The developed world has tame poverty to a reasonable extent via the instrumentality of technology.If you watch the difference between old stone age and new stone age,you will know is technology.All the sectors starting from agricultural,financial,industrial and educational tor you will see that technology has brought a lot of calculated transformation to the extent that technology triggered high productivity meaning what 100 men could do in one month, with technology,it will be done in a day.

You're right that technology creates much more wealth. Many types of technology can increase production by 100 times or more. You say that the developed world has tamed poverty thanks to technology. How do you think that's actually happening? The problem is that a limited group of people actually benefit from the production gained from technology. Sure, there is some more tax money paid, but most of the money goes making the rich get richer.

Most dictatorships eventually fall due to a reaction of the people. A 'scientific dictatorship' (aka 'technocracy') seeks to cut off some of the avenues for failure which have vexed past dictatorships. This through extremely fine-grained monitoring and control of every aspect of every individual's life.

Those funding the 'technocracy' which is half-way in place already are largely the very people who mastered the previous dictatorship which was based on control of debt-based money. They plan to continue to sit right where they are at on top of the pyramid, but be able to sleep better at night knowing that a toppling is even less possible than before.

BTW, could these debt-based monetary system leaders have created peace and comfort to the impoverished masses? I say 'yes', they probably could have. Did they? I say 'no'. For the most part they created war, misery, and hopelessness in order to increase their own wealth and power. I see no reason why they would change their tune if/when they sat atop a technocracy. The 'illuminated' mind does not tend to see value in such things. The 'scientists and engineers' who work on these technocracy systems will NOT be the ones making the decisions as is commonly marketed. In fact they will be a weak link in the system due to their knowledge and capabilities and will probably be in some danger.

I understand a lot of what you're saying, but I don't see the answer my question. Sorry, if I'm just missing it. You talk about new dictatorship in the form of technocracy. You said previously that the developed world has tamed poverty thanks to technology. How is this actually happening? How is the "technocracy" sharing the wealth somehow to make poor people more wealthy? I don't find that dictators are usually overly generous.
