humans as the ‘cancer’ causing the Earth to be sick and damaged. Whether it’s for these reasons or some other hidden reasons, regardless, they have decided on technocracy to control us, limit our movement and consumption behavior, and mold our thoughts and feelings towards a more ‘communitarian’ way of life.
Humans have evolved to desire convenience over freedoms, and this includes relieving our responsibilities and our safety and health to the State. Much of this is done via programs on purpose – most governments do nothing to promote health and diet in the population. Quite the opposite, they promote and profit off poor health choices (tobacco, sugary diet, lack of exercise) in parallel with their own solutions – drugs and therapies that only treat symptoms rather than address the root cause of the health issue. In parallel, societies have gradually moved away from social cohesion derived from the family, neighbors, and religion in favor of mass media, technology conveniences (internet and mobile phones), and social media. This leaves a huge gap for the State, via cultural revolutions and tech-social media, to step in and replace those traditional ties with their own, creating dependencies, mainly via social media and technology. If you sampled groups of people and asked if they would give up tech devices, social media, 24-7 internet access, and other ‘conveniences’, in order to gain back their autonomy, odds are less than 5 to 10% would accept. This despite the fact that everyone up till the late 1990’s lived without any online life. This laziness and acceptance of ubiquitous technology as necessary leaves the populations totally open to technocratic takeover, which would be seamless and even welcomed as ‘convenience’ yet again.
Those imposing this ‘reset’ in their mind do this for our own good. Either they would have to physically wipe out 90% or turn 90% into transhumans before we hit 10 billion people in 2100. Agenda 21 and 2030 show these, having us living in planned zones, having restricted areas, and having many live only in an online Metaverse world. The majority have lived decades (1980s on) in hyper consumer capitalist world of instant convenience needs and will choose to stay in that, and go along with any new system, including bringing their kids along to do the same.
There can be no doubt that a major component of the ‘grab bag’ of changes ‘they’ wanted to push through during this pandemic is the accelerated erosion of mainly Western democracies. Almost all forms of Western governments and democracies (or Republics) have suspended the fundamental roles of government (as of 2020 due to the ‘pandemic’). These are supposed to be governments of and by the people – not the other way around. Under the continuous ‘State of Emergency’ due to the C19 pandemic, governments have suspended parliamentary oversight, opposition debate, scientific debate (including scrutinizing data or evidence), and many other aspects of normally-functioning democracies.
Hannah Arendt, Origins of Totalitarianism:
“Arendt discusses the transformation of classes into masses, the role of propaganda in dealing with the non-totalitarian world, and the use of terror, essential to this form of government. Totalitarian movements are fundamentally different from autocratic regimes, says Arendt, insofar as autocratic regimes seek only to gain absolute political power and to outlaw opposition, while totalitarian regimes seek to dominate every aspect of everyone’s life as a prelude to world domination. She states:
‘… Intellectual, spiritual, and artistic initiative is as dangerous to totalitarianism as the gangster initiative of the mob, and both are more dangerous than mere political opposition. The consistent persecution of every higher form of intellectual activity by the new mass leaders springs from more than their natural resentment against everything they cannot understand.
Total domination does not allow for free initiative in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable. Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.[19]’
Arendt discusses the use of front organizations, fake governmental agencies, and esoteric doctrines as a means of concealing the radical nature of totalitarian aims from the non-totalitarian world. Near the end of the book, Arendt writes that loneliness is a precondition for totalitarian domination, with people who are socially isolated more likely to be attracted to totalitarian ideology and movements.”
Bertrand Russell:
“I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing,” wrote Russell in The Impact of Science on Society. “War so far has had no great effect on this increase . . . perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full . . . the state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to suffering, especially that of other people’s.”
“It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries.”
Joost Merloo: Rape of the Mind:
“The world of tomorrow will witness a tremendous battle between technology and psychology. It will be a fight of technology versus nature, of systematic conditioning versus creative spontaneity.”
“No longer does man think in personal values, following his own conscience and ethical evaluations; he thinks more and more in the values brought to him by mass media…television keeps him in continual awe and passive fixation. Consciously he may protest against these anonymous voices, but nevertheless their suggestions ooze into his system.”
Bill Gates:
In 2011, Gates told CNN: “The benefits [of vaccines] are there in terms of reducing sickness, reducing population growth.” In a 2010 Ted Talk he said, “If we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower [population growth] by perhaps ten or fifteen percent.”
(Note that is limit the growth of population).
Aldous Huxley:
“By means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms — elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest — will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial […]. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit.” Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited, 1958
“If the first half of the twentieth century was the era of the technical engineers, the second half may well be the era of the social engineers — and the twenty-first century, I suppose, will be the era of World Controllers, the scientific caste system and Brave New World.”
Aldous Huxley, Interview – Berkeley University 1962:
“It seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which we are now faced is precisely this: That we are in the process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always existed and will always exist to get people to love their servitude.”
We seem to get brief periods of Orwell (authoritarianism) in order to ratchet up police state surveillance quickly, then revert back to the longer term, gradual path to Huxley, technocracy with no politicians, and people who don’t care about old style ‘freedoms’. The sharp ‘ratchet’ effect of brief authoritarianism also makes us feel relieved and free once we go back to the Huxley path, and we won’t notice the liberties lost. Harsher Orwell periods in the more free or independent minded Western states, until over time we all emulate China style rule, no need for old style democracy, or separation of government and judiciary. And people will be happy but feel something is missing. This technocracy is the only way to run a world peaking out at estimated 10 billion inhabitants. The West and EU population will taper off, Asia and Africa will peak and migrate, then taper off.
Many WEF and World Bank members/leaders have stated the ‘Great Reset’ plan openly for years. They feel a worldwide disaster would ensue at some point in the future if we do not limit peoples’ physical behavior for our own good – consumption of goods, traveling, selfishness etc.
Some argue that our populations essentially have voted on and agree with technocracy without knowing it. In that, even with a massive fear campaign, the events of the last 2 years (2020-2022) show that the majority gladly give up freedom for false security. In fact the majority are begging for it – we passed the test. The default mode for the majority of societies in history has been tyranny, not free democracies. The free liberal democracies are in the minority, and took decades of bloodshed to achieve. They must be maintained with vigilance else they slip away easily, as we are seeing now. They didn’t slip away with a short, targeted attack, but with decades or demoralizing decay and the preference of people to prioritize conveniences and decadence over liberty.
Peter Hitchens – who capitulated in early 2021 by saying ‘I always knew we would lose our democracy, I just thought I would be dead by then.’ And ‘Millions have greeted this new peril as an excuse to abandon a liberty they did not really care much about anyway.’

Currently, technocratic rule is being implemented under the guise of the WEF ‘Great Reset’ plan. It has the added points of socialism for all, hyper capitalism for the elites:
> The WEF’s 2030 agenda is part of what is now advertised as The Great Reset
> Also, part of The Great Reset is the transition from shareholder capitalism to “stakeholder capitalism,” which world leaders claim will provide “equity” for all
> In reality, stakeholder capitalism destroys freedom and shifts power over nations from elected governments to private corporations and other unelected “stakeholders” such as the WEF
> Since the first quarter of 2020, we’ve already gotten a taste of what The Great Reset will mean for public health. The basic premise is that of a biosecurity state, where unelected “stakeholders” decide what is best for everyone
Informal polling among friends, family, and colleagues regarding this topic seems to show a majority do not see any issues. This is currently about the public’s sentiment to accept vaccine passport systems to limit basic freedoms and rights of Western nations. Soon it will change in to a basic digital ID with similar restrictions – you will have to ‘opt in’ to the government mandates at any time to retrieve freedoms that are not and were not the governments to take away in the first place.
