Also see what Theodore Roszak said about the "Rule of 'Experts', aka Technocracy...
his tirade reads more like a Luddite treatise.
It's not a tirade, it's just 3 paragraphs. It's spot on, and 'luddite' is a smear term.
what he fails to understand is that technology is a tool:
What you 'fail' to understand is that complex industrial processes are not just a tool. You either fail to understand that in which case you should shut up and listen, or else you know it and are dishonestly pretending that you don't.
decentralized and in the hands of individuals, they are the empowered ones!
we are waiting for your decentralized foudries and all the rest of the decentralized supply chain.
when concentrated into highly centralized authoritarian structures, often tied to the state like good members of fascist corporatism, technology is every bit the horror described.
has 'technology' ever been a tool that advanced individual freedom? Nope.
build decentralized systems to empower individuals!
then, technology and technocrats your ally...
a technocrat is a kind of politician and politicians are the enemy
