Technocracy Quotes : pic 000876250

Technocracy Quotes : pic 000470035
Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000896226
We have swallowed technology and are struggling to avoid the shackles that make it work: rules and laws.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001550505
We are looking at a society increasingly dependent on machines, yet decreasingly capable of making or even using them effectively.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001307606
I have long been alarmed by people's sheeplike acceptance of the term 'computer technology' - it sounds so objective and inexorable - when most computer technology is really a bunch of ideas turned into conventions and packages.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000675422
It's the idea that we as people can control our own destinies. The government and the corporations, more even than the government, can't dictate what artwork we're supposed to like or what comedy we're supposed to laugh at.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001525816
What a forced lifestyle our technology, our inventions imposed on our lives when we tried to live synonymously with computers; when we stepped inside their world, we left the natural one behind.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001237814
I'm such a technophobe.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001822771
You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios.

Technocracy Quotes : pic 000606879
The two great aims of industrialism - replacement of people by technology and concentration of wealth into the hands of a small plutocracy - seem close to fulfillment.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001521296

Technocracy Quotes : pic 000162006

Technocracy Quotes : pic 000513698
Industrial capitalism brought representative democracy, but with a weak public mandate and inert citizenry. The digital age offers a new democracy based on public deliberation and active citizenship.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001608973
My distaste for computers has an almost-political fervor: they're changing our society, I say, and for the worse. Let's act human. Converse. Use our handwriting. I
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000370801
Communism is a monopolistic system, economically and politically. The system suppresses individual initiative, and the 21st century is all about individualism and freedom. The development of technology supported these directions.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000459770
Democracy, then, in the centralizing, pattern-making, absolutist shape which we have given to it is, it is clear, the time of tyranny's incubation.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000046903
Technology is the penultimate chameleon, taking on the characteristics of its handler. In some hands technology is a tool of treachery, while in others it morphs into a peaceful protest. In still others, it represents the bleeding edge of freedom.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001085553
While corporations dominate society and write the laws, each advance in technology is an opening for them to further restrict its users.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000694845
The political technology of the Industrial age is no longer appropriate technology for the new civilization taking form around us. Our politics are obsolete.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001299261
Democracy: a festival of mediocrity.

Technocracy Quotes : pic 001479318
The twentieth century was the bankruptcy of the social utopia; the twenty-first will be that of the technological one.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001654523
The liberating force of technology the instrumentalization of things turns into ... the instrumentalization of man.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000082744
Technology is an interesting subject, people thinking: how much good, and how much bad, does it inherently carry?
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000287722
Democracy has become Empire's euphemism for neo-liberal capitalism.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000650301
The machine itself has begun to do the work of revolution. The State is now generating forces that will accomplish what no revolutionaries could accomplish by themselves.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001474851
The war for the Internet has begun. Hollywood is in control of politics. The government is killing innovation.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000827575
The history of the Internet is not, as some people have tried to make it, a libertarian just-so story. It is a messy tale in which the government played a significant role. That role was, however, far more subtle than the plans of industrial policy gurus or techno-boosting politicians.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000022318
It is time to stop debating whether the Internet is an effective tool for political expression and instead to address the much more urgent question of how digital technology can be structured, governed, and used to maximize the good and minimize the evil.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001788850
Corporations are the new dictators.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001732773
Technology is anything that doesn't work yet.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000940048
The totalitarian attempt at global conquest and total domination has been the destructive way out of all impasses. Its victory may coincide with the destruction of humanity; wherever it has ruled, it has begun to destroy the essence of man.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000266269
No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001368381
In the age of revolution you have to be able to imagine revolutionary alternatives to the status quo. If you can't, you'll be relegated to the swollen ranks of keyboard-pounding automatons.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000337445
The Internet is democracy's revenge on democracy.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001384845

Technocracy Quotes : pic 000770603
Global digital parasitism is the new Trotskyism.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000678027
Whether one welcomes or deplores it, nothing is more surely and exactly characteristic of modern times than the irresistible invasion of the human world by technology. Mechanism invading like a tide all the places of the earth and all forms of social activity.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000519760
A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000329258
The line of demarcation between democracy and monocracy is often thin, but rigid and stronger than unbreakable steel.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001153262
Technology is the means by which we have decommissioned natural selection and are seizing control. We are no longer to be victims of some blind evolutionary process where sentient beings are massacred by entropy.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001451295
The only legitimate purpose of government is to serve citizens, and ... the only legitimate purpose of technology is to improve our lives, not to manipulate or enslave us.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001265316
Industrialism, whether of the capitalist or socialist coloration, is the
basic tyrant of the modern age.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001498554
A world technology means either a world government or world suicide.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001238593
The greatest threat to mankind and civilization is the spread of the totalitarian philosophy. Its best ally is not the devotion of its followers but the confusion of its enemies. To fight it, we must understand it.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001098959
We're letting [technology] take us places that we don't want to go.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000995551
Technology is, in the broadest sense, mind or intelligence or purpose blending with nature.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000073300
It is not possible to make a LASTING compromise between technology and freedom, because technology is by far the more powerful social force and continually encroaches on freedom through REPEATED compromises.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001813901
On my laptop, I have written "This Machine Kills Neocapitalism"!
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000525681
I'm a total technophobe. What is wrong with paper and pen? I was delighted when I learnt the word 'Luddite,' as I thought it described me perfectly.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001188642
The reality of our century is technology: the invention, construction and maintenance of machines. To be a user of machines is to be of the spirit of this century. Machines have replaced the transcendental spiritualism of past eras.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000305737
It is the growing custom to narrow control, concentrate power, disregard and disenfranchise the public; and assuming that certain powers by divine right of money-raising or by sheer assumption, have the power to do as they think best without consulting the wisdom of mankind.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001408746
Throughout the history of our civilisation, two traditions, two opposed tendencies, have been in conflict: the Roman tradition and the popular tradition, the imperial tradition and the federalist tradition, the authoritarian tradition and the libertarian tradition.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001153601
We are now moving towards complete collectivism or socialism, a system under which everybody is enslaved to everybody.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001874369
Democracy: In which you say what you like and do what you're told.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001705972
Our intellect has created a new world that dominates nature, and has populated it with monstrous machines.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000136842
Technology - with all its promise and potential - has gotten so far beyond human control that its threatening the future of humankind.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001763491
I am of opinion, that, in the democratic ages which are opening upon us, individual independence and local liberties will ever be the produce of artificial contrivance; that centralization will be the natural form of government.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000840336
Technology is technology. Technology doesn't have a, it is not good or bad. Technologies are tools.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000827589
A rousing tale of techno-geek rebellion, as necessary and dangerous as file sharing, free speech, and bottled water on a plane.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001233399
Nothing in our politics is any longer driven or designed by individual humans who have a name and a face; we have sunk from theism into impersonal and depersonalizing deism, a scheme of rule by alien and implacable abstract metaphysical forces.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000247183
Tech innovation is something societies have to pursue as vigorously as they can. We have to innovate civically and socially at the same rate; otherwise, you create unfortunate disruptions, and that's where you have people opposing technological innovations.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001302348
Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001425975
Our nation is turning into an idiocracy.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001212068
We made a big mistake 300 years ago when we separated technology and humanism. It's time to put the two back together.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000765958
Our technologised society is becoming opaque. As technology becomes more ubiquitous and our relationship with digital devices ever more seamless, our technical infrastructure seems to be increasingly intangible.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000383942
The materialism of modern civilization is paradoxically founded on a hatred of materiality, a goal-oriented desire to obliterate all natural limits through technology, imposing an abstract grid over nature.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000698735
Anti-digital mindsets are those "status quo" types of thinking, authoritarian attitude, and bureaucratic decision-making.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001561208
The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001608096
Technique has taken over the whole of civilization. Death, procreation, birth all submit to technical efficiency and systemization.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001558330
Technology shapes society and society shapes technology.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000896300
Admiration of the proletariat, like that of dams, power stations, and aeroplanes, is part of the ideology of the machine age.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001254255
The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001018345
At the end of a century that has seen
the evils of communism, Nazism and other modern tyrannies,
the impulse to centralize power remains amazingly persistent.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001105934
Democracy is the best form of the worst type of government
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000081539
Totalitarianism is never content to rule by external means, namely, through the state and a machinery of violence; thanks to its peculiar ideology and the role assigned to it in this apparatus of coercion, totalitarianism has discovered a means of dominating and terrorizing human beings from within.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000941550
First we need to rethink the terms and recognize that we've imported this language from the technocratic class, from Silicon Valley, that talks about openness and transparency.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001272158
Technologists come at a problem from the point of view that the system is working a certain way, and if I engage in that system and actually change the rules of the system, I can make it work a different way.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000936209
All this Americanising and mechanising has been for the purpose of overthrowing the past. And now look at America, tangled in her own barbed wire, and mastered by her own machines.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000807924
It troubles me that we are so easily pressured by purveyors of technology into permitting so-called "progress" to alter our lives without attempting to control it-as if technology were an irrepressible force of nature to which we must meekly submit.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001199771
We are living, we have long been told, in the Information Age. Yet now we are faced with the sickening suspicion that technology has run ahead of us.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000543781
Commoditization is the enemy of meaning. In ages dominated by the forces of commoditization, individuals pay the price with devalued lives. by contrast, unique skills requiring mastery and expertise, like the skills of a brain surgeon, are safe from the threat of commoditization.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001053143
The suddenness of the leap from hardware to software cannot but produce a period of anarchy and collapse, especially in the developed countries.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000142996
The nation no longer stands for the enlightenment tradition, but rather for military-political hegemony and the total commodification of life.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000128942
Technology is rooted in the past. It dominates the present and tends into the future. It is a real historical movement - one of the great movements which shape and represent their epoch.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000331902
The global triumph of American technology has been predicated on the implicit separation between the business interests of Silicon Valley and the political interests of Washington.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000686175
That, in essence is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any controlling private power.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000847261
Fascism is when corporations become the government.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000331956
'Solutionism' for me is, above all, an unthinking pursuit of perfection - by means of technology - without coming to grips with the fact that imperfection is an essential feature of liberal democracy.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000225193
Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders ... The Goliath of totalitarianism will be brought down by the David of the microchip.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 001537974
Futilitarianism.
Technocracy Quotes : pic 000942294
We have to love technology enough to describe it accurately. And we have to love ourselves enough to confront technology's true effect on us.
