Global authoritarian technocracy? That is by far a too kind description of the same old Oligarchy’s trying to regain power from from the age of reason. The very term “technocracy” is never likely to exist except as a theory.
It nearly exists right now. The ability to track and manage a citizen from birth to death in every activity is upon us.
The goal of the elites is to have their upper crust insulated from a consumption driven debt slave society with FAR fewer members of the debt slave society than they currently have scrabbling around on the globe.
The Democrats and this administration only act like know-it-all experts. Advocates of reason and the scientific method, are hardly popular even in scientific fields these days (see climate science as an example). Real bona-fide genius in a scientific field doesn't even make one a leader in said field anymore, it's all political.
We are far closer to an "Idiocracy" than a Technocracy, but the most pressing concern should be the raise of the Oligarchy.
Oh, I am coming at it from the standpoint of being a technologically enhanced authoritarian regime. I hadn’t realized it was already defined as you pointed out.
