Prestigious institutions of higher education are full of Technocrats who have hijacked the system to promote their pseudo-science climate belief system. These Technocrats are a tiny minority but they have risen to positions of influence.
The radical left is swarming Facebook to help protect its liberal bias and censorship of conservative thought. Facebook has achieved what left-wing politicians could not accomplish in over 40 years of attempts to stamp out conservative thought in the media.
AI programs inherit the biases of their creators. Thus, the censorship programs that Facebook has created already contain the seeds of technocrat thought and ethics. Are those same people capable of examining their own creations?
Artificial Intelligence is being harnessed to create personalized propaganda, aka fake news, to drive you to decisions that you might not have otherwise made. It will be nearly impossible to tell the difference between real, modified real and outright fake stories.
Bahrain has already succumbed to Technocracy-style dictatorship where intolerance for any anti-establishment is evident. This is the same pattern seen in China, Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, among others. Using social media data, it is now easy to identify and isolate 'offenders.'
Xi Jinping has undisputed total control over China's Technocracy, and he is finishing the transformation by assuming direct and dictatorial power over the state's media. Detractors will have their 'social credit score' reduced immediately by 200 points.
The Chinese are very clever to weaponize capital in order to achieve devious ends. In this case, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) funds selected academic institutions or projects in order to coerce them into self-censorship according to Chinese policies. Congress should block such funding.
When your personal data turns bad, whether real or imagined, China will basically ex-communicate you from the good life, and they have already done this to tens of millions of detractors. This is as effective as Tiananmen Square slaughter, but was implemented slowly so people never had a clue what was happening to them. Now, they are trapped, shunned, penalized and in some cases, destitute.
As a Technocracy pursuing a totally engineered world, China has massively censored its internal Internet. Now it is looking beyond its borders to censor the rest of the world. This is draconian and dangerous, but few in the West have correctly pegged China's intentions or strategies.
As a Technocracy, Chinese Technocrats want no competition for societal influence, especially churches and Christianity, which they believe is fantasy and myth. China's draconian surveillance system will make for easy management of this new policy.
