Technocracy

[Sunny]

I'm wondering what you guys think of this form of government compared to other forms that exist or are theorized today. I personally think that technocracy is an excellent idea, but instead of having meritable individuals in positions of responsibility, we have a functional document.

"Technocracy is a form of government in which experts in technology would be in control of all decision making. Scientists, engineers, and technologists who have knowledge, expertise, or skills, would compose the governing body, instead of politicians, businessmen, and economists.[1] In a technocracy, decision makers would be selected based upon how knowledgeable and skillful they are in their field."

So essentially an Oligarchy that centers around a specific group?

Well, religion debates would go apestuff in this system, but otherwise, not a bad idea.

Seeing as though scientists are generally a more intelligent then most politicians, and less greedy then business men, I say yes.

Religion is excluded from our government anyways, with the exceptions of candidate platforms to get votes. Religion would still be up to the religious institutions like the Vatican.

Well, once money is involved, then political agendas would be introduced.  Once that is introduced, corruption.

Billions of APC units holding millennial amounts of energy.
