The Courtenay Turner Podcast From Utopia to Surveillance: The Technocratic Takeover | The Courtenay Turner Radio Hour
This week on The Courtenay Turner Radio Hour, Courtenay Turner recaps her recent roundtable on technocracy with Patrick Wood, Iain Davis, and David Hughes. Drawing from their lively discussion, Courtenay introduces listeners to technocracy: a system where technical experts and data-driven systems shape governance, often at the expense of democratic processes.
She traces technocracy’s origins in early 20th-century thought and contrasts its original vision of scientific management for the public good with today’s reality—where efficiency and control often override individual liberty. Courtenay explores how modern technologies are fueling this shift, including smart cities, AI governance, digital ID systems, tokenized economies, and data-driven social credit systems. She also examines how technocratic principles are transforming healthcare and the corporate world, sometimes sidelining human judgment and privacy.
Throughout the episode, Courtenay draws on insights from her expert panel to highlight the risks and implications of a technocratic society, from surveillance and loss of autonomy to the centralization of power. She encourages listeners to consider how these trends impact their daily lives—and what steps can be taken to preserve freedom and cognitive liberty in an increasingly digital world.
Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of technocracy’s past, present, and future, and discover why understanding these changes is crucial for everyone concerned about the direction of society.
