Claimed Misconceptions

The group claims that many of its ideals are misconstrued by people who have the preconception that technocracy is rule by a technical elite. This is not so. Technocrats state that the name technocracy is not a dictatorship of scientists but rather rule by skill — τέχνη (techne) in Greek means skill or craft; κράτος (cratos) means rule or authority. Scientists would hold positions in society but would only dictate laws if it were one of their aptitudes. Technocracy is simply a tool for social and economic interactions and does not grant political power to those involved. In the end, a person's daily freedoms would be uninhibited.
