Whoa whoa whoa. I don't think it's at all fair trying to throw Technocracy under the bus. The guilt by association doesn't look great! But Technocracy was interesting. It had some hopes & values, and it wanted people thinking and working materially, scientifically, having a perception of the world better than just money. It had some real neat idea. Wild & absurd? Yes that too. But I don't enjoy the casual drive by shoot down!
Weird, I didn't think I was throwing technocracy under the bus. What makes you say that?
For some people any association with people like Musk explicitly discredits whatever they're being associated with. It is part of what has become known as a 'derangement syndrome', in this case that'd be Musk Derangement Syndrome - if Musk is involved is has to be bad, full stop.
