people who aren't deeply yimbypilled have no conception of how much building codes are just written by random "technocrats" with no connection to either voters or actual expertise
It seems he's a UT Austin architecture professor who was "shocked" to learn that windowless bedrooms weren't illegal when a student mentioned to him a few years ago that they live in one. So he immediately set out to ban them, without investigating/considering any broader context for why they exist.

ngl its wild that grimes (who hangs out with silicon valley's entire rogues gallery of rich white technocrats) has accidentally mentioned "the depopulation event" multiple times offhand and no one has really pressed her on it lmao
We managed to avoid what they call "phase 2" in 2020, just to squander our near miss and fail in 2024.🤦🏿♂️
They put RFK jr in charge for a reason: to do exactly what he's doing. Promises kept.
Check the date. Yes, this was 4 months before the 1st recorded US Covid death.

I think a lot of people have trouble with the idea of a massive civil uprising in favor of the heroic dream of becoming a bunch of boring EU technocrats

It just feels like every single narrative they're pushing is rancid. They want us to be racists. They want us to be transphobes. They want us to be pro-AI. All whilst utterly failing to hold the politicians and technocrats who are blighting us to any kind of accountability whatsoever.

Climate change, global fa$cism on the rise, corrupt political regimes, technocrats taking over, to name a few. Of course people aren’t having babies.

gonna be honest, I think the only viable way to make a Mage The Ascension 5th edition set in the present moment is to pull the technocracy out of power.
Have a world where the technocrats have lost their control, having been usurped by technocrat-adjascent nephandic mages.

The new “regulatory standards” regime hard-wires one outdated doctrine over others, routes decisions through a small core, and is not neutral; it’s an entrenchment by technocrats and toolkits.

🇵🇸 The main Palestinian factions, including Hamas, said Friday they had agreed that an independent committee of technocrats would take over the running of post-war Gaza.

"And now here we are: thanks to a coalition of executives, administrators, politicos, lobbyists, consultants, and technocrats, the demolition of civil liberties is nearly complete and Palestine, as anticipated, was the frontline victim."

technocrats like Elvira Niabulina, Governor of the Bank of Russia and primary architect of Russia’s economic survival. She’s under constant attack with attempts to discredit her, though she’s seen as probably one of the few incorruptibles. Unlike Petrushev junior who estimates suggest has stolen

against this threat of insane distructive breakdown of consensus, force the traditions and the technocrats to reckon with the greater threat. The trads and technos might have very different goals and paradigms, but both at least believe in reason and progress; both want to build, not tear down.

Your country is owned by technocrats. Your politicians serve finance, not the people. Of course your reps are doing nothing to stop the regime of technocratic consolidation.

In some ways, The Cabin in the Woods (2011) marked a sense that the world was changing and neither the overworld nor the technocrats were capable of the bargain anymore.

Honestly I'm starting to think that a return to more insular spaces may really be necessary. Fuck sharing a social media space with the nazis and the negative IQ technocrats, I just want a dedicated space only for furries and absolutely nobody else.

He means (Asimov Foundation novels) while meanwhile the secret Second Foundation (technocrats
/billionaires?) and the robots (becoming sentient?) actually control and order the future for the good of mankind. Meanwhile the Galactic Encyclopedia task ((First) Foundation) puts on a believable front.

We have to stand up and force political action here because the profiteers and technocrats are not going to make decisions that are beneficial to the common good.

Now, on the day of, technocratic agents came crashing down the doors of my appartment and i had to cut the ritual short.
Grabbing everything of value in my abode i sloppily finished the ritual, teleporting to a place i didnt know, while within sight of the technocrats who had just broken the door.

And I don’t mean organizing around elections—but building a movement. This is what the right has done. Democrats are technocrats and think it’s all about policy design.

To note, Elon Musk exploits the intolerance between Remainers and Brexiteers to stir trouble famously stating that: "Civil war is inevitable." Regarding technocrats, yes, you'd not like it - the consensus is not so much one of helplessness but specialisation and tradition.
