 Robbie Davis-Floyd Interview
That's the great thing about the technocracy, or the cyborg society - that when something like homebirth, or intution, is in danger of being lost in a dominant cultural sense, subcultural, counter-cultural groups will spring up and reclaim it, and yell and scream about it.
Again, that's one of the vital strengths of the technocracy - is that all these different knowledge systems clash, compete, argue, discuss, fight over laws, you know - and that keeps it strong, it keeps it vital, it keeps it open, it keeps it more of an open system.
And they tended to be extremely hierarchical, extremely bureaucratic, often totalitarian; whereas technocracies, or the technocracy - are organized around the flow of information, more than the flow of products.

 STS Program Theme 2005-2006
The goal of the series is not only to investigate case studies of technology in human rights, but also to address the underlying question of how in the last century technology, broadly defined, has defined the meaning and purview of human rights.
The Janus face of technology in relation to human rights, its role in both new forms of atrocity that prompt the demand for extra-state rights and its nascent ability to instantiate these norms, ultimately could be argued to define the field itself.
The relation of technology, technocracy, and human rights thus has philosophical components that are closely related to grave and immediate practical applications.

This concept of technocracy is explained here using ideas from Max Weber, Daniel Bell, Stuart Hall and several other writers, as well as some further ideas from Poggi.
There was rule by experts long before the twentieth century started, and the rule of law remained important after the nineteenth century closed; and, for some purposes, I follow the common practice of allowing the nineteenth century to run from 1789 to 1914, and the twentieth to start in the 1890s.
The point of the theories is to provide useful organising devices for our thoughts: the legal state and technocracy are 'ideal types', broad abstractions from the empirical variations that are described in later chapters.
