The Real Trouble with Technocracy

Patrick Wood has been tracking those who would run the world by AI for some time.

He's been right and is still right to do so - our understandings of AI and indeed "quantum computing" are still in their infancy, and whilst it is certainly true that the technocrats never had either the data or the science or the computing power to run the world, it was always feasible that they would simply pretend to do so and place us on the wrong end of a "computer says no" social control system that in effect could be neither realistically nor practically challenged.

That feasibility still exists if we fall for it by unthinking and ill-advised compliance.

"The system they wanted — a society run as an engineering problem, every resource metered, every flow optimized, every decision computed rather than argued — required a machine that could calculate the whole of an economy in real time. That machine did not exist"

NB - we are talking about a world economy, not a national one.

Think about it. It's absurdly impracticable because the science doesn't exist to do it, even if (stupendously big "if"!) the compute power could be harnessed. How would you ever know if it was working properly? You wouldn't.

How long would it take to test such a leviathan? Easy - as with mRNA vaccines, you don't bother with such niceties.

The only way is to "fake it til you make it" - and don't worry about never actually making it.

That's the real risk.

Ask the wrong questions, get the wrong answers.

What part of this simple principle don't we get?

That they continue to ask the wrong questions simply proves that either they are stupid, or that they don't want the right answers. Either way, I'm done with them.

Take for example Baroness Hallett's Covid Inquiry. Vastly expensive Covid enquiry.

There are so many layers here to unpack that I hesitate to begin such a mammoth undertaking, but I'll make a start just to make it obvious.

Let's ask the first questions:

Why was all previous pandemic preparedness planning immediately thrown out of the window in 2019/2020? 

In hindsight, was that a good decision?

Did the good Baroness investigate these questions:

Who was pushing for the new draconian measures and what track record of competence did they have? (Tedros of the WHO - not even medically qualified)

Were there others who proposed less oppressive measures that could be used and what track record did they have? (Yes there were and their track record was exemplary)

How sensible was it to expect vaccine development/testing (normally a multi-year project) to be accomplished at "warp speed" with new untested technology. How could it possibly be "safe and effective" for immediate global distribution?

Fortunately we didn't have to wait for the good Baroness, as others quickly stepped up to investigate these matters (as we reported at the time).

If I (and many others) knew back in 2021, then why didn't she know in 2025/26?

A thoughtful piece by Paul Cudenec encapsulates the problem with our current world.

What is freedom?

Is the Left or the Right more supportive of freedom?

How should government be reformed?

I find his homily very welcome indeed, and wish that we could actually begin to ask the right questions, rather than struggling to make sense of sundry answers to all the wrong questions about which governing bodies of all kinds are so keen to saturate our discussions.

This tells us exactly what is wrong with our medical services - they are all based on premises that don't correspond with reality. They are then tied up by laws regulatory bodies and "standards of care" that are allegedly for our protection - they might indeed be for our protection were they to be based on the way that the body actually works, but in practice they serve to protect the pharmaceutical industry and their regulatory authorities - and to intimidate the public from going against the approved medical "advice".
