Technocracy and Transhumanism have always been joined at the hip. Technocracy uses its "science of social engineering" to merge technology and society. Transhumanism uses its field of NBIC to merge technology directly into humans. To put it another way
Technocracy is to society what Transhumanism is to the humans that live in it.Â
What is Technocracy? Technocracy is an ideological governing system in which decision-makers are selected on the basis of their expertise in Science or Technology. This system contrasts with the notion that elected representatives should be the primary decision-makers in government, though it does not necessarily imply
eliminating elected representatives. Leadership skills for decision-makers are selected on the basis of specialized knowledge and performance, rather than political affiliations or parliamentary skills.
What is Technology? Technology is the collection of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. A modern example is the rise of communication technology, which has lessened barriers to human interaction
and as a result has helped spawn new subcultures; the rise of cyberculture has at its basis the development of the Internet, computer, smartphone, and Artificial Intelligence.
